SMQTK v0.8.0 Release Notes¶
This minor release represents the merger of a public release that added a Girder-based implementation of the DataElement interface. We also optimized the use of the PostgreSQL DescriptorIndex implementation to use named cursors for large queries.
Updates / New Features since v0.7.0¶
Data Structures
Revise GirderDataElement to use girder_client python module and added the the use of girder authentication token values in lieu of username/password for communication authorization.
Add the optional use of named cursors in PostgreSQL implementation of the DescriptorIndex interface. Assists with large selects such that the server only sends batches of results at a time instead of the whole result pool.
Added PostgreSQL implementation of the KeyValueStore interface.
Girder
Initial SMQTK Girder plugin to support image descriptor processing via girder-worker.
Initial SMQTK Girder plugin implementing a resource and UI for SMQTK nearest neighbors and IQR.
Fixes since v0.7.0¶
Data Structures
Added locking to PostgreSQL DescriptorElement table creation to fix race condition when multiple elements tried to create the same table at the same time.
Fix unconditional import of optional girder_client dependency.
Dependencies
Pinned Pillow version requirement to 4.0.0 due to a large-image conversion issue that appeared in 4.1.x. This issue may have been resolved in newer versions of Pillow.
Scripts
Various fixes to IQR model generation process due to changes made to algorithm input parameters (i.e. taking DataElement instances instead of filepaths).
Fixes build_iqr_models.sh to follow symlinks when compiling input image file list.
Tests
Fix missing abstract function override in KeyValueStore test stub.
Fix test girder_client.HttpError import issue.
