Historical Changes (lasp_packets
)
Changes documented in v3.0 and earlier correspond to development efforts undertaken before this library was
moved to GitHub (it was previously known as lasp_packets
).
None of the git history is available for these versions as the git history was truncated
in preparation for the move to Github to prevent accidental release of non-public example data which may be
(but probably isn’t) present in historical commits.
v3.0 (released publicly)
Add a discussion of optimization to the documentation
Change license to BSD3 and CU copyright
Add support for Python 3.10 and 3.11
Remove support for Python 3.6
Redesign the way the parser interprets the SequenceContainer inheritance structure
This allows polymorphic packet structures based on flags in telemetry
Previous functionality is preserved
csvdef module still uses the legacy flattened_containers representation
Add Parser.generator kwargs tdocs/source/index.rsto aid in debugging
Add kwarg to only parse CCSDS headers and skip the user data
Add optional progress bar that prints to stdout when parsing a packets file.
v2.1 (released publicly)
Update documentation on release process

Add link in readme to v1.2 Aug 2021 of XTCE spec
Add support for
< xtce:DiscreteLookupList >
Add support for
< xtce:Condition >
Add support for
< xtce:BooleanExpression >
Push the evaluation logic for ParameterTypes down to DataEncodings
Add option to skip an additional header on each packet
Modify RestrictionCriteria parser to evaluate MatchCriteria elements
Add word size as an optional parameter to the parser
Add an optional header name remapping parameter to the parser
Add support for BooleanExpression in a RestrictionCriteria element
v1.3 (released internally)
Expand version compatiblity for python >=3.6, <4
v1.2 (released internally)
Remove unnecessary warning about float data types being IEEE formatted.
Switch package manager to Poetry.
Add support for instantiating definitions with pathlib.Path objects.
v1.1.0 (released internally)
