Changelist¶

Version 2.3¶

Subsequence search and local concurrences
Parallellization improvements in C-code for >8 threads (thanks to Erlend Kvinge Jørgensen)

Numpy is now an optional dependency, also to compile the C library (only Cython is required).
Small optimizations throughout the C code to improve speed.
The consistent use of ssize_t instead of int allows for larger data structures on 64 bit machines and be more compatible with Numpy.
The parallelization is now implemented directly in C (included if OpenMP is installed).
The max_dist argument turned out to be similar to Silva and Batista’s work on PrunedDTW [7]. The toolbox now implements a version that is equal to PrunedDTW since it prunes more partial distances. Additionally, a use_pruning argument is added to automatically set max_dist to the Euclidean distance, as suggested by Silva and Batista, to speed up the computation.
Support in the C library for multi-dimensional sequences in the dtaidistance.dtw_ndim package.
