Note that with this release we moved from DockerHub to GitHub Container Registry for image hosting. The REGISTRY_BASE_URI has been updated in the .env file. If you are not using the .env for deployment, you will need to update REGISTRY_BASE_URI in your own deployment scripts. No other changes are required.

Worker Updates

  • Substantial upgrades to database interaction:
    • Move read/write operations of write arrays, curVal, and curStatus from Mongo to Redis, reducing latencies associated with model advance.

    • Adds unit test with basic mock data for mongoengine/mongo
  • Python updates
    • Worker Python and E+ Python upgraded to 3.8
    • Required packaged for Python plugins can be specified in a requirements.txt file, documented in wiki.
  • Improved error handling and logging:
    • Jobs that experience errors now upload the contents of the run to S3
    • E+ error logs are now exposed to the user when simulation fails.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixes intermittent E+ bug where models would sometimes skip a time step.
    • Timescale runs now stop at the specified stop time.
    • Improved handing of writearray and writeVal.
