pyABF 2.2.5

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Minor Changes

• Improved support for ABFs with waveforms with an arbitrary number of digital outputs. (#107) Thanks Dan
• pyabf.showInfo() displays information useful for debugging on remote systems

pyABF 2.2.4

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Minor Changes

• ABF.userList now contains a list of values if the ABF contains a user list (#103) Thanks @KBenthall and @IndigeNerd

pyABF 2.2.3

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Minor Changes

• made it easier to pip install pyabf on systems without numpy installed (#103) Thanks @NileGraddis

pyABF 2.2.2

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Minor Changes

• fixed bug that caused improperly-formatted ABFs containing invalid dates to crash during load (#101 ) Thanks @Taomach and @t-b
• created fileUUID as a truly unique alternative to fileGUID (which is not always unique). A warning is now thrown when fileGUID is accessed. (#102 )
• added md5 property to the ABF class

pyABF 2.2.1

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Minor Changes

• added support for external tags (previously only comment tags were supported)

pyABF 2.2.0

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Major Changes

• Improved support for ABF1 files (more header values are properly populated) Thanks @t-b (#93)
• Dropped support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 (previously supported by pyABF 2.1.x)

Minor Changes

• Fixed a bug in abf.fileGUID that resulted in a GUID inaccurate by 1 byte (2 hex characters). Old incorrect GUIDs can be distinguished from new corrected GUIDs by the presence of curly braces (which are only in the old incorrect GUIDs).
• Wrote tests to ensure header values extracted with pyabf match those generated by abfinfo.exe
• Improved locating and loading protocols from non-windows paths Thanks @t-b (#97)
• Added abf.creator property

pyABF 2.1.10

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Minor Changes

• several changes to how stimulus files are loaded
  • stimulusFileFolder is now an argument in the ABF constructor
  • formally warn if attempting to set protocolStorageDir (not recommended)
  • display warning if manually-defined stimulus file cannot be located
  • stimulus file paths are now Linux-safe (despite backslashes being stored in the binary content of ABF files)
  • improved how missing stimulus files are located
• remove f-strings from stimulus generation code to make it Python2 compatible
• fixed bug causing an exception when generating waveform for ABFs with an empty epoch table
• improved date detection in ABF1 files which support it (#92)
• improved GUID detection in ABF1 files which support it (#92)
• added nExperimentType to ABF1 file header (#92)

pyABF 2.1.8

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Minor Changes

• populated pyabf.tools module for public testing of experimental code
• membrane test can be accessed with pyabf.tools.Memtest(abf) like this
• AP event detection is crude but works like this

pyABF 2.1.7

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Minor Changes

• added support for custom sample rates when writing ABF1 files
• improved sample rate detection for multi-channel ABF1 files
• improved error messages when trying to load ABF files into the ATF class (and vise-versa)

pyABF 2.1.6

This release is on pypi.org/project/pyabf

pip install --upgrade pyabf

Major Changes

• pyabf.tools.memtest provides calculation of passive membrane properties (holding current, membrane resistance, access resistance, and whole-cell capacitance) from voltage-clamp recordings containing a hyperpolarizing square pulse or a fast V-shaped voltage ramp.
  • Example usage is demonstrated on the advanced examples page
  • For analytical details, see my membrane test theory notebook
  • Additional membrane test analysis and implementation details are in the docstrings of the pyabf.tools.memtest module.

Minor Changes

• Demonstrations of how to access epoch points, types, times, and levels were added to the cookbook
• Sweep start time arrays abf.sweepTimesMin and abf.sweepTimesMin were added to the ABF class
