[Bigjob-users] API Changes?

[Andre Luckow]

Hi Ole,

> has the API for bigjob changed? The examples in SVN trunk (and linked via trac) don't seem to run with bigjob 0.3.37 (the last version working for me):

Yes, the API slightly changed (but it's still backward compatible). I
simplified the import statements by defining the main API objects in
the main package. Also, I removed the SAGA dependency on API-level
(otherwise things would be too confusing and people might end up using
Bliss and SAGA C++ together). Thus, description is defined as an
extension to saga.job.description. Nevertheless, BJ still works with
saga.job.descriptions. Since the examples on the web page are linked
to the trunk - they only match the current version (although - I can't
find an example called bigjob-only.

Thanks, I updated the API documentation.

Best,
Andre
