LiCSAR-WinFetch v1.3.0

LiCSAR-WinFetch v1.3.0

LiCSAR-WinFetch v1.3.0 is the revised stable release of the LiCSAR acquisition and multi-frame temporal-planning toolkit.

Highlights

• Cross-platform Python implementation validated on Windows, Ubuntu, and macOS.
• Continuous-integration testing across Python 3.10 and 3.12.
• Resumable LiCSAR product acquisition with .part handling, HTTP Range recovery, remote-size checks, and atomic finalisation.
• LiCSBAS-ready GEOC organisation and post-download structural validation.
• Inventory-only multi-frame temporal planning with:
  • independent selection,
  • common-period selection,
  • common-epoch selection,
  • exact common-pair selection,
  • graph connectivity and isolated-epoch diagnostics.
• Expanded Qilian Mountains validation for 22 LiCSAR frames.
• Added four-mode network diagnostics for the 106D relative-orbit group.
• Added bounded equivalence validation against maintained COMET LiCSBAS Step 01.
• SHA-256 coverage expanded to all 20 files in the bounded benchmark.
• Updated figures, tables, documentation, reviewer-validation utilities, and reproducibility evidence.

Validation summary

• 15/15 deterministic tests passed.
• 6/6 cross-platform CI jobs passed:
  • Windows / Python 3.10
  • Windows / Python 3.12
  • Ubuntu / Python 3.10
  • Ubuntu / Python 3.12
  • macOS / Python 3.10
  • macOS / Python 3.12
• Qilian metadata planning: 22/22 frame inventories completed.
• Bounded benchmark: 4 epochs, 6 interferograms, and 20 expected files.
• LiCSAR-WinFetch and maintained LiCSBAS Step 01 produced all 20 expected paths; 19/20 files were byte-identical by SHA-256, with the sole difference arising from the representative MLI source epoch.
• All 12 interferogram products were byte-identical.
• SHA-256 was computed for all 20 benchmark files on both sides.
• LiCSBAS Step 02 completed successfully for all six interferograms without manual renaming or directory reorganisation.

Scope

LiCSAR-WinFetch prepares and validates acquisition inputs. It does not perform interferogram generation, time-series inversion, mosaicking, cross-frame reference harmonisation, LOS decomposition, or geophysical validation.

The historical download_licsar_windows.py entry-point filename is retained for backward compatibility; the core implementation is cross-platform.

LiCSAR-WinFetch v1.2.4

First public release of LiCSAR-WinFetch.

Main capabilities

• Windows-native LiCSAR product discovery and acquisition
• Parallel transfer with retries, .part files, and HTTP Range resume
• Machine-readable file-level reports and logs
• LiCSBAS-ready GEOC and interferogram-pair organisation
• Structural validation of required unw and cc products
• Inventory-only multi-frame temporal planning
• Common-period, common-epoch, and exact common-pair analysis
• Graph-connectivity and isolated-epoch diagnostics

Validation

• 15 deterministic tests passed

• Bounded benchmark: 4 epochs, 6 interferograms, and 20 files
• LiCSBAS step 02 completed successfully for the bounded benchmark

Scope

The software prepares and validates LiCSAR inputs. It does not perform
interferogram generation, time-series inversion, frame mosaicking,
cross-frame reference correction, or geophysical interpretation.
