CHANGELOG.md

2.7.2

• By default storepatch keywords are false. This means that gitpatch is NOT stored by default. This is a BUGFIX, because there is an unknown problem of non-halting when storing the patch.

2.7.0

• DrWatson-related ENVironment variables are now available to globally set the default values for e.g. story git patches, tagging, or safe-saving in various functions like tagsave or produce_or_load.

2.6.0

• Use JLD2's jldopen in collect_results! to speed up loading of metadata.

2.5.0

• Add an update option of collect_results! allowing the updating of an existing results collection if data files were modified or deleted.

2.4.1

• savename's default options now have sigdigits = 3 instead of digits = 3 as stated in the documentation string. This was supposed to happen already since 2.0 but did not because of a bug. (#284)
• Any subtypes of AbstractDict now work with DrWatson (#283).

2.4.0

• Add the macro version of produce_or_load to enable tagging with the calling source file and line.

2.3.0

• Enable pass through of kwargs to wsave in produce_or_load, tagsave and safesave (to e.g. allow compression in JLD2 files).

2.2.0

• isdirty(gitpath = projectdir()) function for checking if gitpath points to a dirty Git repository. (#263)

2.1.0

• initialize_project now allows for custom templates.

2.0.4

• produce_or_load now will not attempt to tagsave for inappropriate file formats, like .csv.

2.0.3

• Added a kwarg equals to savename to extend applicability.

2.0

Breaking

• DrWatson has moved entirely on using JLD2.jl instead of BSON.jl for saving files, and also suggests the same to its users through the documentation.
• tmpsave now saves as JLD2.jl and requires loading explicitly the "params" field.
• collect_results saves as JLD2.jl by default now.
• produce_or_load saves as JLD2.jl by default now.
• savename will no longer replace a floating point number with its integer version, if they coincide with respect to rounding. Thus, "integer" AbstractFloats will always end with .0 in savename.
• savename's scientific keyword has been replaced by sigdigits, as this was the only thing it was doing.
• savename's default options now have sigdigits = 3 instead of digits = 3.

Non-breaking

• savename now allows a keyword val_to_string for customization.

1.18.3

• Remove type constraints on produce_or_load path argument (#229)

1.18.2

• Keyword storepatch now exists in produce_or_load as well.

1.18.1

1.18.0

1.17.0

• produce_or_load now supports passing function as the first argument to support the do-block syntax.

1.16.6

• @onlyif now doesn't expand vector arguments if it's placed inside another vector. (#209)
• @onlyif now supports chaining. See real world examples: "Defining parameter sets with restrictions". (#210)

1.16.5

• The patch information for a dirty repository now also contains the diff for submodules.

1.16.1

• dict_list now retains the value's type from the passed dictionary.

1.16.0

• Add a sort option to savename.

1.15.0

• Better default readme file for a new project.

1.14.6

• new keyword argument rpath for collect_results! that allows storing relative paths

1.14.0

• New macro @onlyif that allows placing restrictions on values in a dictionary used for expansion with dict_list

1.13.1

• gitpach now shows a warning if git was not found in PATH

1.13.0

• savename now includes TimeType (dates) in the default allowed types.

1.12.0

• wsave/wload now support keyword arguments.

1.11.0

• Macros @pack!, @unpack are re-exported by DrWatson.

1.10.0

• New function struct2ntuple that converts a struct to a NamedTuple (for saving)

1.9.0

• savename now has the ignore option.

1.8.0

• @quickactivate was enhanced to allow projects that also represent a module.
• initialize_project no resolves the folder name for naming the project if the path is given as "." or ".."

1.7.0

• Improve the introductory file created by DrWatson.

1.6.2

• @tag! and @tagsave now support using ; as keywords separator (#111)

1.6.0

• quickactivate doesn't do anything anymore if you try to activate to already active project.
• New macro @quickactivate

1.5.0

• Started to add support for overloading save/load for custom files. See the updated docs around wsave and wload.

1.4.1

• Fix a bug that created incompatible version strings in generated Project.toml files on release candidate versions of Julia.

1.4.0

• savename now supports rounding to significant digits with the keyword argument scientific, where scientific defines the number of significant digits.

1.3.0

• initialize_project now adds a Julia version under compat in the created Project.toml when it is called.
• The functions tag!, tagsave and their respective macros now obtain their arguments (besides the first two) as keywords instead of positional arguments. The positional versions are deprecated (#93).
• New keyword force = false for tag! and co. which replaces the existing gitcommit field.

1.2.0

• Improved behavior of savename with respect to nested containers. If a nested container is empty, it is not printed instead. For example, T=100_p=()_x=2 now becomes T=100_x=2. (if p is not empty then it is expanded as usual)

1.1.0

• initialize_project no longer makes a test directory.

1.0.1

• Allow tag! and derivatives to handle dictionaries with key type Any.

1.0.0

First major release (no notable change from 0.8.0).

0.8.0

• [BREAKING] : The gitpath argument used among many functions can now also point to a subdirectory within a git repository. Previously it had to be the top directory (i.e. the one containing .git/).
• [BREAKING] : Slightly changed how produce_or_load uses path and interacts with savename, to better incorporate the changes done in version 0.6.0. prefix is now also supported.
• tag! and co now also store the git diff patch if the repo is dirty, see gitpatch (#80).
• [BREAKING] : tag! now saves the commit information into a field gitcommit instead of just commit.

0.7.1

• projectdir() now warns if no project (other than the standard one) is active

0.7.0

• New macro @savename that is a shortcut for savename(@dict vars...)
• New function gitdescribe (see below)
• [DEPRECATED] current_commit() has been deprecated and replaced by gitdescribe() which now replaces the output of git describe if an annotated tag exists, otherwise it will return the latest commit hash.

0.6.0

• [BREAKING] Reworked the way the functions projectdir and derivatives work (#47, #64, #66). Now projectdir(args...) uses joinpath to connect arguments. None of the functions like projectdir and derivatives now end in / as well, to ensure more stability and motivate users to use joinpath or the new functionality of projectdir(args...) instead of using string multiplication *.
• New function parse_savename that attempts to reverse engineer the result of savename.

0.5.1

• Improvements to .gitignore (#55 , #54)

0.5.0

This release has breaking changes.

• Adjusted return value of produce_or_load (#52). It now always return the file and the path it is saved. If loadfile = false it returns nothing, path.
• The functionality of default_prefix has been modified (#51). Now there is a nice interplay between defining a default_prefix and passing a prefix to savename. They are merged like joinpath(prefix, default_prefix). This is valid only when default_prefix has a value other than "" (the default).

0.4.0

• Add expand functionality to savename, which handles better containers with nested containers (#50)
• produce_or_load now allows the possibility of not loading the file
• New function struct2dict that converts a struct to a dictionary (for saving)

0.3.0

• Added test as a directory of the default project (#43)
• Added tmpsave functionality: save the result of dict_list in temporary files and conveniently work with sequential clusters (#45)
• Now all saving related functions of DrWatson first mkpath of the path to save at and then save (#45)

0.2.1

• Improve type-stability of return value of dict_list (#41)

0.2.0

• Changed path and projectpath arguments of various functions (e.g. tagsave, current_commit) to gitpath universally.
• make keyword arguments of tagsave positional arguments instead (to work with the macros)
• Added two new macros: @tag! and @tagsave: these do the same thing as tag!, tagsave but in addition are able to record both the script name that called them as well as the line of code that they were called at.

0.1.0

This is the first beta release! Changelog is kept with respect to here!
