• 2023-12-14 tmadlener (PR#527)

  • Split the ClassGenerator into a base class (mixin) and two specific c++ and julia code generators that only deal with their language specific needs.
    • Instantiate and configure the correct reader in the podio_class_generator.py main script depending on the desired language.
  • Slightly cleanup the MemberVariable to declutter its __init__ method a bit.

• 2023-12-13 tmadlener (PR#530)

  • Remove the reading of the deprecated old-style format of component definitions in the YAML files.

• 2023-12-13 tmadlener (PR#485)

  • Remove the deprecated EventStore functionality as announced in #429

• 2023-12-12 tmadlener (PR#529)

  • Switch the relation range tests to use Frame based I/O.

• 2023-12-06 tmadlener (PR#526)

  • Switch the edm4hep workflows to an LCG stack with a recent enough version of CMake. Necessary after key4hep/EDM4hep#235

• 2023-12-05 jmcarcell (PR#523)

  • Remove comment with file name and line number. It's very unlikely it remains up to date when either the name or the content of the files changes

• 2023-12-04 jmcarcell (PR#521)

  • Do not import ROOT when using podio-dump --help, otherwise it can take a while depending on the system only to print the help.

• 2023-12-04 tmadlener (PR#514)

  • Introduce the MaybeSharedPtr to manage the Obj* in the user facing handle classes.
    • This splits the control block and the managed object into two distinct entities with potentially different lifetimes, which allows to fix #174 and #492.
    • This increases the size of the user facing handle classes by a factor two, since they are now effectively two pointers instead of one, even if the control block will not be initialized in case a handle is obtained from a collection.
  • Remove the ObjBase base class and make the ObjectID a member of the Obj classes.
  • Make the user facing handle class constructors from an Obj* private as users will not have access to raw Obj* in any case.
    • Introduce a static makeEmpty method for the generated classes in order to create an empty handle, which is also used internally to handle unpersisted relations.
  • Enable more existing test cases in sanitizer workflows now that it has become possible to do so.

• 2023-12-04 Ananya Gupta (PR#473)

  • Added Julia code generation support in the existing Python interface.
  • Implemented a new design structure for generated Julia code.
  • Added default parameters in constructor definitions with support for Abstract types (for builtins).
  • Created _sort_components_and_datatypes function to perform topological sort on components and datatypes.
  • Created _has_static_arrays_import to check for the need of using Static Arrays in the generated julia code.
  • Added --lang (-l) programming language argument to specify the programming language for code generation, current choices: cpp and julia, default: cpp.
  • Added --upstream-edm code generation support for julia.
  • Added tests in the unit test suite, covering the Julia code generation of the example data models.
  • Added documentation for julia code generation.
  • Added ENABLE_JULIA toggle option. By default it is OFF.

• 2023-12-01 jmcarcell (PR#520)

  • Add an error message when there is an std::bad_function_call, which currently shows
    a stacktrace and is quite uninformative.

• 2023-12-01 tmadlener (PR#519)

  • Make generated member getter functions return by value for builtin types. Keep return by const reference for all other types. Fixes #518

• 2023-12-01 tmadlener (PR#488)

  • Add python bindings for the RNTuple reader and writer
  • Make podio-dump understand RNTuple based files
  • Fix missing storage of datamodel definitions for RNTuple based files
