Release History

- Removed the executable argument to Oct2Py in favor of using environment variables because we need to instantiate the octave convenience instance at startup.

4.3.0 (2019-05-02)

Add a plot_backend kwarg for eval and clean up default backend selection.

4.2.0 (2019-04-28)

Add support for Pandas DataFrames and Series (#125)
Remove unwanted octave-workspace files at exit (#133)

4.1.0 (2019-04-23)

Add a backend property to specify the graphics toolkit

4.0.5 (2017-04-08)

Fixed a thread safety bug when writing matlab files.

4.0.0 (2017-03-07)

Features

Added an feval method, which can be used to call Octave functions without creating a dynamic function. The function also supports calling a function by path.
The new feval method and the dynamic functions both now support a store_as argument, which saves the result of the call to the Octave workspace rather than returning it.
Added get_pointer method that can be used to retrieve a pointer to a value in the Octave namespace, including Octave functions. Pointers can be passed to feval or dynamic functions as function arguments. A pointer passed as a nested value will be passed by value instead.
Added an Oct2Py Cell ndarray subclass used for Octave cell arrays.
Added an Oct2PY StructArray numpy recarray subclass used for Octave structure arrays.
Added a stream_handler argument to eval and the new feval method that can be used to capture streaming output using a simple callback.

Breaking Changes

Removed inferred nout for Octave function calls; it must be explicitly given if not 1. The old behavior was too surprising and relied on internal logic of the CPython interpreter.
Any code that received Cell or Struct Array values will need to be updated.
Numpy booleans are now equivalent to Octave literals. They were previously handled as uint8 when sending to Octave.
Deprecated the use of keyword arguments to Octave function calls, use standard Octave calling conventions.
Deprecated the log and [return_both]{.title-ref} keyword arguments to eval(). See docs on Oct2Py.eval() for more information.
Oct2Py will no longer create dynamic functions for values that are not Octave functions - use [get_pointer]{.title-ref} or pull instead.

3.9.0 (2017-01-28)

Added support for Python 3.6 and Octave [input()]{.title-ref} functions.

3.8.0 (2016-12-25)

Added support for Octave class objects and clean up repr() and help() for dynamic Octave methods, (PR #104)

3.7.0 (2016-12-24)

Fixed error that caused the session to crash on Windows when Octave encountered a syntax error.
Added separate width and height specifiers to the [%%octave]{.title-ref} magic so the image can be constrained in one dimension while maintaining its aspect ratio.
Added an [extract_figures]{.title-ref} method to the [Oct2Py]{.title-ref} class which gives back a list of IPython Image or SVG objects for the created figures.
Completely rewrote the internal communication to Octave on top of the [octave_kernel]{.title-ref}, which enabled the Windows crash fix.
Removed the internal [_make_figs.m]{.title-ref} file, since that functionality is now in [octave_kernel]{.title-ref}.

3.6.1 (2016-11-20)

More plot creation cleanup - fault tolerance for svg files.

3.6.0 (2016-11-20)

Cleanup of plot creation - separate _make_figs.m file

3.0.0 (2015-01-10)

Suppress output in dynamic function calls (using ';')

2.4.2 (2014-12-19)

Add support for Octave 3.8 on Windows

2.4.1 (2014-10-22)

Prevent zombie octave processes.

2.4.0 (2014-09-27)

Make [eval]{.title-ref} output match Octave session output. If verbose=True, print all Octave output. Return the last "ans" from Octave, if available. If you need the response, use [return_both]{.title-ref} to get the [(resp, ans)]{.title-ref} pair back
As a result of the previous, Syntax Errors in Octave code will now result in a closed session on Windows.
Fix sizing of plots when in inline mode.
Numerous corner case bug fixes.

2.3.0 (2014-09-14)

Allow library to install without meeting explicit dependencies
Fix handling of cell magic with inline comments.

2.2.0 (2014-09-14)

Fix IPython notebook support in Ubuntu 14.04
Fix toggling of inline plotting

2.1.0 (2014-08-23)

Allow keyword arguments in functions: [octave.plot([1,2,3], linewidth=2))]{.title-ref} These are translated to ("prop", value) arguments to the function.
Add option to show plotting gui with [-g]{.title-ref} flag in OctaveMagic.
Add ability to specify the Octave executable as a keyword argument to the Oct2Py object.
- Add specifications for plot saving instead of displaying plots to [eval]{.title-ref} and dynamic functions.

2.0.0 (2014-08-14)

- Breaking changes

: -- Removed methods: [run]{.title-ref}, [call]{.title-ref}, [lookfor]{.title-ref} -- Renamed methods: [_eval]{.title-ref} -> [eval]{.title-ref}, [get]{.title-ref} -> [pull]{.title-ref}, [put]{.title-ref} -> [push]{.title-ref}, [close]{.title-ref} -> [exit]{.title-ref} -- Removed run and call in favor of using eval dynamic functions. -- Renamed methods to avoid overshadowing Octave builtins and for clarity. -- When a command results in "ans", the value of "ans" is returned instead of the printed string.
