Full Changelog: 0.2.3...0.3.0

0.2.3 Release

This release improves the display of labels in the ROOT export, following the transition to Python 3. Previous versions 0.2.1 and 0.2.2 displayed labels as b'label'. This version removes the b and the surrounding quote marks. As with version 0.2.1 and version 0.2.2, it is recommended to use this release with the Docker image hepdata/hepdata-converter:0.2.0.

0.2.2 Release

This release fixes a bug in version 0.2.1 where an exception 'TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str' was raised when the hepdata_doi option is passed as an optional argument to the convert function, as done in the code for the HEPData web app. As with version 0.2.1, it is recommended to use this release with the Docker image hepdata/hepdata-converter:0.2.0.

0.2.1 Release

This is the first release for Python 3 and it drops support for Python 2. It is recommended to use this release with the Docker image hepdata/hepdata-converter:0.2.0, based on the Docker image rootproject/root:6.22.02-ubuntu20.04, which contains ROOT v6.22/02, Python v3.8.2, YODA v1.8.3, and hepdata-validator v0.2.2. However, the release can be used without Docker if these dependencies are installed independently.

0.1.35 Release

This release is compatible with the new hepdata-validator v0.2.1, which adds versioning of JSON schema. By default, the hepdata-converter will validate using the latest JSON schema available in the hepdata-validator. However, an option can be passed via the CLI or the convert function to use an older JSON schema version. Updates have also been made for YODA v1.7.7 and PyYAML v5.3.

Support has been added for a "Custom Rivet identifier" as a qualifier of a YAML data file, which will override the default value in the YODA export. The bin number written in the ErrorBreakdown annotation now excludes bins with non-numeric dependent variable values. Improvements to the PyPI release have been made and several small fixes to the conversion code have also been made, such as:

• Allow for the possibility of a negative symerror in CSV writer.
• Allow for two independent variables with different names when transforming a square matrix in oldhepdata parser.
• Check number of y values does not exceed number of x values in YODA writer.
• Remove $ and \ characters from table names as filenames or directories in CSV and ROOT writers.
• Account for the case of a symerror given as an empty string in CSV writer.
• Allow for the possibility of Unicode characters in error values for ROOT and YODA writers.
• Improve use of newline characters in YODA output format.
• Skip defining histogram bins for non-numeric y values in ROOT writer.

0.1.34 Release

• yoda writer: write uncertainty breakdown as ErrorBreakdown annotation (thanks to Louie Corpe).
• array writer: add process_error_labels() to ensure uniqueness, used by CSV/ROOT/YODA writers.
• root writer: improve code for case of unordered or non-overlapping bins.
• root writer: demand all bins have 'low' and 'high' before writing ROOT histogram.
• root/yoda writer: convert numbers given as strings to floats.
• docs: refinements to Docker installation instructions.
• oldhepdata parser: keep values and errors as strings (no float conversion) to maintain precision.
• root/yoda writer: treat one-sided errors (HEPData/hepdata#122) as numerical zeros.
• root writer: use ZLIB (not LZ4) compression for better compatibility with older ROOT versions.
• docs: pin matplotlib<3.0.0 in setup.py to fix "Read the Docs" build.
• oldhepdata parser: allow one-sided errors (HEPData/hepdata#122) given as '-'.
• csv writer: use default quotechar='"' and quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL.
• hepdata-converter-docker: upgrade to ROOT v6.14/06 and YODA v1.7.3.
• testdata: update all test data files to account for all converter changes above.
• global: version bump to 0.1.34.

0.1.33 Release

• Same as 0.1.32 Release but edited .travis.yml and bumped version in attempt to fix automatic PyPI upload.
