Change Log

All notable changes are kept in this file. All changes made should be added to the section called Unreleased. Once a new release is made this file will be updated to create a new Unreleased section for the next release.

For more information about this file see also Keep a Changelog .

[Unreleased]

Fixed

  • Invalid .zenodo.json that broke automatic archiving on Zenodo (b56ef53)
  • Fixed a filehandle leak in multi-year runs of PEcAn.BIOCRO::met2model.BIOCRO: It was only closing the last input file it processed (#2485).
  • Fix issue with cruncep download: use netcdf subset (ncss) method instead of opendap (#2424).
  • The parse option to PEcAn.utils::read_web_config had no effect when expand was TRUE (#2421).
  • Fixed a typo that made PEcAn.DB::symmetric_setdiff falsely report no differences (#2428).
  • sipnet2netcdf will now only extract the data for the year requested (#2187)
  • Fixed Priors vignette (#2439).
  • When building sipnet model would not set correct model version

Changed

  • PEcAn.priors: renamed functions that looked like S3 methods but were not: plot.posterior.density->plot_posterior.density, plot.prior.density->plot_prior.density, plot.trait->plot_trait (#2439).
  • Stricter package checking: make check and CI builds will now fail if R CMD check returns any ERRORs or any "newly-added" WARNINGs or NOTEs. "Newly-added" is determined by strict string comparison against a check result saved 2019-09-03; messages that exist in the reference result do not break the build but will be fixed as time allows in future refactorings (#2404).
  • No longer writing an arbitrary num for each PFT, this was breaking ED runs potentially.
  • The pecan/data container has no longer hardcoded path for postgres

Added

  • BASGRA_N model basic coupling.
  • PEcAn.priors now exports functions priorfig and plot_densities (#2439).
  • Models monitoring container for Docker now shows a webpage with models it has seen
  • Added small container to check if certain services are up, used as initi container for kubernetes

[1.7.1] - 2018-09-12

Fixed

  • Replace deprecated rlang::UQ syntax with the recommended !!
  • Explicitly use PEcAn.uncertainty::read.ensemble.output in PEcAn.utils::get.results. Otherwise, it would sometimes use the deprecated PEcAn.utils::read.ensemble.output version.
  • PEcAn.ED2::met2model.ED2 now skips processing of years for which all output files are already present (unless overwrite = TRUE). This prevents a lot of unnecessary work when extending an existing ED met record.
  • Fixed issue that prevented modellauncher from working properly #2262
  • Use explicit namespacing (package::function) throughout PEcAn.meta.analysis. Otherwise, many of these functions would fail when trying to run a meta-analysis outside of the PEcAn workflow (i.e. without having loaded the packages first) (#2351).
  • Standardize how PEcAn.DB tests create database connections, and make sure tests work with both the newer Postgres and older PostgreSQL drivers (#2351).
  • Meta-analysis = "AUTO" now correctly skips the meta analysis if the PFT definition has not changed (#1217).
  • Replace deprecated rlang::UQ syntax with the recommended !!
  • Explicitly use PEcAn.uncertainty::read.ensemble.output in PEcAn.utils::get.results. Otherwise, it would sometimes use the deprecated PEcAn.utils::read.ensemble.output version.
  • History page would not pass the hostname parameter when showing a running workflow, this would result in the running page showing an error.

Changed

  • Updated modules/rtm PROSPECT docs
  • Updated models/sipnet/R/model2netcdf.SIPNET.R to address issues in PR #2254
  • Improved testing (#2281). Automatic Travis CI builds of PEcAn on are now run using three versions of R in parallel. This should mean fewer issues with new releases and better backwards compatibility, but note that we still only guarantee full compatibility with the current release version of R. The tested versions are:
    • release, the current public release of R (currently R 3.5). Build failures in this version are fixed before merging the change that caused them. When we say PEcAn is fully tested and working, this is the build we mean.
    • devel, the newest available development build of R. We will fix issues with this version before the next major R release.
    • oldrel, the previous major release of R (currently R 3.4). We will fix issues with this version as time allows, but we do not guarantee that it will stay compatible.
  • Reverting back from PR (#2137) to fix issues with MAAT wrappers.
  • Moved docker files for models into model specific folder, for example Dockerfile for sipnet now is in models/sipnet/Dockerfile.
  • PEcAn.utils:
    • Remove, or make "Suggests", a bunch of relatively underutilized R package dependencies.
  • Add template for documentation issues and add button to edit book.
  • Conditionally skip unit tests for downloading raw met data or querying the database when the required remote connection is not available.
  • Reorganization of docker folder
    • All dockerfiles now live in their own folder
    • scripts/generate_dependencies.R is now used to generate dependencies for make and docker
  • In PEcAn.DB::get.trait.data, if trait.names is NULL or missing, use the traits for which at least one prior is available among the input list of PFTs. (Previously, we were getting this from the PEcAn.utils::trait.dictionary, which we are trying to deprecate #1747). (#2351)
  • Cleanup and improve logging and code readability in parts of PEcAn.DB related to getting trait data, including replacing many manual database queries with dplyr calls.
  • Reorganization of PEcAn documentation in accordance with isue #2253.
  • SIPNET now is installed from the source code managed in git

Added

  • Meta analysis functionality to not use greenhouse data.
  • Dockerize the BioCro model.
  • Added PRO4SAIL-D model, using existing 4SAIL src and coupling with PROSPECT-D Fortran code
  • Models will not advertise themselvs, so no need to register them a-priori with the database #2158
  • Added simple Docker container to show all containers that are available (http://localhost:8000/monitor/). This will also take care of registering the models with the BETY database.
  • Added unit tests for met2model.<MODEL> functions for most models.
  • Added MAESPA model to docker build
  • PEcAn has more robust support for RPostgres::Postgres backend. The backend is officially supported by db.query, and basic workflows run top-to-bottom with the Postgres backend. However, RPostgreSQL is still the default until we do more robust testing of all modules.
  • PEcAn.DB::db.query now optionally supports prepared statements (#395).
  • New function PEcAn.DB::query_priors that expands the functionality of query.priors by (1) accepting PFTs by name or ID and (2) allowing the user to request all possible combinations of the input PFTs and traits (i.e. expand.grid(pfts, traits)) or just the pairwise combinations (i.e. pft[1]-trait[1], pft[2]-trait[2]). This function also comes with more robust error handling and a set of unit tests (#2351).
  • New function PEcAn.DB::query_pfts for finding PFT IDs and types from the PFT name and (optionally) model type (#2351).
  • Run Travis integration tests with both Postgres and PostgreSQL drivers (#2351).
  • New function PEcAn.utils::load_local reads Rdata files into a named list (instead of into the current environment).

Removed

  • Removed unused function PEcAn.visualization::points2county, thus removing many indirect dependencies by no longer importing the earth package.
  • Removed package PEcAn.data.mining from the Make build. It can still be installed directly from R if desired, but is skipped by default because it is in early development, does not yet export any functions, and creates a dependency on the (large, often annoying to install) ImageMagick library.
  • Fully deprecate support for MySQL database driver. Now, only PostgreSQL (and, experimentally, RPostgres) are supported. With this, remove RMySQL dependency in several places.

[1.7.0] - 2018-12-09

Fixes

  • Fixed minor bug in query.trait.data related to stem respiration covariates (PecanProject#2269)
  • Removed google maps and replaced with leaflet #2105
  • Added ability to add a new site from web interface
  • Small updated to models/ed/R/model2netcdf.ED2.R to fix issue realted to writing the time_bounds time attribute. Needed to add a check for which file types exitst (e.g. -E-, -T-, etc) and only write the appropriate attribute(s).
  • Fixed error in read_web_config which would filter out all variables.
  • Docker:
    • Make sure web interface posts RabbitMQ messages even after editing files (fixes #2151)
    • Can specify name of docker cluster using PECAN_FQDN and PECAN_NAME (fixes #2128)
    • Fixed issue where setting username/password for rabbitmq would break web submit (fixes #2185)
    • data image only registers sipnet and ed, has all data pre-downloaded
  • ED2:
    • Fix processing of ed2in_tags from XML. Now numbers (e.g. <TRAIT_PLASTICITY_SCHEME>0</TRAIT_PLASTICITY_SCHEME>) and numeric vectors (e.g. <INCLUDE_THESE_PFT>9,10,11,12</INCLUDE_THESE_PFT>) are correctly written to ED2IN without quotes.

Added

  • NEW FEATURE: PEcAn R API (PR #2192). Features include:
    • Modified docker/receiver.py to accept a pecan_json object containing a JSON version of the PEcAn settings. Can now Use RabbitMQ HTTP API (called from R with httr) to send a settings list (function submit_workflow)
    • Helper functions to make it easier to build the settings object, and to register a new workflow.
    • Helper functions for tracking workflow status
    • Helper functions for accessing workflow output files through THREDDS. All files are accessible through fileServer (basically, direct download), and NetCDF files are also readable through OpenDAP.
      • THREDDS catalog filter has been removed, so that all workflow outputs are available to THREDDS.
      • Added another datasetScan to the THREDDS catalog to search for dbfiles. Now, model inputs (e.g. meteorology files) are accessible via THREDDS as well.
  • Lots of new documentation for running PEcAn using Docker
  • Added Docker container with documentation #2160
  • Download method (method) argument for data.atmosphere::download.CRUNCEP, which defaults to opendap (as it was), but can be switched to the slower but more robust NetCDF subset (ncss).
  • In download.CRUNCEP, check target coordinate against the land-sea mask. If sea, pick the nearest land pixel within 1 degree of target. This facilitates doing runs at coastal sites that may get masked out.
  • Added a prototype of the THREDDS data server (TDS) to the PEcAn Docker stack.
  • Added portainer to the PEcAn Docker stack to easily look at running containers.
  • Added ability to specify short name for a host (hostlist->displayname)
  • Added PEcAn.logger::print2string function -- capture the output
  • Cleanup and enhancements to PEcAn.utils::read.output:
    • Pass variables = NULL to try to read all variables from file
    • New argument ncfiles for passing file names explicitly (useful for remote file access where list.files doesn't work; e.g. THREDDS)
    • Variable summary stats are only calculated if new argument print_summary is TRUE (default). Summary is rendered nicely as a variable x statistic matrix.
    • New argument verbose (default = FALSE) to print out (logger.debug) at every variable and year
    • Minor code cleanup for style (spacing, long lines, etc.) and logic (replace several else statements with early returns)
  • ED2:
    • Add ability to pass arbitrary arguments to the ED binary through the pecan.xml (#2183; fixes #2146).
    • Add new model tag <all_pfts>. If "false" (default), set ED2IN's INCLUDE_THESE_PFT to only PFTs explicitly configured through PEcAn. If "true", use all 17 of ED2's PFTs.
    • Add new model tag <barebones_ed2in>. If "true", only write ED2IN tags, and do not include comment annotations. If "false" (default), try to transfer comments from ED2IN template to target ED2IN. Because of comments are written by matching line numbers, leaving this as "false" can lead to unexpected results whenever <ed2in_tags> contains tags missing from the ED2IN template.
    • Add some additional documentation for ED2 pecan.xml tags.

Removed

Changed

  • Updated MAAT model model2netcdf.MAAT.R to reflect general changes to the netCDF time variable in PEcAn standard output. Added time_bounds attribute and variable. Updated inst/ scripts for created MAAT drivers from NGEE-Tropics met sources (WIP)
  • PEcAn.utils::do_conversions has been moved to PEcAn.workflow::do_conversions. PEcAn.utils::do_conversions still works for now with a warning, but is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
  • Docker:
    • Change base image for R code from r-base to rocker/tidyverse:3.5.1. This (1) saves build time (because many R packages and system dependencies are pre-installed), and (2) enhances reproducibility (because of the strict versioning rules of the rocker packages)
    • Re-factor web interface RabbitMQ create connections and post messages into their own PHP functions.

[1.6.0] - 2018-09-01

Fixes

  • Updated model2netcdf.SIPNET() to address issue #2094. Revised netCDF time to be from 0-364./365. (if leap) so time would be properly parsed by R and python (cf tools)
  • Fixed output time variable in models/ed/R/model2netcdf.ED2.R to provide correct fractional DOY
  • Running tests for PEcAn.settings package no longer leaves empty temp directories in test folder (#2075)
  • Fixed issue #2064 which sends one met path to write.sa.config.
  • PEcAn.data.land::soil_params now accepts any 2 out of 3 texture components as documented, and correctly converts percentages to proportion (#2043).
  • Added missing ncdf4 library calls in model2netcdf.JULES

Added

  • Added download.LandTrendr.AGB and extract.LandTrendr.AGB functions in modules/data.remote
  • Added new time_bounds variable in SIPNET output netCDF files to define the exact start time and end time for each model timestep.
  • Updated models/ed/R/model2netcdf.ED2.R to include new time_bounds variable
  • Added a first vignette to models/maat with the plan to add more examples
  • Added scaling to documentation

Removed

  • Removed unused PEcAn.utils::counter(), which existed to increment a global variable that is also unused.

Changed

  • Updated models/fates/R/model2netcdf.FATES.R to increase supported model outputs. Added longname to nc file variables
  • Updated models/dalec/R/model2netcdf.DALEC.R to add time_bounds variable
  • Updated models/maat/R/write.config.MAAT.R to improve flow, remove bugs, and to work with the release version of the MAAT model.
  • Minor update to modules/data.atmosphere/R/met2CF.csv.R to include recursive=TRUE for outfolder. Seemed to work better
  • Updated models/maat/R/met2model.MAAT.R to include additional output variables, fix a bug, and conduct overall cleanup. Updated docs
  • Updated models/maat/R/model2netcdf.MAAT.R to work with the release version of the MAAT model. Other small MAAT wrapper code cleanup
  • Small change to modules/data.atmosphere/R/download.NARR_site.R to set parallel=TRUE to match documentation and sub-function calls

[1.6.0] - Not yet

Fixes

  • Fixed issue #1939 which corrects output time vector for FATES output

  • Update to read.output to look for and read only PEcAn formatted .nc output based on the pecan standard filename format of YYYY.nc. Solves issues with models such as FATES and dvm-dos-tem where the original model output is also in .nc file format and was not ignored by read.output, causing errors with output parsing and plotting with Shiny. Removed deprecated function convert.outputs

  • PEcAn.data.atmosphere:

    • download.Geostreams is pickier about formatting start/end datess, for fewer surprises in result timestamps
    • Fixed swapped lat/lon in met2CF.Geostreams
    • download.GFDL now records reference date in time units field, as required by the CF met standard
    • Reduced download.GFDL network load by not preloading dimension data
    • Fixed spurious No geonamesUsername set warning by updating geonames package to development version

  • ED:

    • Change all history parameter files to have zero storage respiration

  • missing_port_bety

  • dataone_download.R:

    • Added functionality that spoofs our user address to prevent authentication errors with downloading files via wget.

  • Could not specify the port for BETY in config.php. Can now use db_bety_port to specify port.

    • Added functionality that spoofs our user address to prevent authentication errors with downloading files via wget.

  • Data_Ingest_App:

    • use updateSelectizeInput to populate selectizeInput with choices from BETYdb. This instantly loads the inputfields where other methods take minutes to load.

Added

  • sda.enkf function inside the PEcAn.assim.sequential package was replaced with the refactored version, while the original sda function can be found in the same package with the name of sda.enkf.original.

  • PEcAn.undertainty gains one new function (input.ens.gen) and three functions moved from PEcAn.utils (see "Changed" below)

  • IC workflow now has functionality to generate ensembles.

  • You can now generate ensembles for parameters and met separatly and using different methods.

  • Soil process is now capable of reading in soil data from gSSURGO databse.

  • In modules/rtm new function foursail() to interface with the 4SAIL Fortran code. To enable the use of 4SAIL with any version of PROSPECT (i.e. 4, 5, 5b, D) and custom soil/background reflectance inputs

  • Shiny/Dependency explorer

  • Explore the interdependencies between pecan packages/functions.

  • From history you can now select an old run and show the curl command to re-execute this run. This only works with runs submitted through web interface right now.

  • Experimental support for docker (#1028)

  • dataone_download.R:

    • Added progress messages to indicate that the function is working during longer downloads via PEcAn logger.
    • Store path to downloaded data as newdir_D1 so that the download app can call this path.

  • shiny/Data-Ingest

    • Download data from DataONE to a temporary directory, display the contents of that directory, and then move files from the temporary directory to dbfiles
    • Upload files from local machines (via drag and drop on some browsers), display files, and then move these files to a directory in dbfiles.
    • Spinner displays when class "shiny-busy" is invoked during the dataONE download process. In this way, users can be sure that the app is live and is processing their request.
    • Users can now input the name of the destination directory that they wish to create within dbfiles.
    • Updated Travis.yml to include librdf0-dev so that it can download redland, datapack, and dataone.
    • Added Data-Ingest UI (inputs, dbfiles, and formats record UI and some basic server side functionality are online)
    • Modularized input record, format record, and dbfiles record into shiny modules. This allows the app to be greatly simplified to two, single-page workflows. These functions can also be used "plug-and-play" style elsewhere in PEcAn shiny apps to load in data.
    • Replaced modularized input, format and dbfiles records with static "Ingest Workflow" page. On this page, the user can select either importing from dataONE or Uploading from local files. If creating a new format is necessary, the user can click "Create New Format" and a dropdown menu will walk them through this process.
    • Selected files now autofill name value in input record workflow
    • Store inputs and formats in the global environment
    • "Test BETY" button allows users create a record in BETY with dbfile.input.insert
    • Added input.format.vars to query the BETYdb
    • New File: helper.R
    • New Function: auto.name.directory This function uses the format_name and the site_id for a given input to create a directory name in the style of other dbfiles names.
    • Next Step buttons progress workflow programmatically
    • New formats-variables UI allows user to create a table of formats-variable records before completing the ingest process
    • Two separate complete Ingest buttons are rendered at the end of the workflow to trigger actions specific to local upload or dataONE download workflows. These buttons are rendered programmatically depending on the state of the selectInputMethod radio button.
    • Converted time inputs to properly merge startDate and startTime with EndDate and EndTime so they can be inserted into the start_date and end_date columns in BETYdb.
    • Error handling introduced using shinytoastr package
    • DESCRIPTION: Depends: PEcAn.visualization, shinytoastr, shinyWidgets, shinyjs

  • pecan/base/db

    • New File: input.format.vars.R. This function registers the format and the (optional) formats_variables record using db_merge_into.

  • data.atmosphere

    • check_met_input_file -- Check that target met file conforms to PEcAn meteorology data standard.
    • get_cf_variables_table -- Retrieve CF variables table as a data.frame

  • docker:

    • Added updated docker container builds
      • Use docker.sh to create docker images
      • Use release.sh to push released images to push to docker registry (hub.docker.com by default)
    • Create pecan/depends docker image that holds all PEcAn dependencies
      • Needs to build seperatly, not part of the docker.sh build process to speed things up
      • Build using (cd docker ; docker build -t pecan/depends:latest -f Dockerfile.depends .)
    • docker-compose.yml file to bring up full PEcAn stack using docker
      • First time to start requires to install BETY database (see documentation)
    • SIPNET docker image which works with PEcAn docker stack
    • Data container that will download and install demo data in /data folder

Removed

  • pecan.worldmap function no longer used, dropped from visualization package
  • shiny/Data-Ingest/DESCRIPTION no longer DEPENDS on shinyFiles or shinycssloaders

Changed

  • PEcAn.utils functions run.write.configs and runModule.run.write.configs have been moved to PEcAn.workflow. The versions in PEcAn.utils are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • Fixed Git instructions and remote execution instructions.
  • Five functions from PEcAn.utils functions have been moved to other packages. The versions in PEcAn.utils are deprecated, will not be updated with any new features, and will be removed in a future release.
    • run.write.configs and runModule.run.write.configs have been moved to PEcAn.workflow
    • read.ensemble.output, get.ensemble.samples and write.ensemble.configs have been moved to PEcAn.uncertainty
  • Change the way packages are checked for and called in SHINY apps. DESCRIPTION files in SHINY apps are not the place to declare pacakge dpendencies.

[1.5.3] - 2018-05-15

Fixes

  • read.output now accepts date-times for start.year and end.year argument (#1887)
  • read.output no longer assumes timestamps are in days since the beginning of the year
  • Fixed xss issue in setup folder, now require users to login before accessing the setup folder scripts.
  • Fixed issue where in website not all sites are shown #1884
  • Fixed status page, should now be run from cronjob, creates static page
  • Fixed bug that overwrote remote met file paths with local file paths
  • PEcAnRTM:
    • Remove non-portable extensions from src/Makevars. This should make the package Windows-compatible.
  • Fixed BrownDog shiny issues of removing site without geometry; fixing sites.length==0; removing old map markers when change input$type; fixing agreement bug when change input$type

Added

  • Functionality to read pft-specific outputs and to run sensitivity analysis on pft-specific outputs.
  • Ability to allow for insecure sync using -k flag
  • Added information on how to join slack
  • PEcAn.BIOCRO now supports BioCro version 1.0. BioCro 0.9x models should still work as before, but note parameter and weather format changes in the Changed section below.
  • Added new model package (PEcAn.dvmdostem) and initial wrappers for integration of the DVM-DOS-TEM model and tested.
  • PEcAn now supports PFTs whose members are cultivars rather than species, and will automatically restrict the meta-analysis to matching records, e.g. runs with a PFT containing only Panicum virgatum 'Cave-In-Rock' will not use observations from Panicum virgatum 'Alamo', but a PFT containing the whole species will use observations from both. However, there is not yet any BETYdb interface to create cultivar-PFTs other than manual SQL.
  • New base package PEcAn.workflow, for functions used to perform the each major step of the analysis. These were previously scattered in other base packages.
  • Added PR review time estimate to PR template
  • New set of PEcAn.logger functions similar to stopifnot to facilitate assertive programming: severeifnot, errorifnot, warnifnot, infoifnot, debugifnot
  • PEcAnRTM:
    • Exposed PROSPECT absorption coefficients and gpm() function ("generalized plate model"), facilitating experimentation with different absorption coefficients
    • Added spectra S3 class and methods for subsetting (e.g. myspec[[400:700]]), plotting (plot() and matplot()), and combining spectra by wavelength.
    • Added resample functions for quickly resampling spectra (and, more generally, vectors and functions) to different dimensions.
    • EDR API has been revised. Setup has been refactored from EDR via new setup_edr function, which relies on the ED utilities (see PEcAn.ED2 below), and the EDR function now focuses only on execution. Also, added new params2edr function to make it easy to convert complex EDR parameters list to flat parameter vector required by invert_bt (or other optimization functions).
  • PEcAn.ED2:
    • New set of utilities for working with ED meteorology and vegetation inputs, and the ED2IN file. Existing PEcAn code has been revised to use these utilities.
  • PEcAn.data.atmosphere:
    • New utilities for efficiently downloading NARR time series using THREDDS/OpenDAP

Removed

  • Removed deprecated copies of PEcAn.utils::SafeList, PEcAn.utils::listToXml (both moved to PEcAn.settings in v 1.5.2), and PEcAn.utils::fqdn (moved to PEcAn.remote in 1.5.2). This fixes the masses of deprecation warnings in otherwise normal run logs (#1719).

Changed

  • Updated wrappers for FATES model to work with recent CLM5 release. Updated write.config, job.template, and other associated files to work with CLM5 inputs and met drivers
  • Updated model2netcdf.MAAT to use ncdf4::ncvar_def to define netCDF variables
  • Fixed an remote code execution discovered by NCSA security team.
  • Column name changes for newly generated biocromet csvs: SolarR is now solar and WS is now windspeed. Previously generated met files with the old names will still work for BioCro 0.9 runs, but will need to be renamed before using them with BioCro 1.0.
  • write.configs.BIOCRO now requires a model version specification so that it can format parameters to match your version of BioCro. Set it in your Bety model record or in the model$revision field of your pecan.xml.
  • When using BioCro 1.0 and no parameter file is given, PEcAn will make an attempt to find default parameters for your genus in the datasets provided by the BioCro package. Note that the default parameter files provided in models/biocro/inst/extdata/defaults will not work when using BioCro 1.0.
  • Added documentation how to submit a run from the command line
  • Updated models/maat to provide support for latest model code updates
  • PEcAn.DB function rename.jags.columns renamed to rename_jags_columns to avoid conflict with S3 method naming conventions
  • Replaced rhdf5 library with hdf5r, a more modern alternative that is available on CRAN.
  • PEcAn.DB function runModule.get.trait.data has been moved to the new PEcAn.workflow package to avoid a circular package dependency between PEcAn.DB and PEcAn.settings.
  • Major documentation refactoring. The documentation names are now directly tied to the order in which they are rendered, and all Rmd files in all subdirectories of the documentation source are rendered by default. The overall structure of the documentation has been revised for clarity and cohesiveness.
  • Edited met2model.ED2 to not enforce leap years.
  • Integrate demo 1 into basic user guide

[1.5.2] - 2017-12-07

Fixes

  • Updated models/ed/data/pftmapping.csv to include two new BETYdb PFTs
  • Simple fix to models/ed/R/write.configs.ed.R to properly align pss and css file prefix
  • Fixed issue #1752 by updating the site.lst() function to include site.id=site$id instead of site.id=site, as site is an object not just the id
  • Update to PEcAn.ED2::met2model.ED2 to fix issue with rhdf5::h5write. Bug fix to #1742
  • Fixed write.config.xml.ED2 parsing of data/history* files
  • PEcAn.utils now lazy-loads data for faster execution of functions that consult lookup tables, especially to_ncvar.
  • Fixed incorrect PEcAn.BIOCRO daily and yearly results: Was calculating every row from whole simulation instead of that day (#1738)

Added

  • New Dockerfile to create PEcAn specific container for SIPNET.

Removed

  • Removed PEcAn.utils::model2netcdf, which has been deprecated since PEcAn 1.3.7. Use model2netcdf.<YOURMODEL> in the appropriate model package instead.

Changed

  • Major namespace cleanup in the PEcAn.utils package. It now loads more quietly and is much less likely to mask functions in a package you loaded earlier.
  • Moved many functions from PEcAn.utils into other PEcAn packages. The PEcAn.utils versions still work with a deprecation warning, but will be removed in next release.
    • listToXml and SafeList moved to PEcAn.settings
    • fqdn moved to PEcAn.remote
  • PEcAnRTM: Removed effective sample size normalization from likelihood calculation. It was giving weird results.

[1.5.1] - 2017-10-05

Fixes

  • Fixed hyperparameter draws in PDA
  • Show workflowid in the URL when run is finshed and user clicks results (#1659)
  • PEcAn.BIOCRO now uses PEcAn-standard variable names. As a result, two output variables have been renamed but keep their existing units and definitions:
    • StemBiom renamed to AbvGrndWood
    • RootBiom renamed to root_carbon_content
  • Improved make install logic (#1558)
  • Fixed remote code execution #1545
  • Added check for NA end/start year in read.output
  • Fixed jagify bug for raw field data
  • Fixed bug (order of dims in nc_create) introduced in model2netcdf.DALEC by standard_vars changes
  • Cleaned up NAMESPACE and source code of PEcAn.DB (#1520)
  • Debugged python script in call_MODIS in data.remote to allow MODIS downloads
  • Fixed FATES build script to work on ubuntu SIPNET output netcdf now includes LAI; some variable names changed to match standard
  • Cleanup of leap year logic, using new PEcAn.utils::days_in_year(year) function (#801).
  • Replace many hard-coded unit conversions with udunits2::ud.convert for consistency, readability, and clarity
  • Refactored extract_soil_nc to create soil2netcdf, which will write soil data out in PEcAn standard.
  • Added a new retry.func() to base/utils to provide ability to re-try a function X times before stopping. Currently using this function in the download.CRUNCEP() function to handle slow responses from THREDDS.
  • Reformatted call_MODIS netcdf output to reflect the orientation of the MODIS grid
  • Remote execution is more robust to errors in the submission process, not just the actual model execution
  • PRELES model run script bug fix

Added

  • Functionality to pass hyperparameters via settings
  • Created new (and very rudimentary) web interface for downloading data from the dataone federation into the PEcAn database. More updates to come.
  • Expanded initial conditions workflow for pool-based models, including PEcAn.data.land::prepare_pools to calculate pools from IC file (to be coupled with write.configs)
  • New PEcAn.utils::days_in_year(year) function that should make it easier to work with leap years.
  • New PEcAn.data.atmosphere::solar_angle function that replaces math that occurs in some models.
  • New PEcAn.benchmarking::align_pft fucntion that aligns data assosiated with two different plant functional types
  • #1594 shiny/workflowPlot Adding interactiveness using ggploltly
  • #1594 shiny/workflowPlot Load outputs from multiple runs of the model
  • #1594 shiny/workflowPlot Ways to toggle geometries (e.g. geom_point vs. geom_line).
  • #1594 shiny/workflowPlot Smoothing using geom_smooth (Slider for specifying moving window width)
  • #1594 shiny/workflowPlot Comparing model output vs loaded data according to tutorial
  • Allow SIPNET and DALEC met files and model2netcdf to start or end mid year
  • A Pre-release database clean up script that deletes unused/unassosiated entries from the database

Changed

  • Clean up directory structure:
    • Move base packages (utils, settings, db, visualizaton) to a base directory, for consistency with modules and models
    • Move logger.* functions out of the PEcAn.utils package and into the PEcAn.logger package
    • Move remote functions out of the PEcAn.utils package and into their own PEcAn.remote package.
  • #1594 shiny/workflowPlot Refactoring of code. get_workflow_ids in db/R/query.dplyr.R changed with ensemble = FALSE. Also allowing to load all workflow IDs. load_data_single_run and var_names_all also moved from shiny/workflowPlot/server.R to query.dplyr.R
  • PEcAn.remote::start.model.runs has been significantly refactored to be less redundant and more robust
  • betyConnect function in query.dplyr.R is now refactored into read_web_config so that the the Data-Ingest app can leverage read_web_config and provide it with a machine specific filepath for .../dbfiles
  • Rpreles and Maeswrap package moved to suggest checked for within package function.
