Changelog

Release 1.0.0

Tags	Description
💥 API-Break✏️ Changed🌱 Added	Introduced the imfusion.data.components submodule. Moved all DataComponent-related types from imfusion to imfusion.data.components: DataComponent, DataComponentBase, DataComponentList, TransformationStashDataComponent, ImageInfoDataComponent, DisplayOptions2d, DisplayOptions3d, DataSourceComponent, LabelDataComponent, VitalsDataComponent, DatasetLicenseComponent, and RealWorldMappingDataComponent. Additionally, create_data_component has been renamed to imfusion.data.components.create() and available_data_components has been renamed to imfusion.data.components.list_available().
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed	Removed imfusion.data.components.DataComponent, which was previously used as the base class for defining custom Python data components. Use the new imfusion.data.components.register() decorator together with imfusion.data.components.field() instead.
💥 API-Break✏️ Changed	Path arguments such as imfusion.io.load(), imfusion.io.save(), imfusion.load_plugin(), and imfusion.is_compatible_imfusion_plugin() now accept os.PathLike | str | bytes (including pathlib.Path). imfusion.show() is split into a data overload and a path overload so that bytes means a filesystem path, not in-memory data. The former keyword data_or_file is replaced by data and path.
💥 API-Break✏️ Changed	The following APIs previously returned or accepted an imfusion.DataList and now use a plain list[imfusion.data.Data] instead: imfusion.data.DataGroup.children, imfusion.data.DataGroup.children_recursive(), imfusion.ApplicationController.selected_data, imfusion.ApplicationController.select_data(), imfusion.DataModel.create_group(), and imfusion.DataModel.get_common_parent().
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed	Removed imfusion.DataList. Use a regular Python list instead.
💥 API-Break✏️ Changed🌱 Added	Introduced the imfusion.gui submodule. Moved Suite and GUI-related APIs from imfusion to imfusion.gui: ApplicationController, ConsoleController, DataModel, Display, View, ImageView2D, ImageView3D, LayoutMode, Annotation, AnnotationModel, SignalConnection, VisualizerHandle, imfusion.gui.open_in_suite(), imfusion.gui.close_viewers(), imfusion.gui.list_viewers(), and imfusion.gui.show(). These symbols are no longer available on the top-level imfusion module, except for imfusion.show(), which remains available as an alias of imfusion.gui.show(), and imfusion.app, which remains on the top-level module.
💥 API-Break✏️ Changed🌱 Added	Introduced the imfusion.log submodule. Moved logging-related functions from imfusion and renamed them: log_trace to imfusion.log.trace(), log_debug to imfusion.log.debug(), log_info to imfusion.log.info(), log_warn to imfusion.log.warn(), log_error to imfusion.log.error(), set_log_level to imfusion.log.set_level(), log_level to imfusion.log.level(), and transfer_logging_to_python to imfusion.log.transfer_to_python(). These functions are no longer available on the top-level imfusion module.
✏️ Changed🌱 Added	Introduced the imfusion.data submodule. Moved Data and all Data-derived types from imfusion to imfusion.data: Data, DataGroup, Mesh, PointCloud, SharedImageSet, TrackedSharedImageSet, and TrackingSequence. All of these remain accessible from the top-level imfusion module.
🔧 Fixed	Fixed imfusion.algorithm.PathType.SAVE_FILE having incorrect value OpenFile instead of SaveFile.
🔧 Fixed	Fixed return type of imfusion.algorithm.Algorithm.status from int to imfusion.algorithm.Status.
🌱 Added	show() in a Jupyter notebook cell now results in a displayed screenshot of the final state when the visualizer is closed interactively. Please note that the screenshot will not be displayed when the visualizer is closed programmatically via close() or via del handle.
🌱 Added	Added the imfusion.data.components.typing submodule, which provides the following types for static type checking: PyDataComponent TPyDataComponent TDataComponentBound TValueType
🌱 Added	Added imfusion.data.components.register() and imfusion.data.components.field() for defining custom Python data components, replacing the previous approach based on subclassing imfusion.data.components.DataComponent.
🌱 Added	Extended TrackedSharedImageSet: construct from a SharedImageSet with an optional TrackingSequence, plus from_shared_image_set(), add_tracking(), and has_transformations.

Release 0.12.0

Tags	Description
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed	Removed imfusion.ImageResamplingAlgorithm. Use imfusion.processing.resample_<..> instead.
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed✏️ Changed	The following generic algorithm API classes and functions have been moved from imfusion to imfusion.algorithm. imfusion.Algorithm -> imfusion.algorithm.Algorithm imfusion.Algorithm.action -> imfusion.algorithm.action() imfusion.Algorithm.Action -> imfusion.algorithm.Algorithm.Action imfusion.Algorithm.Status -> imfusion.algorithm.Status
💥 API-Break🌱 Added	show() is now non-blocking only when the Python interpreter is in interactive mode, but it becomes blocking otherwise. This can be controlled by the added argument block, which enforces a blocking behaviour when set to True, or enforces a non-blocking behaviour when set to False. If the new default blocking behaviour in non-interactive mode is undesired, the show() calls need to be updated by passing the extra argument block=False.
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed✏️ Changed	Algorithm.output has been removed from imfusion.algorithm.Algorithm. imfusion.algorithm.Algorithm.compute() now directly returns the respective output.
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed	Removed imfusion.opencv_build_version without replacement.
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed✏️ Changed	Removed imfusion.mesh namespace. Moved imfusion.mesh.create to imfusion.Mesh.create(). Moved imfusion.mesh.Primitive to imfusion.Mesh.Primitive. Moved imfusion.mesh.PointDistanceResult to imfusion.processing.PointDistanceResult. Moved and renamed imfusion.mesh.point_distance to imfusion.processing.compute_point_distance().
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed	imfusion.algorithm_name was removed without replacement.
💥 API-Break🧹 Removed	Removed the following imfusion.MemImage processing methods: imfusion.MemImage.resize imfusion.MemImage.crop imfusion.MemImage.pad imfusion.MemImage.downsample imfusion.MemImage.resample imfusion.MemImage.rotate imfusion.MemImage.flip imfusion.MemImage.threshold imfusion.MemImage.range_threshold imfusion.MemImage.invert imfusion.MemImage.convert_to_gray imfusion.MemImage.create_float Use the corresponding functions in imfusion.processing instead.
💥 API-Break🕰️ Deprecation🧹 Removed✏️ Changed	Removed imfusion.open, imfusion.io.open, imfusion.io.write, and imfusion.io.CompressionMode. Deprecated imfusion.load() and imfusion.save(). Added imfusion.io.load() and imfusion.io.save(). imfusion.load() and imfusion.save() now forward to imfusion.io.load and imfusion.io.save(), respectively.
💥 API-Break🕰️ Deprecation✏️ Changed	The following generic algorithm API functions have been deprecated in imfusion and moved to imfusion.algorithm. imfusion.create_algorithm -> imfusion.algorithm.create() imfusion.execute_algorithm -> imfusion.algorithm.execute() imfusion.available_algorithms -> imfusion.algorithm.list_available() imfusion.algorithm_properties -> imfusion.algorithm.get_properties()
💥 API-Break✏️ Changed	Enums in the imfusion base module now use Python’s standard library enum types via pybind11’s py::native_enum. As a result, enum values are now native Python enum instances. The behavior of type(...), isinstance(...), identity checks, and the output of repr(...) and str(...) may differ from previous releases. Previously, enum values were wrapper objects rather than native Python enum instances. They had to be compared using == because identity checks (is) were not reliable. Enum values now follow standard Python enum semantics, so expressions such as value is MyEnum.MEMBER behave as expected. Likewise, enum values are now instances of their corresponding Python enum class, so checks such as isinstance(value, MyEnum) and type(value) is MyEnum also behave as expected. PaddingMode can no longer be constructed from a member name using imfusion.PaddingMode("ZERO"). Use standard enum member lookup instead: imfusion.PaddingMode["ZERO"].
💥 API-Break✏️ Changed	Python algorithms can now be registered in the ImFusion Suite using the imfusion.algorithm.register() decorator instead of subclassing imfusion.Algorithm. Input compatibility is declared with class attributes of type imfusion.algorithm.Input (replacing convert_input), Parameters are declared with class attributes such as imfusion.algorithm.ParamInt (replacing self.add_param). The main execution method is now __call__ instead of compute.
🕰️ Deprecation	Deprecated imfusion.DataSourceComponent.DataSourceInfo.io_algorithm_name in favor of imfusion.DataSourceComponent.DataSourceInfo.io_algorithm_id
✏️ Changed	Registering a new Python algorithm in the ImFusionSuite now automatically unregisters any existing Python algorithm with the same class name or display name. Previously, only algorithms with the same display name were unregistered, which could lead to an error when the same class name was registered again.
✏️ Changed	Changed return type of imfusion.imagedescriptor.spacing from numpy.ndarray to imfusion.typing.spacing.
✏️ Changed🌱 Added	Added imfusion.BoundImageDescriptor and imfusion.BoundImageDescriptorWorld, which are immutable wrappers around imfusion.ImageDescriptor and imfusion.ImageDescriptorWorld. These bound variants are now returned by imfusion.SharedImage.descriptor, imfusion.SharedImage.descriptor_world and imfusion.SharedImageSet.descriptor.
🔧 Fixed	Corrected mismatched property names from imfusion.ImageDescriptorWorld.pixel_to_texture_matrix / imfusion.ImageDescriptorWorld.texture_to_pixel_matrix to imfusion.ImageDescriptorWorld.image_to_texture_matrix / imfusion.ImageDescriptorWorld.texture_to_image_matrix. The previous names were misleading and did not reflect the actual behavior. The underlying functionality remains unchanged.
🔧 Fixed	Fixed a bug where changing imfusion.SharedImage.shift, imfusion.SharedImage.scale or imfusion.SharedImage.metric and then retrieving them again would show no change if the GPU representation was the most up-to-date one.
🔧 Fixed	Fixed imfusion.ImageDescriptorWorld.has_index(), which previously called imfusion.ImageDescriptorWorld.index() and thus returned an index instead of checking for validity. It now correctly returns a boolean that indicates whether a pixel at (x, y, z) exists.
🌱 Added	Added the following image processing functions to imfusion.processing: imfusion.processing.resample_to_percent() imfusion.processing.resample_by_binning() imfusion.processing.resample_to_ref_image() imfusion.processing.resample_to_descriptor()
🌱 Added	Added logic to automatically use the dedicated GPU on Laptops upon importing imfusion.
🌱 Added	Added the following image processing functions to imfusion.processing: imfusion.processing.convert_dtype() imfusion.processing.pad() imfusion.processing.resample_to_dimension() imfusion.processing.resample_to_spacing() imfusion.processing.flip() imfusion.processing.rotate() imfusion.processing.apply_threshold() imfusion.processing.invert() imfusion.processing.crop() imfusion.processing.convert_to_grayscale()
🌱 Added	The Visualizer, invoked by show(), now supports Data other than SharedImageSet.
🌱 Added	Added imfusion.__version__.
🌱 Added	Added imfusion.typing module for additional type hints and improved type safety.
