@lucasvr lucasvr released this 13 May 01:34

This is a new major release of User-Defined Functions for HDF5! Here are some of the good stuff this version brings to you:

  • UDF signing: we now extract and associate the public key behind a given UDF and let you associate that key to a trust profile that limits which system calls UDFs signed by that key can execute (and which file system paths it can access)
  • UDF library: HDF5-UDF is now available as a library and comes with Python bindings so you can create UDFs using Jupyter Notebooks and regular Python scripts
  • Source code storage: it's now possible to include the UDF source code in the target file so the UDF can be modified and recompiled in the future
  • New build system based on Meson + Ninja that works like a charm

The project has now a homepage that documents HDF5-UDF's API and its configuration, too. Do check it out!

Please refer to the installation page for details on how to build it from the source code or to install it from binary packages.
