Version v2.0

The documentation is located here: http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~wortmann/m.swim/

upcoming

• m.swim.subbasins:
  • added include_area input parameter to create subbasins outside the station catchments, e.g. this is useful for coastal areas that will never be included in station catchments

Version v2.0 - 2022-03-22

• first version to support SWIM redesign csv input files
• a long-term support version for the old input file formats is available on the v1_lts branch
• several argument name changes to be more consistent with common grass modules and the corresponding SWIM variable names (see below).
• relies on the mswim library for the first time
• m.swim.hydrotopes:
  • subbasins, landuse, soil, management arguments renamed to subbasin_id, landuse_id, soil_id, crop_management_id in-line with new column names of the hydrotope.csv file
  • strfilepath renamed to output
  • optional columns with default values (e.g. wetland, crop_management_id etc.) are no longer written to file unless a map is given to populate them
• m.swim.routing:
  • figpath argument renamed to output
• m.swim.substats:
  • projectpath renamed to output for the subbasin.csv file
  • optional columns with default values are no longer written to file unless a map is given to populate them. If no-standard columns are needed, they will need to be added to the gworder, suborder, routeorder arguments.

Version v1.6 - 2022-01-19

• last version supporting legacy SWIM input
• added the m.swim.glaciers module to create SWIM-G input files
• m.swim.hydrotopes
  • countoursrast is now only output file, custom contours raster is passed as string to contours
  • -c is not needed anymore and is deprecated
• several bug fixes

Version v1.5 - 2020-07-28

• alpha implementation of the mswim python package to contain abstracted/shared functionality between all modules, mainly to test if it's working
• -v to show the version and install date of modules and grass itself
• m.swim.climate:
  • support for R-based climate interpolation input dropped
  • point-defined grid definition enabled via grid=, -d and optionally lon_column, lat_column, e.g. for rotated grids
  • ncinfopath argument renamed to gridfilepath with deprecation notice

Version v1.4 - 2019-12-02

• m.swim.routing: topologically correct mainstreams vector output
  • downstream directions, nodes at intersections and subbasin boundaries
  • subbasinID and accumulation (min, mean, max) columns in table
  • network nodes in layer 2 (for network analysis)
  • optional minmainstreams parameter, by default headwater subbasins have 1-cell mainstream
  • new required parameter drainage instead of streams which is set to the default output of m.swim.subbasins
• m.swim.subbasin: grided subbasin support
  • -g enables grid subbasins in current locations projects
  • -l enables grid subbasins in lon-lat projection
• documentation moved to http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~wortmann/m.swim
• subbasinoutlets vector no longer has category IDs equal to the subbasinID
• dropped m.swim.run as succeeded by swimpy

Version v1.3 - 2019-08-11

• streamthresh is now a required parameter to m.swim.subbasins
• fixed hydrotopes counting starting from 1
• predefined subbasins will only be included if they are within the catchment
• m.swim.substats is also writing out centroid latitude, reference elevation and initial water storage.
• Python3-proofed to run with grass 7.8

Version v1.2 - 2019-01-09

• test project in sync with SWIM develop branch
• output stations_snapped vector in m.swim.subbasins with topology catchment info
• docs migrated to markdown and as Github Wiki
• minmainstreams argument to m.swim.routing
• add subbasin order in m.swim.routing to subbasin table
• m.swim.substats outputs just three files instead of three for each subbasin
• rwatershedmemory argument to m.swim.subbasins
• m.swim.subbasins output catchment names get station category postfix (instead of running counter)
• numerous bug fixes and refactoring

Version v1.1 - 2017-01-27

• Some adjustments made to align output with current SWIM version (but not yet fully synchronised) including a small test suite and compatibility with g.extension (GRASS 7.2) for convenient installation.

Version v1.0 - 2016-09-18

• First version develped between 2012-2016 producing a fully functional SWIM project but not sychronised with the development of the SWIM code.

There are tests for each grass module based on the Blankenstein catchment (upper Saale (Elbe)). All required input maps are in the grassdb/utm32n/PERMANENT mapset, all tests should therefore be executed in:

cd test
grass grassdb/utm32n/PERMANENT

Run all tests:

make

Or test modules individually like:

make subbasins
make routing

The non-grass output of tests is verified by a sha1sum comparison. Hash and paths are stored and committed to git in the file output.sha1 . To verify that the output is the same run:

make checkoutput

Checking the diff of the output.sha1 file will indicate output files that have changed (if any).

• change version in README.md, in header of all module files and in mswim/__init__.py.
• add change log in README.md
• git commit -a -m 'Bump version to vX.X.'
• git tag vX.X
• git push & git push --tags
• publish docs: cd doc; make [URL=...] publish
