1.3.0

• Adds official support for Python 3.11 & 3.12
• Allow creation of FCS files without any events (thanks to @tristan-ranff for PR #26)
• MAINTENANCE: moved to a 'src' based directory structure using pyproject.toml
• DOCUMENTATION: moved to RTD doc theme

1.2.1

• BUGFIX: fixes parsing of FCS files with integer data type where bitmasking is needed to properly retrieve event values greater than the PnR value (thanks to @JcGKitten for PR #24)
• BUGFIX: fixes issue where file wasn't closed before raising error for multi-dataset FCS files

1.2.0

• Support added for FCS files with multiple data sets (via '$NEXTDATA' tag). Special thanks to Max (@JcGKitten) for implementing this feature (#23)!

1.1.1

• BUGFIX: Fixed an issue where FCS files were not being closed when an error occurred while parsing the file.
• All errors / exceptions raised in FlowData class are now inherited from the FlowIO generic class FlowIOException

1.1.0

• Reduce time to create new FCS files
• Support additional parameter related FCS keywords when creating new FCS files
• Error raised when creating FCS files with non-float data type
• API: Custom exceptions / errors are now thrown. These can be imported via the module flowio.exceptions
• API: FlowData constructor added ignore_offset_discrepancy option to ignore discrepancy between the HEADER and TEXT values for the DATA byte offset location
• API: FlowData constructor added use_header_offsets option to use the HEADER section for the data offset locations
• BUGFIX: Remove invalid $PnE output for float data type (create_fcs still only supports exporting as float)

Special thanks to @zbjornson for PRs #16, #17, #18, #21

1.0.1

BUGFIX: Fixes incorrect data offset for some exported FCS files (issue #14)

1.0.0

• Major reworking of create_fcs function to support writing files with log scale or gain metadata
• FCS keyword list available via fcs_keywords module
• Version now accessible via flowio.version
• BUGFIX: fix incorrect byte offsets in create_fcs when metadata contained 2-byte UTF-8 characters
• API: FlowData.write_fcs no longer takes separate extra & extra_non_standard args, unified to new metadata arg
• API: create_fcs arguments simplified, cyt, date, extra, extra_non_standard are merged into new metadata arg

0.9.14

BUGFIX: Fixes issue where data offsets were not set correctly when exporting large FCS files (issue #12). Thanks to @andreas-wilm for PR #13.
BUGFIX: Export of FCS files would fail in rare cases where the text section byte length would be off due to the length increasing by one digit (leading to incorrect DATA section offset).
API: FlowData attribute cur_offset is no longer public (is only used internally in the constructor)

0.9.13

Added optional argument only_text to FlowData constructor to only read the "text" segment of FCS files without loading event data. This allows faster parsing of a large number of files to inspect metadata, and also uses less memory.

Thanks to @JcGKitten for the feature request & implementation (pull request #11)

0.9.12

Significantly improves read times for FCS files.
