v00-99

v00-99 (v01-00 pre-release)

This is a pre-release for the first stable release of podio. We consider the file format as well as stable and also consider the base functionality to be in place. All additional functionality should be implementable on top of the existing file format as well as existing features. We will make a few smaller fixes and remove still existing deprecated functionality before we release v01-00 in the next few weeks.

Changes wrt v00-17-04

• 2024-02-06 tmadlener (PR#554)

  • Bring back vector<Data> and vector<Component> into the dictionaries to allow for better interoperability with RNTuple.

• 2024-02-06 tmadlener (PR#549)

  • Rename {ROOT,SIO}Frame{Reader,Writer} to {ROOT,SIO}{Reader,Writer} since these names are now no longer taken by the deprecated EventStore based ones and Frame based I/O is the default now.
    • Keep the old names around as deprecated aliases to not break everything immediately. But plan to remove the aliases for v1.0.

• 2024-02-02 Mateusz Jakub Fila (PR#550)

  • Fixed typos in tests and interface template

• 2024-01-30 tmadlener (PR#548)

    • interfaces need to provide a list of types which they interface. Other types cannot be used with them.

• 2024-01-18 Mateusz Jakub Fila (PR#542)

  • Fixed typos in documentation and comments, updated .gitignore

• 2024-01-18 jmcarcell (PR#540)

• 2024-01-16 jmcarcell (PR#539)

  • Fix crash when a writer is in the global namespace by adding a class that will manage all the writers and finish them before exiting

• 2024-01-16 jmcarcell (PR#538)

v00-17-04

v00-17-04

• 2023-12-14 tmadlener (PR#527)

  • Split the ClassGenerator into a base class (mixin) and two specific c++ and julia code generators that only deal with their language specific needs.
    • Instantiate and configure the correct reader in the podio_class_generator.py main script depending on the desired language.
  • Slightly cleanup the MemberVariable to declutter its __init__ method a bit.

• 2023-12-13 tmadlener (PR#530)

• 2023-12-05 jmcarcell (PR#523)

  • Remove comment with file name and line number. It's very unlikely it remains up to date when either the name or the content of the files changes

• 2023-12-04 jmcarcell (PR#521)

  • Do not import ROOT when using podio-dump --help, otherwise it can take a while depending on the system only to print the help.

• 2023-12-04 tmadlener (PR#514)

  • Introduce the MaybeSharedPtr to manage the Obj* in the user facing handle classes.
    • This splits the control block and the managed object into two distinct entities with potentially different lifetimes, which allows to fix #174 and #492.
    • This increases the size of the user facing handle classes by a factor two, since they are now effectively two pointers instead of one, even if the control block will not be initialized in case a handle is obtained from a collection.
  • Remove the ObjBase base class and make the ObjectID a member of the Obj classes.
  • Make the user facing handle class constructors from an Obj* private as users will not have access to raw Obj* in any case.
    • Introduce a static makeEmpty method for the generated classes in order to create an empty handle, which is also used internally to handle unpersisted relations.
  • Enable more existing test cases in sanitizer workflows now that it has become possible to do so.

• 2023-12-04 Ananya Gupta (PR#473)

  • Added Julia code generation support in the existing Python interface.
  • Implemented a new design structure for generated Julia code.
  • Added default parameters in constructor definitions with support for Abstract types (for builtins).
  • Created _sort_components_and_datatypes function to perform topological sort on components and datatypes.
  • Created _has_static_arrays_import to check for the need of using Static Arrays in the generated julia code.
  • Added --lang (-l) programming language argument to specify the programming language for code generation, current choices: cpp and julia, default: cpp.
  • Added --upstream-edm code generation support for julia.
  • Added tests in the unit test suite, covering the Julia code generation of the example data models.
  • Added documentation for julia code generation.
  • Added ENABLE_JULIA toggle option. By default it is OFF.

• 2023-12-01 jmcarcell (PR#520)

  • Add an error message when there is an std::bad_function_call, which currently shows
    a stacktrace and is quite uninformative.

• 2023-12-01 tmadlener (PR#519)

  • Make generated member getter functions return by value for builtin types. Keep return by const reference for all other types. Fixes #518

• 2023-12-01 tmadlener (PR#488)

  • Add python bindings for the RNTuple reader and writer
  • Make podio-dump understand RNTuple based files
  • Fix missing storage of datamodel definitions for RNTuple based files

v00-17-03

v00-17-03

• 2023-11-14 tmadlener (PR#513)
  • Introduce checks in ROOTFrameWriter::writeFrame and ROOTNTupleWriter::writeFrame that ensure consistent contents for all Frames of a given category. If inconsistent contents are found an exception is thrown. Before these changes this might lead to a crash or to unreadable files. Fixes #382
  • Refactor ROOTNTupleWriter internals to have only one map that keeps track of categories instead of two maps and a set that need to be kept consistent.

v00-17-02

v00-17-02

• 2023-11-08 jmcarcell (PR#511)

  • Decouple generation tools and files from the rest of the podio python files by creating a new folder called podio_gen. This is a transparent change for users that only use the generator script.
    • This makes the configuration / generation times negligible again, because we don't load libraries unnecessarily any longer for the generation.
  • Simplify the python bindings (podio) __init__.py and remove the test_utils from it.
  • Move the tests for writing frames in python to the tests folder, where they belong and also test the SIO python writer.

• 2023-11-06 jmcarcell (PR#510)

  • Fix legacy tests; an extra argument was being passed and default in the .cpp file example_frame.root was being used which (almost) always exists (because there is a another test creating it) so it was hard to notice.

• 2023-11-06 jmcarcell (PR#509)

  • Add an option for using clang format and set it to off by default. It is significantly slower to run cmake with this option on.

• 2023-11-02 jmcarcell (PR#508)

  • Use the cmake ExternalData module to manage test data. This lets cmake take care of downloading the tests by hash so they can be version controlled. In addition, it's possible to set up a local store using -DExternalData_OBJECT_STORES=/path/to/store and it will download the test files there if they are not there but otherwise use them from there, so building from scratch won't download the test files again.

• 2023-10-16 jmcarcell (PR#507)

  • Copy .clang-format to the dumpmodel test directory and fix some tests when the build directory is not a subdirectory of the main directory. In some tests clang-format will try to find a .clang-format looking in the directories above and if it doesn't exist it will format files differently and some tests will fail.

v00-17-01

• 2023-10-12 tmadlener (PR#505)

  • Bump the pylint version for CI to 2.17.7

• 2023-10-11 tmadlener (PR#502)

  • Add a deleteBuffers function that is populated at generation time to the CollectionReadBuffers to make it possible to dispose of unconsumed buffers. This fixes the main leaks described in #500
  • Make the ROOTFrameData clean up all unconsumed buffers at desctruction.
  • Make sure to delete buffers that are no longer necessary in the CollectionData constructor. This fixes some more leaks described in #500

• 2023-10-08 Wouter Deconinck (PR#503)

  • Install podio-vis

• 2023-10-04 jmcarcell (PR#497)

  • Move podio_PYTHON_DIR to the top level CMakeLists so that it is set even when BUILD_TESTING is off

• 2023-10-02 jmcarcell (PR#496)

  • Add an operator != to fix negative comparisons since after #493 now id() returns a podioObjectID

• 2023-09-29 tmadlener (PR#493)

  • Make [Mutable]Object::id() return a podio::ObjectID instead of unsigned, since the latter has become useless with #412. Fixes #438
  • Add an operator<<(std::ostream&) for podio::ObjectID

v00-17

v00-17

Barring any unforeseen issues this will be the last pre-release series.

We plan to no longer change the file layouts, especially the default ROOT (TTree based) one. Please let us know if you have any issue that you would still like to be addressed before a version 1.0 release.

  • Allow to specify units as part of the datamodel definition

• 2023-07-26 tmadlener (PR#463)

  • Add a test that reproduces the original issue and is fixed by this.

• 2023-07-25 tmadlener (PR#461)

  • Make sure the ROOTFrameReader on the master branch can read v00-16-06 files

    • typeName: the full type name of the collection (returned also by getTypeName)
    • valueTypeName: the (immutable) type name of the objects of the collection (returned by getValueTypeName)
    • dataTypeName: the type name of the data PODs (returned by getDataTypeName)
  • Make unittest environment properly use PODIO_SIOBLOCK_PATH
  • USE_EXTERNAL_CATCH2 now can also be set to AUTO to look for a suitable version of Catch2 before falling back and fetching and building it's own version instead of a hard fail.
