Aurora v0.5.2 Release Notes

Release date: 2025-08-03

This release represents a major modernization and feature expansion of the Aurora MT processing pipeline, following the JOSS release v0.3.13. The focus is on robust, flexible, and reproducible transfer function estimation, with a particular emphasis on feature-based channel weighting and improved metadata integration.

Major Features and Changes

Feature-Based Channel Weighting

  • Aurora now supports feature-based channel weighting, enabling more robust, data-driven weighting strategies for transfer function estimation.
  • Integration with mt_metadata.features.weights allows users to define, load, and apply channel weights based on features such as striding window coherence.
  • The new test suite (test_feature_weighting.py) demonstrates how feature weights can be injected into the processing pipeline and compared to standard processing.
  • This lays the foundation for future expansion to additional features and more flexible weighting schemes.

Packaging and Dependency Modernization

  • Migration to PEP 621-compliant pyproject.toml for all metadata and dependencies.
  • Minimal setup.py retained for legacy compatibility.
  • All dependencies, including mth5 (from GitHub master), are now managed in TOML.
  • License files and package data are now included automatically.

CI/CD and Testing Improvements

  • Continuous integration workflows updated to use uv for fast dependency installation and reproducible builds.
  • All dev dependencies are now installed from pyproject.toml.
  • Test coverage improved, including new tests for utility functions and feature weighting.
  • Automated notebook execution for documentation.

Documentation and Usability

  • Improved docstrings and code comments, especially around feature weighting and metadata integration.
  • Release notes and PR summaries now included for transparency and reproducibility.

Other Notable Changes

  • General codebase cleanup and modernization.
  • Alphabetized and cleaned up dependencies in TOML files.
  • Improved error handling and logging.

Thanks to all contributors and users for feedback and support!
