theOehrly/Fast-F1 v2.3.0

Release v2.3.0

on GitHub

Bug Fixes:

• The matplotlib dependency version is now required to be >= 3.3.3 to prevent
  incompatibility. (#210)

• Fixed: NaT values for 'Time' or 'LapStartTime' may cause a crash
  in fastf1.core.Telemetry.calculate_driver_ahead (#151)

• Fixed: Data for speed trap 'SpeedST' is added to the wrong lap.
  This additionally caused empty laps to exist for some drivers at the
  beginning of some sessions.

• Fixed: fastf1.core.Telemetry.add_driver_ahead could not
  be called on previously resampled telemetry data. (#178)

• Added: Better error handling for sessions that did not take place.

• Fixed: Tyre compound shown for some laps was incorrect in some special
  cases. (#204)

• Fixed: Incorrect first and last name for Hulkenberg in fallback driver list
  (by @niallmcevoy)

• Fixed: metadata for ~fastf1.core.Telemetry was not propagated
  correctly in fastf1.core.Telemetry.merge_channels and
  fastf1.core.Telemetry.resample_channels.

• Fixed: incorrect call of scipy method in
  fastf1.legacy.inject_driver_ahead

• Fixed: Error handling regression in fastf1.core.Session.load

• Fixed: ~fastf1.core.DataNotLoadedError not raised for car_data and
  pos_data.

New Features:

• Added: Function fastf1.get_events_remaining (by @oscr)

• Added: Support for shorthand paths (e.g. '~/cache') in
  fastf1.Cache.enable_cache (by @oscr)

Changes:

• The default base url scheme for Ergast is changed from http to https.

Deprecations and Notices for Upcoming Changes:

• Deprecation: Undocumented function fastf1.ergast.fetch_weekend
  will be removed without a direct replacement in a future version
  (target: v3.0.0).

• Change: fastf1.utils.to_timedelta and
  fastf1.utils.to_datetime will return NaT instead of raising and
  exception if a valued cannot be parsed in a future version
  (target: v3.0.0).
