Optionally requires NIX libraries with version 1.4.x.

Changes:

  • Supports new data retrieval methods for Tag and MultiTag: retrieve_data methods now support retrieval of underlying data based on the name of the DataArray.
    • This makes v1.4 of NIXPy incompatible with the C++ NIX library v1.3 and older.
  • Supports backend selection through environment variable NIXPY_H5_BACKEND. The variable accepts the same values as the backend argument of the File.open method, namely h5py and hdf5.

NOTICE

Due to a bug in numpy (numpy/numpy#9216), certain data loading operations can fail on Windows when using the 64 bit Python interpreter, causing Python to crash. This has been fixed and should be included in the next release of numpy, but for now, it may affect users with numpy 1.13.0 on Windows.
