Change Log

All notable changes to SeisComP are documented here.

4.5.0

SC_API_VERSION 14.2.0

  • magnitudes

    • mb and mB: add configurable distance ranges in global bindings

    • ML, MLv, MLh, md, MLr, Ms_20: unify the configuration in the magnitudes and amplitudes sections of global bindings. The number of magnitude types has grown over time and each magnitude had its own flavor of configuration. This made configurations increasingly difficult. By this change the configuration becomes homogeneous and easier. The corresponding parameters are deprecated and must be replaced by new ones either pre-pending “magnitudes.” or “amplitudes.” to the respective parameter. Warnings will be written to module logs if deprecated values are found.

    • deprecated bindings parameter values : new values:

      • MLh.maxavg : amplitudes.MLh.params

4.1.0

SC_API_VERSION 14.1.0

  • scmaster

    • Add IMPORT_GROUP to default group set

4.0.0

SC_API_VERSION 14.0.0

This is the initial release of SeisComP under a new license and with a new versioning scheme. Instead of using a release name and a time based version tag semantic versioning is now being used with a sequence of three digits: Major.Minor.Patch. The following rules apply for assigning a new digit:

  • Major: Libraries introduce binary incompatible changes or there are very significant application changes which justify a major version bump.

  • Minor: Libraries add new functionality and methods but binary compatibility within the same major release is still maintained with application built against a lower minor version. Significant application changes can also justify a minor version bump.

  • Patch: No changes in functionality but error corrections of existing codes.

Breaking changes:

  • Spread has been replaced as messaging system with our own implementation of a messaging broker. That means that connections between SeisComP3 and SeisComP >= 4.0.0 are not possible until a driver has been developed which implements Spread in SeisComP or scmp in SeisComP3.

  • Qt5 and Python3 are now supported preferred.

  • The SeisComP Python packages have been renamed to seiscomp but a compatibility layer for seiscomp3 has been added.

  • Arclink is no longer supported and has been removed completely.

  • arclinkproxy has been removed as well and is superseded by scwfas.

  • The installation directory is now seiscomp and not seiscomp3.

  • The user configuration directory is now .seiscomp and not .seiscomp3.

  • C++ compilation requires a compiler that supports at least the C++11 standard.
