Changes ******* Release 0.5.0 (released 06-Aug-2015) ==================================== New features ------------ * New task types: Event, Lock, Semaphore, BoundedSemaphore from the threading module. * Changed examples to work with incompatible changes. * Added examples for synchronization objects from the threading module. Incompatible changes -------------------- * task method: now there is only one target arguments. If target requires more than one argument, pass them as a tuple. Fixes ----- * Methods task_info and runs_left now return correct data when called from outside the inquired task. Documentation ------------- * Added new task types. Release 0.4.0 (released 04-Jul-2015) ==================================== New features ------------ * New timing generator 'uniform': run tasks with a random period with uniform distribution. * Timing generators 'aligned' and 'now' accept fractional periods. * Updated timecap.py example for 'uniform' timing generator. Internals --------- * Refactored method 'aligned': timing computation as closure. Fixes ----- * Eliminated period drift from 'now' timing generator. Documentation ------------- * Added 'uniform' timing generator. Release 0.3.0 (released 18-May-2015) ==================================== New features ------------ * Task run timing changed to timing generators. * New timing generator 'aligned': run tasks periodically aligned to a reference time. * New timing generator 'now': run task periodically with immediate start. * New method runs_left: return the remaining number of times the task will be run. If the task is run forever return -1. * New example (timecap.py): show different timing capabilities. Incompatible changes -------------------- * task method: now all arguments have defaults and timing argument must be one of the timing generators. * task_info method: now returns the count of task run times and a tuple with all the arguments given at the call of 'task' method. Internals --------- * Refactored RunTask init argument 'phase' to 'epoch'. * _time method changed to work with both normal system time and scaled and shifted system time. * _run method: refactored 'task' to 'target' and changed for timing generators. Fixes ----- * Eliminated tick drift from tasks run time. Documentation ------------- * Added timing generators and runs_left method. * Added new timecap.py example. Release 0.2.0 (released 29-Apr-2015) ==================================== New features ------------ * Run time speed: set the scheduling time flowing speed with respect to system time. * Run time phase: add an offset to the scheduling time. * Method task_info, if task has a finite run count, it returns also the current run number. Otherwise, it returns -1. * Extended example to show counted runs and RunTask stopping. Incompatible changes -------------------- * RunTask class, removed time argument. * Method task_data changed name to task_info. Internals --------- * New method _time, run time computation. * Method _set, removed, partially replaced by method _time. Fixes ----- * Method stop, errata call to _set, corrige call to set. Documentation ------------- * Updated to 0.2.0 Release 0.1.0 (released 16-Feb-2015) ==================================== Changes ------- * First release.
