pySED v2.4.1 - legacy 2.x

pySED 2.4.1: legacy 2.x maintenance release

✨ Highlights

This release preserves the existing 2.x workflow before the separate 3.0 upgrade.

⚡ Fixes since v2.4.0

• Preserve explicitly supplied q-path fractions such as 7/15 and -17/31 through input parsing and commensurate q-point construction (#66).
• Retain short-decimal normalization and support for programmatically supplied floating-point q paths.
• Include regression tests for exact fractional paths and documentation/publication-list updates.

🧩 Workflow and Compatibility

• The 2.x input interface, HDF5 workflow, numerical conventions, and MIT license are unchanged.
• The v2.4.1 tag identifies this exact release; legacy/2.4 preserves the old-version branch.
• Version 3.0 remains on codex/pysed-3.0-architecture. No 3.0 implementation has been merged into main or included here.

🚀 Installation

Install this fixed version from GitHub:

python -m pip install "git+https://github.com/Tingliangstu/pySED.git@v2.4.1"

Alternatively, download and install the attached wheel. The PyPI package named pysed is an unrelated text-processing utility; this release is published on GitHub, not PyPI.

📦 Downloads and Archives

• GitHub's Source code archives contain the tagged repository, including examples and documentation sources.
• The attached wheel and sdist contain the installable Python package.
• pySED-2.4.1-manual-html.zip contains the frozen HTML manual; extract it and open index.html.
• SHA256SUMS.txt provides SHA-256 checksums for the three attached distribution/manual files.

✅ Validation

Validated locally on Windows with Python 3.13:

• All 5 legacy regression tests passed.
• Strict Sphinx documentation build passed.
• Wheel/sdist build and twine check passed.
• Isolated wheel installation and all three CLI aliases passed.
• Four synthetic HDF5 calculation cases passed: serial/parallel and total/partial SED agree, with the expected 6.25 THz peak.
