RMF 1.6.1 release

• .deb packages for RMF for Ubuntu are now provided via the Ubuntu PPA mechanism.
• rmf_cat now checks that all of the files it has been asked to concatenate have the same structure and static frame, and exits with an error if they don't. A new --force option is provided to override this check.
• Bugfix: fixes to build with Boost 1.85

Full Changelog: 1.6.0...1.6.1

RMF 1.6.0 release

• RPM packages for RMF for RedHat Linux (and clones such as Alma or Rocky) and for Fedora are now provided by the COPR project.
• RMF::decorator::Chain can now store a per-chain sequence offset and UniProt accession. The offset, which defaults to zero, maps from the sequence index (which always starts at 1) to the residue index (which may not).

Full Changelog: 1.5.1...1.6.0

RMF 1.5.1 release

• Any String or Strings attributes containing fileystem paths are now rewritten when the RMF static frame is cloned (e.g. during rmf_slice or rmf_cat) so that they are relative to the new file, not the old one. This relies on the convention that path attributes have names ending in "filename" or "filenames".
• Bugfix: particles without Cartesian coordinates are now handled correctly by the get_all_global_coordinates() Python function.
• Bugfix: relative paths should now be set correctly when the path to the RMF file itself contains one or more '..' components.

RMF 1.5.0 release

• Windows builds now require MS Visual Studio 2015 or later (for full C++11 support). The following macros for pre-C++11 environments are no longer needed and are deprecated: RMF_NOEXCEPT, RMF_CANEXCEPT.
• All RMF binaries now report the full version (including micro version) when the --version flag is used (e.g. "1.4.1", not "1.4").
• If built with NumPy, some Python-specific functions are now provided to allow direct access to RMF data via NumPy arrays.
• File handles can now be explicitly closed (via a close method). Most IO operations on a closed handle will now raise an error. In Python file handles now support the context manager protocol so can be used in 'with' blocks.

RMF 1.4.1 release

• Build fixes to work with SWIG 4.1.
• Various internal build scripts now use 'python3' rather than unversioned 'python'.

RMF 1.4 release

• RMF now requires a C++11 compiler and SWIG 3 (or later) to build. Most recent compilers should support C++11, such as gcc, clang or MS Visual Studio 2012 or later. Various macro and header workarounds for pre-C++11 environments are thus no longer needed and are deprecated: RMF_FINAL, RMF_OVERRIDE, and RMF_FOREACH.
• Build fixes for latest log4cxx, in C++17 mode, or with newer versions of gcc.

RMF 1.3.1 release

• Various build fixes for newer versions of gcc and clang.
• Build fixes for Fedora 33 or later.
• Add support for Python 3.10.
• Minor documentation improvements.

RMF 1.3 release

• All RMF binaries now support the --version flag, and the RMF library itself is versioned.

RMF 1.2 release

• A new category of decorators 'provenance' allows information about how the structure was generated to be added to the file.
• The new RMF::decorator::Reference decorator allows for a node to mark another node as its reference.
• The new RMF::decorator::ExplicitResolution decorator allows attaching an explicitly-set resolution to a node. (This allows such values from IMP to be accurately stored in the file.)
