v1.22.0 (2024-12-19)

Features

• Add pcdscalc.xray to the calc namespace.

• Add top-level shortcuts to some of the most used calcs, E2lam, lam2E, bragg_angle, darwin_width, and transmission. E2lam is an alias for energy_to_wavelength and lam2E is an alias for wavelength_to_energy to match scientist expectations.

• Added ability to ignore specific upstream devices when loading hutch-python.

  • UPSTREAM: The hutch's devices, and devices upstream from the requested hutch. If there are multiple paths to the requested hutch, all paths devices are loaded.
  • STANDARD: Devices gathered via UPSTREAM, plus devices that share the "beamline" field in happi with the UPSTREAM devices. (The current standard)
  • ALL: All devices in the happi database. Use this option at your own risk.

Bugfixes

• Make test_create_arg agnostic to where pytest was invoked from
• Fix an issue where the user could clobber their own elog object in a way that would allow the ElogPoster utility to load and then fail at scan time.

Maintenance

• Updates documentation formatting for device load_level, and adds an ascii beamline map to the test suite

v1.20.0 (2024-04-19)

Features

• Allow per-session separate ipython histories via --hist-file
  command-line argument. If omitted, default ipython behavior is used.
  When --hist-file is included with no argument, the history file
  will be written a local operator console hard drive, if available.
  An argument can be provided to use any file as the history.sqlite file.

v1.18.4 (2023-07-26)

Maintenance

• Unpin strict pyqt pin, we now just require pyqt5 of any flavor.

  (like mambabuild intermediates) would be unable to use the
  hutch-python --create cookiecutter tool.
• Add send and recv methods to the fake zmq socket because newer
  versions of the lcls2 daq code are expecting recv.
• Fix pyproject.toml typo docs -> doc.
• Update requirements.txt for accuracy now that
  psdaq-control-minimal is available on pypi.
• Include docs-versions-menu for the sphinx docs builds.

  for consistency's sake.

v1.18.2 (2023-04-11)

Maintenance

• Fix an issue where the test suite would not run with the latest
  lightpath. This was a test-suite only bug, not a runtime
  function bug.
• Fix an issue where pypi/conda upload builds would not have
  proper authentication.

v1.18.1 (2023-04-04)

Bugfixes

• Fix an edge case where all hutch devices may be skipped in the load
  if all of them are missing from lightpath.

Maintenance

• hutch-python no longer uses Travis CI and has migrated to GitHub Actions for
  continuous integration, testing, and documentation deployment.
• hutch-python has been migrated to use setuptools-scm, replacing versioneer, as its
  version-string management tool of choice.
• hutch-python has been migrated to use the modern pyproject.toml, replacing
  setup.py and related files.
• Older language features and syntax found in the repository have been updated
  to Python 3.9+ standards by way of pyupgrade.
• Sphinx 6.0 is now supported for documentation building.
  docs-versions-menu replaces doctr-versions-menu and doctr usage
  for documentation deployment on GitHub Actions. The deployment key is now no
  longer required.
• pyupgrade was used to update annotations, and pycln was used to clean up
  imports.
