## v0.3.x → v0.4.0: Format Alignment
### 🚨 Breaking Changes
#### Field Names Changed (Breaking)
Output field names changed from **plural** to **singular** for consistency:
| `opens` → | `open` |
| `highs` → | `high` |
| `lows` → | `low` |
| `closes` → | `close` |
| `volumes` → | `volume` |
| `turnovers` → | `turnover` |
| `trade_counts` → | `trade_count` |
| `first_ids` → | `first_id` |
| `last_ids` → | `last_id` |
**Timestamps remain unchanged**: `open_time`, `close_time`
#### Migration Steps
**1. Update field access in your code:**
```python
# ❌ v0.3.x (Old)
rust_result = rust.compute_range_bars(...)
first_price = rust_result['opens'][0]
first_volume = rust_result['volumes'][0]
# ✅ v0.4.0 (New)
rust_result = rust.compute_range_bars(...)
first_price = rust_result['open'][0]
first_volume = rust_result['volume'][0]
```
**2. Update pandas DataFrame creation:**
```python
# ❌ v0.3.x (Old)
df = pd.DataFrame({
'open': rust_result['opens'],
'volume': rust_result['volumes']
})
# ✅ v0.4.0 (New) - Direct compatibility!
df = pd.DataFrame({k: v for k, v in rust_result.items() if not k.startswith('_')})
```
### 🎯 New Features
#### Zero Conversion Overhead
- **Direct pandas integration**: No manual conversion needed
- **Excel/CSV ready**: Immediate export compatibility
- **Schema validation**: Built-in format checking
- **Metadata included**: Automatic schema information
#### Format Alignment Benefits
```python
import pandas as pd
from rangebar import _rangebar_rust as rust, convert
# Get aligned output with metadata
result = rust.compute_range_bars(...)
# Direct pandas usage (no conversion!)
df = pd.DataFrame({k: v for k, v in result.items() if not k.startswith('_')})
df.to_csv('rangebar_output.csv') # Works immediately
# Schema validation
print(f"Valid: {rust.validate_output_format(result)}")
print(f"Schema: {rust.get_schema_info()['schema_version']}")
# Seamless format conversion
json_data = convert.rust_to_json(result)
arrow_data = convert.json_to_arrow(json_data)
```
#### Conversion Utilities
New `rangebar.convert` module provides seamless format conversion:
```python
from rangebar import convert
# JSON ↔ Arrow conversion
arrow_data = convert.json_to_arrow(python_bars)
json_data = convert.arrow_to_json(arrow_data)
# Validation
is_valid = convert.validate_rangebar_data(data, 'auto')
# Convenience functions
json_from_rust = convert.rust_to_json(rust_output)
arrow_compatible = convert.json_to_rust_compatible(json_data)
```
### 🔄 Upgrade Instructions
```bash
# Upgrade to v0.4.0
uv add "rangebar>=0.4.0" # or pip install --upgrade "rangebar>=0.4.0"
```
**Test your upgrade:**
```python
import rangebar
print(f"Version: {rangebar.__version__}") # Should be 0.4.0+
# Test new format alignment
from rangebar import _rangebar_rust as rust
import numpy as np
prices = np.array([5000000000000, 5040000000000], dtype=np.int64)
volumes = np.array([100000000, 100000000], dtype=np.int64)
timestamps = np.array([1000, 2000], dtype=np.int64)
trade_ids = np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.int64)
first_ids = np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.int64)
last_ids = np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.int64)
result = rust.compute_range_bars(
prices=prices, volumes=volumes, timestamps=timestamps,
trade_ids=trade_ids, first_ids=first_ids, last_ids=last_ids,
threshold_bps=8000
)
# Verify singular field names
print("Field names:", [k for k in result.keys() if not k.startswith('_')])
print(f"First open: {result['open'][0]}") # Note: 'open' not 'opens'
print("✅ v0.4.0 format alignment working!")
```

## v0.1.x → v0.2.0: Dependency Updates
This guide helps you upgrade from RangeBar v0.1.x to v0.2.0 with the latest 2025 dependencies.
## 🚨 Breaking Changes
### Python Version Requirement
- **v0.1.x**: Python 3.12+
- **v0.2.0**: Python 3.13+ ⚠️
**Action Required**: Upgrade your Python environment to 3.13+
```bash
# Check your Python version
python --version
# If < 3.13, upgrade your Python installation
# Using UV (recommended):
uv python install 3.13
uv python pin 3.13
```
### Dependency Versions
Major dependency updates that may affect your environment:
| numpy | >=1.24.0 | >=2.3.0 | Major version bump |
| pandas | >=2.0.0 | >=2.3.0 | Minor updates |
| pyarrow | >=12.0.0 | >=21.0.0 | Major version bump |
| httpx | >=0.24.0 | >=0.28.0 | Minor updates |
## 📈 Performance Improvements
### Massive Speed Increase
- **v0.1.x**: ~2.5M trades/second
- **v0.2.0**: **137M+ trades/second** (54x faster!)
Your existing code will automatically benefit from these improvements with no changes required.
## 🔄 Upgrade Steps
### 1. Update Python Environment
```bash
# Check current version
python --version
# If using UV (recommended)
uv python install 3.13
cd your-project/
uv python pin 3.13
```
### 2. Update RangeBar
```bash
# Using UV
uv add "rangebar>=0.2.0"
# Using pip
pip install --upgrade "rangebar>=0.2.0"
```
### 3. Verify Installation
```python
import rangebar
import numpy as np
print(f"RangeBar: {rangebar.__version__}")
print(f"NumPy: {np.__version__}") # Should be 2.3+
# Test basic functionality
from rangebar.range_bars import iter_range_bars_from_aggtrades, AggTrade
from decimal import Decimal
# Your existing code should work unchanged
trades_data = [
{'a': 1, 'p': '50000.0', 'q': '1.0', 'f': 1, 'l': 1, 'T': 1000, 'm': False},
{'a': 2, 'p': '50400.0', 'q': '1.0', 'f': 2, 'l': 2, 'T': 2000, 'm': False},
]
trades = [AggTrade(data) for data in trades_data]
bars = list(iter_range_bars_from_aggtrades(trades, pct=Decimal('0.008')))
print(f"✅ Generated {len(bars)} bars - upgrade successful!")
```
## 🔧 Code Compatibility
### ✅ No Code Changes Required
All existing RangeBar v0.1.x code is **100% compatible** with v0.2.0:
- **Python API**: No changes to function signatures or behavior
- **CLI Commands**: All commands work identically
- **Algorithm**: Same non-lookahead bias algorithm, just much faster
- **Data Formats**: Same input/output formats
### Example: Your Existing Code Still Works
```python
# This v0.1.x code works unchanged in v0.2.0
import asyncio
from rangebar.data_fetcher import fetch_um_futures_aggtrades
from rangebar.range_bars import iter_range_bars_from_aggtrades
from decimal import Decimal
async def process_data():
# Fetch data (same API)
trades = await fetch_um_futures_aggtrades('BTCUSDT', '2024-01-01', '2024-01-01')
# Generate bars (same API, 54x faster!)
bars = list(iter_range_bars_from_aggtrades(trades, pct=Decimal('0.008')))
print(f"Processed {len(trades)} trades → {len(bars)} bars")
asyncio.run(process_data())
```
## 🚀 Performance Benefits
### Before vs After
```python
import time
from rangebar.range_bars import iter_range_bars_from_aggtrades
# Your existing code gets automatic performance boost
start = time.time()
bars = list(iter_range_bars_from_aggtrades(trades, pct=Decimal('0.008')))
duration = time.time() - start
# v0.1.x: ~0.4 seconds for 1M trades
# v0.2.0: ~0.007 seconds for 1M trades (54x faster!)
```
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### 1. Python Version Error
```
error: externally-managed-environment
```
**Solution**: Upgrade to Python 3.13+
```bash
uv python install 3.13
uv sync
```
#### 2. NumPy Compatibility
```
ImportError: numpy compatibility issue
```
**Solution**: Clear environment and reinstall
```bash
uv sync --reinstall
```
#### 3. Dependency Conflicts
```
No solution found when resolving dependencies
```
**Solution**: Use exact version specification
```bash
uv add "rangebar==0.2.0"
```
