5.3.0

New automation tools and support for internal compression!

5.0.0

5.0.0

Bug fixes

• Function shapeSize() was wrong for N = 0
• Method readSize() of ImageHdu and ImageRaster was wrong for N != 2
• BintableColumns::initSeq() was ill-formed for non-tuple sequences
• Fixed BintableColumns::readSegmentSeq() with unresolved bound (-1)

Breaking changes

• Updated to Elements 6.0.1
• Raster<T, N> becomes Raster<T, N, TContainer> to work with any contiguous container
  (with PtrRaster<T, N> = Raster<T, N, T*> and VecRaster<T, N> = Raster<T, N, vector<T>>)
• ColumnInfo<T> becomes ColumnInfo<T, N> and variable repeatCount becomes method repeatCount()
  to support multidimensional entries
• Column<T> becomes Column<T, N, TContainer>
  to support multidimensional entries and to work with any contiguous container
  (with PtrColumn<T, N> = Column<T, N, T*> and VecColumn<T, N> = Column<T, N, vector<T>>)
• PtrColumn(info, elementCount, data) becomes PtrColumn(info, rowCount, data) for homogeneity with VecColumn

Refactoring

• Raster, Column and Position inherit DataContainer (see below)
• PtrRaster, VecRaster, PtrColumn and VecColumn are now mere aliases
• Methods which took a Raster& or Column& as parameter now accept any type which fullfills Raster or Column requirements
• All DataContainers fulfill the standard ContiguousContainer requirements (e.g are iterable)
• All DataContainers have vector space arithmetic (e.g. support +, -, *, /)
• DataContainer::apply() and DataContainer::generate() enable arbitrary element-wise transforms,
  including with other DataContainers as arguments
• ColumnInfo has a member shape in lieu of repeatCount to support multidimensional entries
• Column::entry() returns a view as a PtrRaster for multidimensional columns
• Column::elementCount() is deprecated and replaced with standard size()
• MefFile method names have been standardized (old names are kept for backward compatibility but deprecated)
• VecRaster::vector() and VecColumn::vector() are deprecated (use container() instead, which performs no copy)
• Named and Indexed are deprecated (use maker function as())

Other new features

• Header units and data units can be accessed directly from a MefFile
  (e.g. access<ImageRaster>(1) is a shortcut for access<ImageHdu>(1).raster())
• Multi-dimensional columns are supported
• Empty binary table HDUs can be created
• FileMode::Write added to edit an existing file or create a new one
• Added BintableColumns::readSeq() overloads for homogeneous sequences (returns std::vector<VecColumn<T>>)
• Record and DataContainers support operator<<()
• New method FitsFile::handoverToCfitsio() returns the CFITSIO's fitsfile*
• New "Game of Life" example demonstrates the use of slicing

Optimization and cleaning

• Access to raster and column elements is notably faster
• Many similar code blocks have been merged (e.g. through mixins)
• Several overloads have been merged (e.g. with ColumnKey and TypedKey)
• Legal notices have been reviewed
• Formatting has been reviewed
• This change log was added to Doxygen pages
