Release 0.6.0
In this version of Z-checker:
LibpressioOPT is developed for searching the bestfit error control setting based on user-concerned metric such as compression ratio and PSNR. LibpressioOPT (https://github.com/robertu94/libpressio_opt) is under processing of BSD license copyright, so it is in a private repo now. It can be accessed upon request.
LibpressioOPT has been integrated in Z-checker to search for the best error setting based on specified target compression ratio as a use-case. To enable it, please check z-checker-installer's instruction document.
This corresponding z-checker-installer version also supports more compressors (including FPZIP, MGARD, digit rounding and bit grooming) compared with the previous version 0.5.0.
This version also supports automatic comparison of visual quality of decompressed data based on the same/similar compression ratios.
This version also supports a few more very important metrics such as different versions or formats of derivatives.
Fixed some bugs (please check the git log for details)
Z-checker has been integrated in Spack.
