v0.17.0

This release deprecates and renames certain variables and functions to modernize some of the code while preserving functionality. It also adds the ability for images to be handles directly in ImageDescriptorGenerator while also paving the way to include a future VideoDescriptorGenerator.

Updates / New Features

Deprecations

• Deprecated and renamed various functions with iter* prefix because this is no longer a standard. Deprecation warnings were added to preserve usability.

• Removed type_str from descriptor_element interface and impls because the type-string attribute isn’t utilized.

Utils

• More usefully type and annotate smqtk_descriptors.utils.parallel.parallel_map() to pass through the input callable’s annotated return type as the iteration output of the returned ParallelResultsIterator instance.

Features

• Created ImageDescriptorGenerator And added an implementation smqtk_descriptors.impls.descriptor_generator.image_descriptor_generator_wrapper.ImageDescriptorGeneratorWrapper for the purposes of handling image matrices directly.
