Release Notes#
0.54.1 / 2024-04-12#
This is a minor fix-up release that fixes a few issues from the v0.54 release.
0.54 / 2024-04-09#
Two big features of this release is client-side caching (including views) and the ability to download more of records. As part of this, fetching lots of records from a server will automatically scale to keep a relatively constant request time, rather than use a fixed batch size.
Client-side caching is relatively functional, but this was a major change, so feel free to report issues as always.
In addition, there is some of the usual cleanup.
0.53 / 2024-01-09#
The only real thing to report is fixing of molecules returned from the server. Other than that, a little bit of cleanup in preparation for implementing new features in the future No breaking changes. Upgrading qcportal is recommended, but is not required.
Notable pull requests and features:
(PR 798) Mark molecules coming from the server as already validated, and remove fix_com and fix_orientation from the database.
