OpenQuake Engine 2.7.0

[Michele Simionato (@micheles)]

• Fixed the risk exporters for tags containing non-ASCII characters

[Valerio Poggi (@klunk386)]

• Implemented the Pankow and Pechmann 2004 GMPE (not verified)

[Graeme Weatherill (@g-weatherill)]

• Added Derras et al. (2014) GMPE
• Implemented the Zhao et al. (2016) GMPE for active shallow crustal,
  subduction interface and subduction slab events
• Adds 'rvolc' (volcanic path distance) to the distance context

[Michele Simionato (@micheles)]

• The outputs loss_curves-rlzs and loss_curves-stats are now visible again
  as engine outputs (before they were hidden)
• Added a debug command oq plot_assets and fixed oq plot_sites
• Added a flag --multipoint to the command oq upgrade_nrml
• Deprecated several outputs: hcurves-rlzs, agg_loss_table, losses_total,
  dmg_by_tag, dmg_total, losses_by_tag, losses_by_tag-rlzs
• Extended the command oq extract job_id to check the database
• Optimized the scenario damage calculator by vectorizing the calculation
  of the damage states
• Extended the FragilityFunctions to accept sequences/arrays of intensity
  levels, as requested by Hyeuk Ryu

[Daniele Viganò (@daniviga)]

• Added support for groups in the WebUI/API server

[Michele Simionato (@micheles)]

• Added an experimental distribution mode of kind "zmq"
• Implemented an API /extract/agglosses/loss_type?tagname1=tagvalue1&...
  with the ability to select all tagvalues (*) for a given tagname
• Deprecated reading hazard curves from CSV, since it was an experimental
  features and nobody is using it
• Changed the exporter of the event loss table to export all realizations
  into a single file

[Graeme Weatherill (@g-weatherill)]

• Adds the Bindi et al. (2017) GMPEs for Joyner-Boore and Hypocentral
  Distance

[Michele Simionato (@micheles)]

• Made it mandatory to specify the sites for all calculators reading the
  GMFs from a CSV file
• Tested also the case of calculators requiring a shared_dir
• Improved the error checking when parsing vulnerability functions with PMF

[Daniele Viganò (@daniviga)]

• Fixed a bug in oq reset command which was not stopping
  the DbServer properly

[Michele Simionato (@micheles)]

• Implemented an API /extract/aggcurves/loss_type?tagname1=tagvalue1&...
• Implemented an API /extract/aggdamages/loss_type?tagname1=tagvalue1&...
• Every time a new calculation starts, we check if there is a newer version
  of the engine available on GitHub
• Changed the search logic for the configuration file openquake.cfg
• Implemented an API /extract/agglosses/loss_type?tagname1=tagvalue1&...
• Fixed several bugs in the gmf_ebrisk calculator, in particular in presence
  of asset correlation and missing values on some sites
• Fixed a bug with logging configured a WARN level instead of INFO level
  if rtree was missing (affecting only oq run)
• Changed the ScenarioDamage demo to use two GSIMs
• Added a node <tagNames> in the exposure
• Added a web API to extract the attributes of a datastore object
• Fixed oq to_shapefile and oq from_shapefile to work with NRML 0.5
  (except MultiPointSources)
• Added information about the loss units to the agg_curve outputs
• oq extract hazard/rlzs now extracts one realization at the time
• The rupture filtering is now applied during disaggregation
• Changed the /extract wen API to return a compressed .npz file
• Fixed a bug with multi-realization disaggregation, celery and no
  shared_dir: now the calculation does not hang anymore
