v1.6.0

Added

• Support for hosted dimebox service https://dimebox.xyz.
• Support for the Cori machine.

Changed

• Internal restructuring of CLI commands

v1.5.0

• New pairargs keyword for experiment specification which allows argument combinations
  to be pairwise instead of a cross-product.
• New prologue keyword for experiment specification which can run arbitrary commands
  when a job starts
• User-defined parsing can now be objects with various helper functions (onInit, onNewFile, parseLine).
• New regex parser that can use command line options to specify what to parse as a regular expression
• The output of dimebox parse can be specified to be either TSV or JSON

Changed

• Improved SVN version control extraction
• watch will no longer open result files that do not exist
• The weakargs specification uses the same eval code as filter
• The weakargs specification can now use the $depth variable

Bugfixes

• Fixed issue where batch size was not taken into account for stagger
• Local machine now uses bash instead of sh
• Fixed width issue with dimebox summary

v1.4.0

Added

• Support for raw flags in experiment files that can be passed to job headers or run flags directly.

Changed

• Richer interface for watch that is more interactive.
• Fixed bug with job creation on edison machine
• Fixed bug where walltime in files were not correctly interpreted as times

v1.3.0

Added

• Subcommand kill, which allows a user to cancel all submitted jobs for an epoch
• User defaults for all commands can now be read in from $HOME/.dimebox/defaults.yml
• parse now has options to select specific columns, sort rows or filter rows
• Custom machine configurations can now be created and placed in $HOME/.dimebox/machines
• Support for machine Edison (edison.nersc.gov)
• Bash completition script in tools/
• Dump of machine information when generating jobs in jobs/$epoch/machine.yml

Changed

• Result files can contain more than one observation with the dbx.obs keyword, allowing for tidy data when using parse.
• Cleaner output for watch subcommand which includes time of last status update
• Turned off sample job display in summary by default to cut down on noise

v1.2.0

Added

• Subcommand watch, which allows for a user to monitor the status of an epoch
• parse now allows for aggregation of numeric values with the same key into mean, stddev and other statistics with the --agg flag. Combined with the trials parameter in the expfile, this allows for multiple runs to be aggregated and parsed into one output.
• Adding richer symbolic epoch syntax (e.g., HEAD~~ is the third to last experiment).
• Version control information is now captured for SVN repos as well as git
• Metadata for result files are now stored in $epoch/.md as structured YAML data.

Changed

• Failures during runs (non-zero exit codes) are now recorded by touching a file in the a $epoch/.fail directory in results. This replaces the need for searching all files for failure strings. All previous experiment sets will have incorrect counts for number of failed files.
• optarg values that have spaces no longer cause problems with generated filenames with spaces

v1.1.0

Added

• The commands generate, summary, init, submit, parse, rm, and resolve.
• Support for the 'rain' and 'vulcan' platforms.
• Basic support for key-value extraction from result files
