Release Notes

0.6.0

  • Dropped support for Python 2.7 and 3.6. [PR #459]_
  • Moved chaos pendulum example to Sphinx docs.
  • Added Astrobee example [PR #453]
  • Added the ability to pass optional arguments to the ODE solver in System. [PR #447]
  • Cylinders, Spheres, and Circles loaded via PyThreeJS will appear more round. [PR #440]
  • Added a Carvallo-Whipple bicycle example to the documentation [PR #442]
  • Oldest supported dependencies for Python 3 are aligned with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. For Python 2, the oldest necessary dependencies are used if the ones for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS are too new. [PR #432]

  • Improved the README and documentation integration. [PR #424]
  • Moved some examples to Sphinx [PRs #421, #423]
  • jupyter-sphinx enabled for examples in the documentation [PR #419]

0.5.0 (January 9, 2019)

  • SymPy introduced a backward incompatibility to differentiation Matrices in SymPy 1.2, which remained in SymPy 1.3, see: sympy/sympy#14958. This breaks PyDy's System class, see: #395. A fix is introduced to handle all support versions of SymPy. [PR #408]

  • ODEFunctionGenerator now works with no constants symbols. [PR #391]

0.4.0 (May 30, 2017)

  • Bumped minimum Jupyter notebook to 4.0 and restricted to < 5.0. [PR #381]
  • Removed several deprecated functions. [PR #375]
  • Bumped minimum required hard dependencies to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS package versions. [PR #372]
  • Implemented ThreeJS Tube Geometry. [PR #368]
  • Improved circle rendering. [PR #357]
  • kwargs can be passed from System.generate_ode_function to the matrix generator. [PR #356]
  • Lagrangian simple pendulum example added. [PR #351]
  • Derivatives can now be used as specifies in System. [PR #340]
  • The initial conditions can now be adjusted in the notebook GUI. [PR #333]
  • The width of the viz canvas is now properly bounded in the notebook. [PR #332]
  • Planes now render both sides in the visualization GUI. [PR #330]
  • Adds in more type checks for System.times. [PR #322]
  • Added an OctaveMatrixGenerator for basic Octave/Matlab printing. [PR #323]
  • Simplified the right hand side evaluation code in the ODEFunctionGenerator. Note that this change comes with some performance hits. [PR #301]

0.3.1 (January 6, 2016)

  • Removed the general deprecation warning from System. [PR #262]
  • Don't assume user enters input in server shutdown. [PR #264]
  • Use vectorized operations to compute transformations. [PR #266]
  • Speedup theano generators. [PR #267]
  • Correct time is displayed on the animation slider. [PR #272]
  • Test optional dependencies only if installed. [PR #276]
  • Require benchmark to run in Travis. [PR #277]
  • Fix dependency minimum versions in setup.py [PR #279]
  • Make CSE optional in CMatrixGenerator. [PR #284]
  • Fix codegen line break. [PR #292]
  • Don't assume Scene always has a System. [PR #295]
  • Python 3.5 support and testing against Python 3.5 on Travis. [PR #305]
  • Set minimum dependency versions to match Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 LTS. [PR #306]

0.3.0 (January 19, 2015)

User Facing

  • Introduced conda builds and binstar support. [PR #219]
  • Dropped support for IPython < 3.0. [PR #237]

  • Removed the partial implementation of the Mesh shape. [PR #172]
  • Overhauled the code generation package to make the generators more easily extensible and to improve simulation speed. [PR #113]
  • The visualizer has been overhauled as part of Tarun Gaba's 2014 GSoC internship [PR #82]. Here are some of the changes:
    • The JavaScript is now handled by AJAX and requires a simple server.

    • Shapes can now have a material attribute.
    • Model constants can be modified and the simulations can be rerun all via the GUI.
    • Switched from socket based server to python's core SimpleHTTPServer.
    • The server has a proper shutdown response [PR #241]
  • Added a new experimental System class and module to more seamlessly manage integrating the equations of motion. [PR #81]
