============================= Announcing PyTables 3.0.0rc2 =============================
We are happy to announce PyTables 3.0.0rc2. PyTables 3.0.0rc2 comes after about 5 years from the last major release (2.0) and 7 months since the last stable release (2.4.0). This is new major release and an important milestone for the PyTables project since it provides the long waited support for Python 3.x, which has been around for 4 years. Almost all of the core numeric/scientific packages for Python already support Python 3 so we are very happy that now also PyTables can provide this important feature. Changes from 3.0rc1 to 3.0rc2 ============================= - The internal Blosc_ library has been upgraded to version 1.2.3. - All methods of the :class:`Table` class that take *start*, *stop* and *step* parameters (including :meth:`Table.read`, :meth:`Table.where`, :meth:`Table.iterrows`, etc) have been redesigned to have a consistent behaviour. The meaning of the *start*, *stop* and *step* and their default values now always work exactly like in the standard :class:`slice` objects. Closes :issue:`44` and :issue:`255`. - The :meth:`iterrows` method of :class:`*Array` and :class:`Table` as well as the :meth:`Table.itersorted` now behave like functions in the standard :mod:`itertools` module. If the *start* parameter is provided and *stop* is None then the array/table is iterated from *start* to the last line. In PyTables < 3.0 only one element was returned. - Fixed :issue:`119`, :issue:`230` and :issue:`232`, where an index on :class:`Time64Col` (only, :class:`Time32Col` was ok) hides the data on selection from a Tables. Thanks to Jeff Reback. - Fixed an issue of the :meth:`Table.itersorted` with reverse iteration (closes :issue:`252` and :issue:`253`). -- Antonio Valentino ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
