FADO version 1.2.6

Features

• Make FADO easier to import, only the parent directory needs to be in PYTHONPATH.

FADO version 1.2.5

Features

• Monitor the value of functions that do not participate actively in the optimization Driver.addMonitor

FADO version 1.2.4

Features

• Allow a user-defined destination file name in ExternalRun.addData

FADO version 1.2.3

Maintenance

• Update example for SU2 version > 7.1.0;
• Add an example for shape optimization of an FSI problem.

FADO version 1.2.2

Bug fixes

• Fix dangling evaluations when using concurrent execution (if one execution failed early).
• Ensure that the default function value is returned if it fails during concurrent execution (for soft failure mode only).

FADO version 1.2.1

Features

• Class LabeledTableReader to read data from csv-like files based on column headers;
• Generalize user-defined pre/post driver actions (driver.setUserPreProcessFun) to accept both strings (shell commands) and callable objects.

Maintenance

• Consistent use of comparison operators (is and ==);
• Collect all examples under one common directory.

FADO version 1.2.0

Features

• Driver class (ScipyDriver) for easy interfacing with SciPy optimizers, especially SLSQP;
• Python docstrings on all important classes and functions, plus an utility function (printDocumentation) to automatically display the documentation, e.g. >>> printDocumentation(ScipyDriver).

Bug fixes

• Simultaneous evaluation of gradients was not working for the IpoptDriver.

FADO version 1.1.0

Features

• Driver class (IpoptDriver) for easy interfacing with Ipopt (via IPyOpt);
• New file parser (ArrayLabelReplacer), replaces a label by an array of numeric values;
• Adds "soft-failure" functionality (driver.setFailureMode("SOFT")), instead of raising an exception when a function evaluation fails, the code uses a fallback value (function.setDefaultValue(x)) and the previous value of the gradient.

Bug fixes

• The re-try mechanism (that re-runs an evaluation should it fail) was not working.
