ADIOS2 Joined arrays, API simplification, HDF5 subfiling, TOML backend, wildcard file extensions, Performance & Memory: This release adds support for additional I/O features in all backends, and additionally a completely new TOML backend, useful for openPMD-formatted configuration files in scientific workflows. The ADIOS1 backend, previously deprecated, has been removed in favor of ADIOS2.
The openPMD-api has been simplified by no longer requiring explicit specification for scalar components via RecordComponent::SCALAR in its object model. The addition of wildcard filename extensions (e.g. simData.%E or simData_%T.%E) simplifies the generic implementation of backend-independent logic, such as post-processing routines.
