This is the v1.16.9 release of PyCBC.

This is a point release that allows the compression level of HDF5 files created by pycbc_coinc_mergetrigs to be specified by a command-line argument, and sets the default value of that argument to 6, rather than the current 9. This significantly speeds up execution with only marginal increase in the resulting file size (#3428)

A Docker container for this release is available from the pycbc/pycbc-el7 repository on Docker Hub and can be downloaded using the command:

docker pull pycbc/pycbc-el7:v1.16.9

On a machine with CVMFS installed, a pre-built virtual environment is available for Red Hat 7 compatible operating systems by running the command:

source /cvmfs/oasis.opensciencegrid.org/ligo/sw/pycbc/x86_64_rhel_7/virtualenv/pycbc-v1.16.9/bin/activate

A singularity container is available at /cvmfs/singularity.opensciencegrid.org/pycbc/pycbc-el7:v1.16.9 which can be started with the command:

singularity shell --home  ${HOME}:/srv --pwd /srv --bind /cvmfs --contain --ipc --pid /cvmfs/singularity.opensciencegrid.org/pycbc/pycbc-el7\:v1.16.9
