Release Notes

Version 9.2.1 Maintenance Release, June 7, 2017

Corrected and improved some docstrings.
Added iterator support to the geosoft.gxpy.Grid class.
Fixed problems saving parameters to the parameter block when the parameter group does not already exist. Also added the ability to recognize default parameter settings from the initial dictionary settings.

If you already have the Geosoft package installed you should uninstall Geosoft, then install the latest version, as follows:

pip uninstall geosoft
pip install geosoft

Alternately, you can update the Geosoft package in-place, which will also update any dependencies:

pip install geosoft --upgrade

Version 9.2, May 31, 2017

The Python geosoft.gxpy 9.2 revision includes many advances that make the api more consistent with current Python best practice, particularly around naming conventions and the consistent use of class instance properties and iterators. As a result, python scripts written for geosoft.gxpy 9.1 will need to be modified to conform to new naming conventions and the use of properties on some classes.

The base GX API, which is exposed to Python by the geosoft.gxapi module, is consistent across versions (9.0, 9.1 and 9.2). As a result, the geosoft.pxpy 9.1 will continue to work with Geosoft Desktop 9.2, though both the 9.1 and 9.2 api cannot exist in the same Python environment. While we recommend that your 9.1 scripts be updated to conform to the 9.2 api, should you do need support for both 9.1 and 9.2 you can create separate Anaconda Python environments for each version. For example, you might create an environment 'py35' for Python 3.5 and the GX API version 9.1, and 'py36' for Python 3.6 and GX Developer 9.2. If you are not using the 9.1 GX API at all, it is best to simply start with the GX API version 9.2 and either Python 3.6 (or Python 3.5 or 3.4 if other applications depend on earlier versions of Python)..

Updated to conform to Oasis montaj 9.2 (see https://my.geosoft.com/downloads)
Documentation refresh: GX Developer 9.2
Added/verified support for 64-bit Python 3.5 and 3.6. Forward compatibility with future 64-bit Python is expected.
