Release Notes

Version 2.4.23 (March 2026)

Re-activated the --batch option.

If more than 1’000’000 elements are selected, baspl++ asks the user to confirm. This limit was previously 1000’000 elements.

The formatted user manual (html pages) are now distributed under sphinx/userman/userman.tgz.

Version 2.4.23 (February 2024)

Added a helper class ViewPolyline to display a user-defined polyline. See help(ViewPolyline).

The ViewLines (view user-defined lines) is deprecated. Please make use of ViewPolyline instead .

Version 2.4.22 (June 2022)

Added the ViewLines class to view user-defined lines in a model.

Version 2.4.21

Added --mesa option to baspl++ command line. Was there in earlier versions but did disappear. The mesa mode is highly recommended if running baspl++ in a container.

Added mesa target to make.

Version 2.4.20

The baspl++ desktop icon is located in <prefix>/share/applications/baspl++.desktop and can be copied to your desktop. Ubuntu example:

cp <prefix>/share/applications/baspl++.desktop $HOME/Desktop/baspl++.desktop

The utility class ViewPoints for viewing user-defined points has been added. Example of viewing a point a position (-1.0, 10., 0.0) for model model:

pts = ViewPoints(model)
pts.add((-1.0, 10., 0.0), color=(1.0, 0.0, 1.0), size=7., text='my point')

CentOS8 could not find MemCom libraries from Python2. Fixed.

CentOS8 could not find gtk python path. Fixed.

The build process has been updated (configure files for Python 2.7 and for batch mode).

Version 2.4.19

Version 2.4.14 (November 2017)

Support CSDA coordinates and fields.

Version 2.4.13 (october 2016)

Use new implementation for detecting coinciding nodes, because of memory run-away problems with b2aabb_intersection. The new implementation is faster (but not very fast), has a lower memory footprint, and seems more robust.
