Fixed

  • Fixed bugs in the following GMPEs:

    • AkkarEtAl2014

    • DostEtAl2014

    • KowsariEtAl2020

2023.163

Added

  • Add support for dependency installation for Debian 12

2022.350

Changed

  • Fixed default MMI computation and follow Wald et al. 1999 more closely.

Added

  • Examples configuration of internally defined GMPEs in @DATADIR@/sigma/pygmpe/sigma.cfg.

2022.287

Important

  • The default database for reading inventory, events and config as configured in database is now mysql://localhost/seiscomp compatible with SeisComP in version => 4.0.0. If the default was used before with seiscomp3 or any other database than seiscomp, then this parameter must be configured with the name of this database.

  • The sigma export script parseIncident.py and its default configuration file parseIncident.cfg have been optimized. If the current configuration in $SEISCOMP_ROOT/etc/ or $HOME/.seiscomp is derived from this previous default file, then it must be replaced by the new one and adjusted.

2022-06-14

Important

  • All software dependencies for RHEL-based Linux distributions are now located in the folder rhel instead of centos to be consistent with SeisComP in version 4.10.0. When installing this update we recommend SeisComP to a version >= 4.10.0.
