Changelog 2024.6.10

Datasets

datetime and time columns will return tzinfo=UTC if written with an UTC-like tzinfo, and will refuse to write if a non-UTC tzinfo is given. (Previously tzinfo was discarded.)
Calling dw.finish() several times is now permitted, which can sometimes be convenient.
Hashing of complex values of the form -0+anything and all float types with NaN in them should now hash the same on all systems. This unfortunately means that they may not hash the same as they previously did on your system.

If you set a timezone datetimes (but not times) will set tzinfo=UTC. (This is true regardless of which timezone you specified. Like before they are converted to UTC, the difference is they are now returned as timezone aware objects.) This also changes specifying timezone='UTC' into something sensible, and this is now special cased to not have any caveats.

New urd.joblist_all which is like urd.joblist but never cleared within a build script.
Everything built (i.e. urd.joblist_all) is saved in the urdlist __auto__/$STARTTIME unless there is an error (or the list is empty).
The build job that creates an urdlist is recorded. (If a new build job produces the same list this information is not currently recorded anywhere.)

If a job does not register any files (including automatically by using e.g. job.open()) all files that are not in a subdirectory or begin with . will be registered automatically.
New job.register_files(pattern='**/*') to bulk-register files. (On python 2 it’s not recursive as glob.glob() is not.)
New job.link_to_here(filename='result.pickle') to link files from subjobs (like you already could with datasets).

The job output display supports sixels. (So you can e.g. call GNUTERM=sixelgd gnuplot ... and see the graph in board.)

Note: Python 2 and 3.5 are still supported, but will be unsupported soon.
