v0.6.0-alpha

This release contains most, but not all, of the features that will be released in 0.6.0. It reflects the status of pvlib python when its Journal of Open Source Software paper was accepted. See openjournals/joss-reviews#884

0.5.1

v0.5.1 (October 17, 2017)

API Changes

• pvsystem.v_from_i and pvsystem.i_from_v functions now accept
  resistance_series = 0 and/or resistance_shunt = numpy.inf as inputs
  (:issue:340)

Enhancements

• Improve clearsky.lookup_linke_turbidity speed. (:issue:368)
• Ideal devices supported in single diode model, e.g.,
  resistance_series = 0 and/or resistance_shunt = numpy.inf (:issue:340)
• pvsystem.v_from_i and pvsystem.i_from_v computations for near ideal
  devices are more numerically stable. However, very, very near ideal
  resistance_series and/or resistance_shunt may still cause issues with the
  implicit solver (:issue:340)

Bug fixes

• Remove condition causing Overflow warning from clearsky.haurwitz
  (:issue:363)
• modelchain.basic_chain now correctly passes 'solar_position_method'
  arg to solarposition.get_solarposition (:issue:370)
• Fixed: Variables and Symbols extra references not available <https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/issues/380>_ (:issue:380)
• Removed unnecessary calculations of alpha_prime in spa.solar_position_numpy
  and spa.solar_position_loop (:issue:366)
• Fixed args mismatch for solarposition.pyephem call
  from solarposition.get_solarposition with method='pyephem'
  arg to solarposition.get_solarposition (:issue:370)
• ModelChain.prepare_inputs and ModelChain.complete_irradiance now
  correctly pass the 'solar_position_method' argument to
  solarposition.get_solarposition (:issue:377)
• Fixed usage of inplace parameter for tmy._recolumn (:issue:342)

Documentation

• Doc string of modelchain.basic_chain was updated to describe args
  more accurately. (:issue:370)
• Doc strings of singlediode, pvsystem.v_from_i, and pvsystem.i_from_v
  were updated to describe acceptable input arg ranges. (:issue:340)

Testing

• Changed test for clearsky.haurwitz to operate on zenith angles
• Significant new test cases added for pvsystem.v_from_i and
  pvsystem.i_from_v (:issue:340)
