Due to changes in pw::Shell to allow compression of shells, the user is expected follow a different format when adding points on a compressed shell database. A point on a compressed shell is represented by [list x y z $db] while a point on an uncompressed shell is remains [list u v f $db]. Note that, when adding points from GUI, however, the newly journaled scripts is changed to do a closest point projection with XYZ: $mode addPoint [$db closestPoint {X Y Z}]. This facilitates interchangeable use of scripts across compressed and expanded shells.
Due to changes to pw::DatabaseMesher and in how the explicit number of subdivisions setting on mapping filters is affected by the refinement factor, the Glyph package version was bumped to 8.23.2 in order to minimize the impact on any existing scripts that may have depended on the previous behavior. The version number specified in the “package require PWI_Glyph” call controls if the explicit value used in pw::DatabaseMesher.addMappingFilter is scaled by the refinement factor. If no version number is specified, or if a version starting with 8 is requested, then the value will be scaled. If a version number starting with a value less than 8 is requested, the previous behavior of not scaling the value will be kept. In the case of nested scripts, the initial call to “package require PWI_Glyph” sets the compatibility level -- it cannot be changed in the middle of a script either directly or by including other scripts that request a different version number (requesting a version with a different major number will trigger an error).
Due to changes to pw::VolumeMesher.createGridEntities and in how domains and database planes are named, the Glyph package version was bumped to 7.22.2 in order to minimize the impact on any existing scripts that may have depended on the previous default value. The version number specified in the “package require PWI_Glyph” call will affect which entity naming scheme is used by the volume mesher. If no version number is specified, or if a version starting with 7 is requested, then the new naming method is used. If a version number starting with a value less than 7 is requested, the previous default naming scheme will be used (domains will be named “dom-?” where ? is a unique index.). In the case of nested scripts, the call to “package require PWI_Glyph” sets the compatibility level -- it can not be changed in the middle of a script either directly or by including other scripts that request a different version number (requesting a version with a different major number will trigger an error).
Due to changes to the default value of pw::BlockUnstructured.VoxelTransitionLayers, and to changes to pw::DomainStructured.createOnDatabase and pw::DomainUnstructured.createOnDatabase in how domains are named, the Glyph package version was bumped to 6.22.1 in order to minimize the impact on any existing scripts that may have depended on the previous default value. The version number specified in the “package require PWI_Glyph” call will affect which default value and domain naming scheme is used. If no version number is specified, or if a version starting with 6 is requested, then the new default value of Voxel Transition Layers will be used (5) and affect what which naming method is used. If a version number starting with a value less than 6 is requested, the previous default value will be used (3), and the previous naming scheme will be used (domains will be named “dom-?” where ? is a unique index.). In the case of nested scripts, the call to “package require PWI_Glyph” sets the compatibility level -- it can not be changed in the middle of a script either directly or by including other scripts that request a different version number (requesting a version with a different major number will trigger an error).
Due to changes to how pw::DatabaseMesher.createGridEntities names domains, the Glyph package version was bumped to 5.18.5 in order to minimize the impact on any existing scripts that may have depended on the previous naming scheme. The version number specified in the “package require PWI_Glyph” call will affect what which naming method is used. If no version number is specified, or if a version starting with 5 is requested, then the new naming scheme (of naming the domains after the quilt they are based on) will be used. If a version number starting with a value less than 5 is requested, the previous naming scheme will be used (domains will be named “dom-?” where ? is a unique index. In the case of nested scripts, the call to “package require PWI_Glyph” sets the compatibility level -- it can not be changed in the middle of a script either directly or by including other scripts that request a different version number (requesting a version with a different major number will trigger an error).
Due to changes to several default values, the Glyph package version was bumped to 4.18.4. In order to try to minimize the impact on existing scripts, the version number specified in the “package require PWI_Glyph” call will affect what defaults are used. If no version number is specified, or if a version starting with 4 is requested, then the current (new) defaults will be used. If a version number starting with 3 or 2 is requested, the previous defaults will be used. In the case of nested scripts, the call to “package require PWI_Glyph” sets the compatibility level -- it can not be changed in the middle of a script either directly or by including other scripts that request a different version number (requesting a version with a different major number will trigger an error). Note that changing the default value sets the value everywhere, regardless of the compatibility level. All default values are reset with a call to pw::Application.reset.
Due to changes to several default values, the Glyph package version was bumped to 3.18.3. In order to try to minimize the impact on existing scripts, the version number specified in the “package require PWI_Glyph” call will affect what defaults are used. If no version number is specified, or if a version starting with 3 is requested, then the current (new) defaults will be used. If a version number starting with 2 is requested, the previous defaults will be used. In the case of nested scripts, the call to “package require PWI_Glyph” sets the compatibility level -- it can not be changed in the middle of a script either directly or by including other scripts that request a different version number (requesting a version with a different major number will trigger an error). Note that changing the default value sets the value everywhere, regardless of the compatibility level. All default values are reset with a call to pw::Application.reset.
