Version 0.5.5

What's new?

This version adds type checks when saving Photon-HDF5 files as described in this Pull Request.

Version 0.5.4

In this version a few fields have been renamed and a few were added:

• acquisition_time -> acquisition_duration
• comment -> description
• funding (new field)
• license (new field)

Additionally:

• The notebook to convert files have been updated to be easier to follow for users new to Jupyter.
• The default URL saved in the file is now http://photon-hdf5.org

Version 0.5.3

What's new?

• Still one forgotten rename (e05873a)

Version 0.5.2

What's new?

• Finish renaming some fields forgotten in the previous release (bd4032d).

Version 0.5.1

What's new

Some fields were renamed, namely:

• laser_pulse_rate -> laser_repetition_rate
• alex_period_excitationN -> alex_excitation_periodN

Also, always save binary ASCII strings (instead of unicode strings) to maximize file compatibility.

Version 0.4.8

What's new?

When saving Photon-HDF5 files with phconvert, the fields in detectors_specs are now casted to be the same type as detectors array.

This change does not affect users reading Photon-HDF5 files in Python and MATLAB, but it may simplify the life (and potentially remove a source of confusion) for users using strongly typed languages.
