Change Log¶

Version 0.14¶

FEATURE- GetServices allows you to get all connected eDNA service information
FEATURE- GetPoints allows you to get information about all points in a service
FEATURE- Number of connected services are printed when library is imported
Better error handling for eDNA connection drops
Before a data pull, there is now error checking to see if a point exists
GetMultipleTags no longer automatically resamples and forward-fills data. The user should be in control of this.

FEATURE- In the pulling functions, you can now use the desc_as_label parameter to use the point description as the DataFrame column name.
FEATURE- In the pulling functions, you can now specify a custom column label.
Better handling of non-ASCII characters in descriptions and units
GetRTFull never returned a point description- alternative written
Improved handling of unicode errors- non-Unicode characters are now ignored
Consistency between ezdna and serv file formatting and dll calls
Beginnings of a unit test framework
Miscellaneous code cleanup

MAJOR- Refactoring of all GetHistX methods into GetHist. Please use the “mode” parameter to specify the type of history call. Old methods still available.
New DEPENDENCY- Numba
Significant speed increase due to JIT compilation
Bugfix in __init__ header
Project documentation

Bugfix in GetHist related to “switch” statement
Minor documentation fixes
Mocking the dna_dll variable so that RTD documentation can be automatically created

Bugfix- minor issue with a duplicated last point in every data pull
Bugfix where GetPoints and GetServices did not return the first entry (due to eDNA apparently treating these functions in a completely different way than the GetHist functions)
Fixed issue in GetMultipleTags where the pandas function drop_duplicates() removed too many rows. Removed duplicate indices only, instead.
