v0.5.0

Major release introducing multi-scene options within the same simulation. Specifically multiple SceneObjs can be defined using makeScene(append=True). API updates were required to allow this change:

• results are now stored in a DataFrame as RadianceObj.results and AnalysisObj.results
• trackerdict[‘key’][‘scene’] has been renamed trackerdict[‘key’][‘scenes’] and now returns a list of SceneObjs

What's Changed

• multiple sceneObjects are tracked by the RadianceObj now. RadianceObj.sceneNames returns the list of scenes being tracked. (GH 487)

• Add 'columns' and 'methods' introspection to RadObj, MetObj and GrounObj. #495,

• Under development: cec performance analysis in AnalysisObj. calculatePerformance and ModuleObj. calculatePerformance #543

• AnalysisObj.groundAnalysis to support AgriPV applications. (GH 499)

• RadianceObj.analysis1axisground) runs a ground scan for 1-axis tracked scenes. (GH 499)

• RadianceObj.readWeatherData() takes raw time series and metadata dict to generate a MetObj. Useful for e.g. bringing in raw NSRDB data. (GH 496)
