v9.1

New in version 9.1

• Implemented new query modifier query=last (#80)
• Fixed a DeprecationWarning when querying latitude/longitude with Decimal values (#264)
• Open/create a Xapian explorer only when needed, fixing locking issues on
  concurrent access (#262)
• Added ilat e ilon (integer lat/lon) for Station objects (#247)
• Added examples for messages import/export (#255)
• Removed dependency on nose (#268)
• Added Turbidity and ORP variables (#267)

v9.0

New in version 9.0

C++ API changes:

• C++ API changed: CursorMessage::get_message has been unified with
  CursorMessage::detach_message and now returns a std::shared_ptr<Message>.
  CursorMessage::detach_message has been removed. (#171)
• C++ API changed: it now uses std::shared_ptr instead of std::unique_ptr
  to return and refer to cursors. (#171)
• C++ API changed: dballe::Message now inherits std::shared_from_this and
  should always be used as std::shared_ptr (#171)
• C++ API changed: dballe::Cursor now inherits std::shared_from_this and
  should always be used as std::shared_ptr (#171)
• Now a cursor for a dballe transaction is invalidated when the transaction
  commits/rolls back. This avoids the need for a context manager to handle the
  cursor lifetime in the Python API (#171)

v8.20

  available when compiling with wreport from version 3.29. (#241)
• Added Lifted, virtual T and Skin Temperature variables
• Added support for python 3.9 in nose2 tests
• Dropped support for nose1
• Added dbadb import --domain-errors={unset|clamp}. clamp is only available
  when compiling with wreport from version 3.28. (#241)

• Added alternative meson build system

v8.13

New in version 8.13

• Always ignore stations without contexts (#235)
• Improved documentation

• Fixed JSON datetime parser (#230)
• Fixed segmentation fault querying min and max datetimes in dballe.CursorSummarySummary (#232)

v8.11

New in version 8.11

v8.9

New in version 8.9

• Worked around an internal compiler error on Centos7
• Made Xapian support really optional
• Added dballe.Explorer examples to python HOWTO (#181)
• Creating an Explorer with a pathname makes it load/save from that file, which
  can be a JSON file if it ends with .json or no Xapian support is compiled
  in, otherwise Explorer will persist using an indexed Xapian database.
• Undo breaking changes to stable API on importers/exporters

v8.7

New in version 8.7

• Fixed the command line documentation of possible input types (#202)
• Restructured and tested documentation (#204, #205, #206)

v8.4

New in version 8.4

• Redesigned and unified all the documentation (https://arpa-simc.github.io/dballe/)
• B table updates
• Python API: allow other C python extensions to access dballe python objects
• Allow querying from python without specifying all the datetime min/max values
• Fixed querying longitude ranges from python
• Fixed reading unset query results from python
• Python API: fixed Message.query_station_data method

v8.1

New in version 8

• Added NEWS.md file
• Rationalised keyword usage in Fortran API. See Input/Output query parameters
  documentation for the updated reference.
• Added Message, Importer, Exporter, File, DB, Transaction, Cursor*, Data,
  Values to the C++ stable API
• Dropped support for Python 2
• Dropped support for unused AOF format
• Renamed fortran API functions with self-explanatory English names. The old
  names are kept as aliases for compatibility with existing/old Fortran code
• Implemented dbadb --varlist
• Python API changes:
  • Added dballe.Message
  • Added dballe.Importer
  • Added dballe.Exporter
  • Added dballe.File
  • Added dballe.Explorer
  • Removed dballe.Record in favour of using dict() for input, and using
    Cursor*.__getitem__ for output.
  • Renamed Cursor*.attr_query to Cursor*.query_attrs
  • Added Cursor*.insert_attrs
  • Added Cursor*.remove_attrs
  • Added Cursor*.remove()
  • Added DB.query_messages
  • DB or Transaction: .query_*: query argument is now optional, omit it to
    query everything
  • Added Cursor.query and Cursor.data
  • Allow to pass a Cursor instead of a dict to insert_data and
    insert_station_data, to efficiently copy data between databases.
  • Deprecated DB.insert_station_data, DB.insert_data,
    DB.remove_station_data, DB.remove_data, DB.query_stations,
    DB.query_station_data, DB.query_data, DB.query_summary,
    DB.query_messages, DB.attr_query_station, DB.attr_query_data,
    DB.attr_insert_station, DB.attr_insert_data, DB.attr_remove_station,
    DB.attr_remove_data.
    Use the same methods in dballe.Transaction instead.
• The use of ?wipe is now documented and supported
  in C++, Python, Fortran, and command line. The value of wipe is now parsed
  to prevent unexpectedly clearing a database when using something like
  ?wipe=no.
