At last, after months of inactivity, I pushed out a new release of [_DataMatrix_]({{ site.url }}/projects/datamatrix). Although the version bump is small (0.8) there are a lot of changes since last releases. The most notable include:
|
|
|
|
* Ability to apply functions to elements of the matrix
|
|
* Ability to filter rows by column contents
|
|
* Ability to transpose rows with columns
|
|
* An option to load text files produced by R (which are, by design, broken)
|
|
* Removed the getter for columns, using dictionary-like syntax directly
|
|
* A lot of bug fixes
|
|
|
|
The download links on [the project page]({{ site.url }}/projects/datamatrix) have been updated, along with [the documentation]({{ site.url }}/doc/datamatrix/). Also, there is another change, because from now on the official Git repository [is hosted on gitorious.org](http://gitorious.org/datamatrix/datamatrix), and no longer on github, because gitorious (the software) is also free, while github.com's is not. It's mainly a philosophical issue (the same that prompted me to switch from twitter to identi.ca).

|
Also, from today _DataMatrix_ is also officially hosted on the [Python Package Index](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/datamatrix/0.8) (with the name "datamatrix"), meaning that you can use easy_install to quickly install it.

If you use this module, let me know what you think (including bugs, if you find them).
