This is a snapshot and major release of FluxEngine version 4. New to version 4 is a move to installing FluxEngine using from PyPi using pip install fluxengine. The most up-to-date version will be available using this method. Alternatively you can download/clone the "fe_v4" branch from this repository.
New features:
- Updated to use Python 3
- Vastly simplified installation process for all platforms. Simply run (
pip install fluxengine) to install the latest version from PyPi and import it as you would any other Python module. As with all things, using a virtual environment is recommended to avoid clashes with other software. - Simpler workflow: command-line tools are automatically added to your virtual environment's path so they can be accessed from any location (e.g. run
fe_tutorials.pyfrom any directory to open the interactive tutorials). - Cleaner configuration files, obsolete options removed, others can be omitted if they are inferred from other parameters. New utility
fe_update_config.pywill convert old configuration files to the updated format. - Jupyter notebook tutorials and documentation updated for FluxEngine v4.
- fCO2 reanalysis tool updated to add easy support for SOCAT v2020.
- More descriptive metadata in output files (e.g. correct gas names)
- Various bug fixes.
