# Changelog

## Versioning

### v0.8.0

* Adding spherical attention and spherical neighborhood attention
* Custom CUDA kerneles for spherical neighborhood attention
* New datasets for segmentation and depth estimation on the sphere based on the 2D3DS dataset
* added new spherical architectures and corresponding baselines
    * S2 Transformer
    * S2 Segformer
    * S2 U-Net
* Reworked spherical examples for better reproducibility
* Added spherical loss functions to examples
* Added plotting module

### v0.7.6

* Adding cache for precomoputed tensors such as weight tensors for DISCO and SHT
* Cache is returning copies of tensors and not references. Users are still encouraged to re-use
  those tensors manually in their models because this will also save memory. However,
  the cache will help with model setup speed.
* Adding test which ensures that cache is working correctly

### v0.7.5

* New normalization mode `support` for DISCO convolutions
* More efficient computation of Morlet filter basis
* Changed default for Morlet filter basis to a Hann window function

### v0.7.4

* New filter basis normalization in DISCO convolutions
* More robust pre-computation of DISCO convolution tensor
* Reworked DISCO filter basis datastructure
* Support for new filter basis types
* Added Zernike polynomial basis on a disk
* Added Morlet wavelet basis functions on a spherical disk
* Cleaning up the SFNO example and adding new Local Spherical Neural Operator model
* Updated resampling module to extend input signal to the poles if needed
* Added slerp interpolation to the resampling module
* Added distributed resampling module

### v0.7.3

* Changing default grid in all SHT routines to `equiangular`
* Hotfix to the numpy version requirements

### v0.7.2

* Added resampling modules for convenience
* Changing behavior of distributed SHT to use `dim=-3` as channel dimension
