Woohoo! Changes since v0.15.0 include: - Use the UltraJSON library (if available) to load data files; this speeds up loading of data files moderately. - Improve logging of Flent's operations. The log file will now contain a proper superset of the console output, and Flent has been made slightly more verbose about what it is doing. Also, the log is now shown in a pane in the GUI. - Fix an error breaking plots on Python 2 and some versions of matplotlib. - Support PyQt5 in the GUI (and prefer it over PyQt4). If PyQt5 is not found, fall back to PyQt4. - Add new SummaryFormatter that outputs mean and median values for each data series. This is the new default formatter, meaning that its output will be shown after a test run if no other formatter (or plot) is specified. - Support multiprocessing in the GUI. When loading several plots at once, plotting will now be passed off to separate worker processes. This allows plotting to use all the available processors on the machine, and speeds up loading of many plots tremendously (initial load is sped up by an order of magnitude). This change also means that re-plotting on config changes will be done dynamically in the background, which makes the GUI more responsive. - Make text completely black in the default colour scheme. This increases contrast, and helps legibility, especially on printed figures. - Some internal code changes: Port command line parser from the old optparse class to the newer argparse, and fix a bunch of linter errors. The Flent source is available via PyPy. The checksum for the source code is: 6f63ea37179be50585396080f0ed992eb2f850a493dd97b873782c14e965f674 flent-1.0.0.tar.gz d98fce96daf200360cec59a9618c72078b49a2c6272e6b4f4e02822d9ae20482 flent-1.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl 914be643f85cad025f621925832e2a59cd18bf9efbfe93d8b56a033be24e0ac1 flent-1.0.0-py3.6.egg The PPA will be updated shortly, and Flent will also be included in the upcoming Debian Strech release. -Toke
