Dear all, On behalf of the PyWavelets development team I'm excited to announce the availability of PyWavelets 0.3.0. This is the first release of the package in 3 years. It is the result of a significant effort of a growing development team to modernize the package, to provide Python 3.x support and to make a start with providing new features as well as improved performance. A 0.4.0 release will follow shortly, and will contain more significant new features as well as changes/deprecations to streamline the API.
This release requires Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.3-3.5 and Numpy 1.6.2 or greater. Sources and release notes can be found on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyWavelets and https://github.com/PyWavelets/pywt/releases. Activity on the project is picking up quickly. If you're interested in wavelets in Python, you are welcome and invited to join us at https://github.com/PyWavelets/pywt Enjoy, Ralf ============================== PyWavelets 0.3.0 Release Notes ============================== PyWavelets 0.3.0 is the first release of the package in 3 years. It is the result of a significant effort of a growing development team to modernize the package, to provide Python 3.x support and to make a start with providing new features as well as improved performance. A 0.4.0 release will follow shortly, and will contain more significant new features as well as changes/deprecations to streamline the API. This release requires Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.3-3.5 and NumPy 1.6.2 or greater. Highlights of this release include: - Support for Python 3.x (>=3.3) - Added a test suite (based on nose, coverage up to 61% so far) - Maintenance work: C style complying to the Numpy style guide, improved templating system, more complete docstrings, pep8/pyflakes compliance, and more. New features ============ Test suite ---------- The test suite can be run with ``nosetests pywt`` or with:: >>> import pywt >>> pywt.test() n-D Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform -------------------------------------- The function ``pywt.idwtn``, which provides n-dimensional inverse DWT, has been added. It complements ``idwt``, ``idwt2`` and ``dwtn``. Thresholding ------------ The function `pywt.threshold` has been added. It unifies the four thresholding functions that are still provided in the ``pywt.thresholding`` namespace. Backwards incompatible changes ============================== None in this release. Other changes ============= Development has moved to `a new repo <https://github.com/PyWavelets/pywt>`_. Everyone with an interest in wavelets is welcome to contribute! Building wheels, building with ``python setup.py develop`` and many other standard ways to build and install PyWavelets are supported now.
