Full Changelog: 2.0...2.0.1

2.0

AvaFrame 2.0

AvaFrame 2.0 brings several user-facing changes.
Most notably, simulation names now include the module name as part of their identifier
(e.g. release1PF_4ab57f8760_com1_C_L_null_dfa instead of release1PF_4ab57f8760_C_L_null_dfa).
Existing scripts or workflows that parse simulation names will need to be updated accordingly.

This release also introduces an advanced usage / expert configuration setup. Module default
parameters can now be overridden via expert configuration files, either through the QGis Connector
or by placing ini files in the project's Inputs/CFGs/ directory. For details, see the
Advanced Usage documentation.

Com9MoTVoellmy recieved an update, with a new configuration version as well.

The AvaFrame QGis Connector has been superseded by the OpenNHM QGis Connector, which provides
access to the main simulation and analysis workflows through the QGis processing framework.
See the OpenNHM Connector documentation
for available tools and setup instructions.

Breaking Changes since 1.13.2

Config / API changes

• getModuleConfig signature changed — positional override parameter replaced by explicit fileOverride keyword argument; avalancheDir parameter added; fileOverride and modInfo parameters subsequently removed entirely
• rewriteLocalCfgs and _removeCfgItemsNotInOverride removed from cfgUtils
• MoTGenerateConfigs removed — replaced by com1DFAPreprocess
• checkCfgInfoType removed from cfgUtils
• plotFields config key removed from com1DFA — resType now controls all output fields for all timesteps
• Com9MoTVoellmy changed its configuration version, which is incompatible with 1.13.2 ini files.

Renames

• THICKNESSThFromShp → THICKNESSThFromFile across all config files and code
• findAvaDirs (com7) moved to in3Utils as findAvaDirsBasedOnInputsDir
• splitInputsFlag → splitInputs in com7Regional

Output / result format changes

• Not-affected cells now use -9999 instead of 0 in all output rasters — new config parameter to define the no-data value
• Output rasters compressed by default when written as .tif
• Simulation name format changed — module name added as a component; multi-layer suffix (L1, L2, ...) added to filenames

Removed scripts / features

• runSplitInputs.py removed — functionality integrated into runCom7Regional.py via --split-inputs flag
• Windows-OS-specific conditional imports for multiprocessing removed

1.13.2

This is a pure infrastructure release.
We had to pin numpy, salib and pyshp versions, as quite a few problems arose from the major version update of numpy (1 ->2) in relation to different qgis versions
