Release History¶
Version 7.0.0 2014-10-08¶
Features:¶
some adjustments to the : LCONF_Specification
implementation of: LCONF_Specification-7.0 (raised version to reflect the LCONF_Specification version)
Note
LCONF Specification 7.0 should be backwards compatible with version 6.0
adds support for setting: optional Empty-KeyValuePair-ReplacementValues in the
LCONF-Default-Template-Structure
- for instance: a integer value is expected but one wants for empty LCONF Key :: Value Pairs to return -1
new optional argument empty_key_value_pair for LCONF.main_code.lconf_emit()
new attributes: key_empty_replacementvalue for
Fixes/Other Changes:¶
updated Required Software
updated requirement:
- PSphinxTheme>=2.0.2
FIXED: small text error in LCONF.main_code.lconf_parse_section_lines()
Version 6.1.1 2014-10-04¶
Fixes/Other Changes:¶
updated requirement:
- PSphinxTheme>=2.0.1
updated Required Software
updated: updated docs: Projects using LCONF
Version 6.1.0 2014-10-02¶
Fixes/Other Changes:¶
updated requirement: PSphinxTheme>=2.0.0
removed wrong double underscore in: main_code.lconf_emit__default_obj renamed to lconf_emit_default_obj
- changes in module: LCONF.transform
removed function: lconf_to_number use instead LCONF.transform.lconf_to_float()
- changes in LCONF.transform.lconf_to_float()
uses now python cast: float() directly which includes more valid number strings e.g: 1.1111111111111111e-11
Version 6.0.1 2014-09-30¶
Fixes/Other Changes:¶
deleted wrong double line in README.rst
some code style adjustments
updated tested python version to: 3.4.2rc1
Required Software:
- setuptools >= 6.0.2
- PSphinxTheme >= 1.4.0
Version 6.0.0 2014-09-26¶
Features:¶
implementation of: LCONF_Specification-6.0 (raised version to reflect the LCONF_Specification version)
Note
LCONF Specification 6.0 is not backwards compatible
it allows deep nesting of Repeated Blocks and Key-Value Mappings
it introduces two new identifier for Key-Value Mappings and for all Lists
- now all special LCONF Structures have identifiers
added support for setting empty Key-Value-Lists
changed Key :: Value-Lists: got rid of the square brackets
it adds List-Of-Tuples: useful for multidimensional lists or tables e.g. csv data
added function: lconf_to_native_type which transform lconf to a python native type
- which can be used for example to dump to yaml
Speed Improvements:
Speed Improvements: new python library version is much faster than the previous implementation lconf library action PY version speed improvement final speed improvement (cython) lconf validation: FASTER old version: is still about 10% faster final new version: takes only 60% of previous lconf emit: FASTER new version: is about 30% faster final new version: takes only 50% of previous lconf parse: FASTER new version: is about 15% faster final new version: takes only 55% of previous
Speed Comparison: PY: lconf vs. json (using OrderedDict) vs. PyYAML (3.11) action PY PyYAML PY json (using OrderedDict) PY lconf emit/dump: slowest 100% middle 6% of PyYaml’s time fastest 1% of PyYaml’s time parse/load: slowest 100% middle 6% of PyYaml’s time fastest 3% of PyYaml’s time
Speed Comparison: C: lconf vs. json (using OrderedDict) vs. PyYAML (3.11) action C json (using OrderedDict) C json C lconf emit/dump: slowest 100% middle 70% of Ordered Json’s time fastest 26% of Ordered Json’s time parse/load: slowest 100% fastest 10% of Ordered Json’s time middle 90% of Ordered Json’s time Todo
At the moment the LCONF cython extensions .pyx is just a simple copy of the .py file. This could be improved in the future.
Fixes/Other Changes:¶
improved: setup.py, MANIFEST.in, Makefile
changed: transform.py lconf_to_datetime format from: YYYY-MM-DD-hh:mm to YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm
- plus additional support for: lconf_to_datetime YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
