Version 0.1.0 Announcement

Version 0.1.0 Announcement:

I am excited to announce the release of version 0.1.0 of the FoundationDesign library!

What's New:

• User-Specified Reinforcement Area: Users can now specify the area of reinforcement provided in their designs to override the program calculated one. For example:
  reinforcement_provision_flexure_X_dir(area_of_steel_provided=452)
reinforcement_provision_flexure_Y_dir(area_of_steel_provided=452)

Versioning Strategy:

• Moving forward, This project will adhere to strict semantic versioning (SemVer) principles. This means:
  • Bug Fixes will focus on bug fixes and minor improvements. Which will involve incrementing the last digit of the version, e.g v0.1.1
  • Minor updates will introduce new features that are backward-compatible. Which will involve incrementing the last digit of the version, e.g v0.2.0
  • Major updates may include changes that are not backward-compatible, signalling significant enhancements to the library. Which will involve incrementing the last digit of the version, e.g v2.0.0

Update on the Web app
The web app for the library is currently in development and will be released for public beta testing soon enough.

Thank You!

Dropping Scipy Dependency

Removed scipy import statement a rejoinder to - v0.0.5 release note "This update features the rewriting of the column_punching_coefficient_k function that interpolates k values from Table 6.1 of the Eurocode. The interpolation is now done with Numpy instead."

Updating Plotting Functions

This release is a major one but doesn't affects the fundamental workflow of this package. Now plotting functions contain show_plot argument meant that displays the plot function by default. The functions that shows the results now return a python dictionary instead of the string output. The string output can be called using the status key. The example workbook has been updated accordingly

Upgrading the dependecies to latest versions

This release is a minor one, that sought to upgrade the requirements.txt
