Bug fix and minor release, returning ModuleObj.text functionality. New functions ModuleObj.saveImage and SceneObj.saveImage automatically save a picture to /images/. This is done by default by the gui, and is controlled in modelchain by simulationParamsDict['saveImage'] = True.

Python 3.7 support is dropped (it should still work though). Example notebook gallery updates in readthedocs.

Minor bug fix update, fixing some GUI startup issues and assorted minor errors from the 0.4.0 release.

Requirements.txt has been updated. Python 3.10 support added and Python 3.6 support dropped (it should still work though).

This is a major release which includes new spectral property class, object-oriented ModuleObj class and other improvements for more seamless use with dask and paralellization.

Major usage changes include a ModuleObj output from makeModule, allowing updating geometry and adding module features (adding a torque tube with .addTorquetube, frame members using .addFrame, etc ). This release also changes start and end time format to ‘YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM’ enabling multi-year and sub-hourly met file support.
