Changelog

All notable changes to PyEPICS are documented in this file.

[1.0.0] — 2026-02-15

Combined MCDC HDF5 output: Each element now produces a single HDF5 file (e.g. Fe.h5) containing electron_reactions, photon_reactions, and atomic_relaxation groups together.
create_combined_mcdc_hdf5() — new public API for writing combined files.
write_mcdc_combined() — low-level writer accepting EEDL/EPDL/EADL datasets.
Full EPDL (photon) support: reader, raw HDF5, MCDC HDF5 — cross sections, form factors, photoelectric subshells, pair production.
Full EADL (atomic relaxation) support: reader, raw HDF5, MCDC HDF5 — subshell binding energies, radiative/non-radiative transitions, fluorescence and Auger yields.
EPICSClient — high-level API for querying element properties across all three libraries (EEDL, EPDL, EADL).
ElementProperties — container with binding energies, cross sections, fluorescence data, and transition energies.
CLI tool (epics) for download, raw, mcdc, and full pipeline execution.
Sphinx documentation with API reference, data-sources guide, and pipeline docs.
164 unit tests covering readers, converters, mapping completeness, and pipeline.
PDF regression-test report generator.

PyPI package name changed from pyepics-data to epics. Import name remains pyepics (import pyepics).
Electron-specific constants renamed for clarity: MF_MT → ELECTRON_MF_MT, SECTIONS_ABBREVS → ELECTRON_SECTIONS_ABBREVS, SUBSHELL_LABELS → ELECTRON_SUBSHELL_LABELS. Old names kept as backward-compatible aliases.
MCDC CLI now produces one combined file per element in data/mcdc/ (previously separated into data/mcdc/electron/, photon/, atomic/).
