v0.5.0

v0.5.0 - December 20, 2023

New User Features

• Added toggle for enabling users to deactivate deepcopying. This is done by passing an additional object on the ExecutionContext, eg. ExecutionContext(mode, additional_objs={'deepcopy_off': True})

New Submodules

• A collection of type annotations for encapsuling cadCAD projects is now implemented through the cadCAD.types submodules
• Added cadCAD.tools as a submodule, which is originated from the cadCAD_tools Python package. This submodule contains several helper functions for making the simulation experience more straightforward as well as a collection of performance profiling tools.
• Added cadCAD.diagram as a submodule, which is originated from the cadCAD_diagram Python package. This submodule contains functions for programatically generating block diagrams from existing models.
• More informative error messages when policies and SUFs are wrongly implemented. (Issues #288 and #258)

Backend Improvements

• Merged repo with the cadCAD_legacy_devel, which includes performance improvements. In particular, simulations will start up faster due to code optimizations.
• cadCAD now uses pytest as the testing framework. This was made possible by isolating the existing tests and wrapping them into functions.

Fixes

• cadCAD is now Python 3.10+ compatible (Issue #306 and #301)
• Proper support for ExecutionMode.single_mode (Issue #253 and #254)
