v1.4.0

foamlib v1.4.0

New feature: colon (:) as index

FoamFile and related classes now support colons (:) as indices, with the meaning of "this entire file/dictionary". Accessing file[:] returns an independent copy of the entire data (it is equivalent to file.as_dict()), while setting file[:] = data will replace all of the contents of the object (except the header, if present).

File manipulation improvements

File manipulation is now safer and more robust, with minor grammar changes, a much improved data normalization step (whose purpose is to ensure that any data written by foamlib always matches what its parser expects), and additional validation of user inputs for extra certainty.

More modern codebase

Updated a huge portion of the code to use constructs from the newer versions of Python, including the use of match-case (PEP 634 structural pattern matching)—available since Python 3.10—where it makes sense.

Dropped support for Python 3.8 and 3.9

These versions are now end of life and their use is not recommended anymore. However, installing foamlib with these Python versions is still possible: you'll just get an earlier version of foamlib.
