v1.17.0 (2022-07-27)

Features

• In the facility logger, show the source of the exception in the facility
  log message summary. This will make it easier to understand the cause of
  uncaught exceptions that get sent to the facility logger.

v1.16.0 (2022-06-03)

Features

• Add the obj_config key to the conf.yml configuration file. This allows the user to pass in the path to a file that contains object reconfiguration information. Currently, tab completion whitelists/blacklists and ophyd component kind configuration are supported.
• Switch the best effort callback instance bec to use the BECOptionsPerRun callback from nabs instead of the previous BestEffortCallback from bluesky. This new class is a subclass of BestEffortCallback that allows us to configure its options on a per-scan basis by setting metadata keys. This means we can do things like disabling plots on scans where it makes no sense, and perhaps more features in the future.

v1.14.0 (2022-03-31)

Features

• Ctrl+C now aborts the current run, returning the RunEngine to a
  ready / idle state. The old pause functionality has been moved to
  Ctrl+\.
• Include per-device load times for devices loaded from happi.
• Load a run-engine wrapped namespace (lowercase re) as a replacement
  for the proliferation of roll-your-own wrappers, and also add wrapped
  daq scan functions to the daq object.
• Add plan wrappers to all plans to make it clear which are plans and
  which are functions.
• Show the environment information at startup so the user knows what
  version of the software they are running.

v1.13.2 (2022-02-11)

Fixes and Maintenance

Configure IPython to disable black input reformatting,for three reasons:

1. Throws errors in our terminal after the first input
2. Conflicts with advice in the black github issues that assert that black is not ready to be used as an import.
3. I don't think it's a good fit for the scientific computing and expect that it will be annoying in practice.

v1.13.1 (2022-02-07)

Fixes and Maintenance

• Noisy logger detection is now configured but disabled by default.
• Noisy logger detection is split between the file and the console.
• Allow both QtAgg and Qt5Agg as valid matplolib backends for the loaded
  environment.
• Include daq_type and daq_host in the list of valid keys for the
  purpose of warning the user about a malformed config. These have been
  valid, but produce an incorrect warning.
• Expand the default LCLS2 DAQ timeout from 1 second to 10 seconds to fix
  an issue where we would time out on expected long operations.

v1.13.0 (2021-11-10)

Features

• Noisy loggers will automatically be filtered based on message rate metrics
  as to not disturb the user.
• Warnings will be redirected to the logging stream, making them show up
  in the log files.
• Warnings will only be shown once each per session per warning source,
  rather than after every IPython line, via demoting them to DEBUG level
  in the console, as to not disturb the user.
• Callback exception log messages will be demoted to DEBUG level in the
  console as to not disturb the user.

Fixes and Maintenance

• Add documentation about the log namespace.
• Fix an issue where certain helpful namespaces inside of helpful namespaces
  in specific situations would not render properly.
• Fix various issues with the CI and move it to Python 3.9 only.
• Remove no longer needed inflection dependency

v1.12.0 (2021-09-28)

Features

• Add functionality for specifying parameters for and automatically
  instantiating the LCLS2 DAQ object (BlueskyScan) via an optional
  psdaq.control dependency and configuration keys.

Fixes and Maintenance

• Restore the CI pypi build to running.
• Properly setup lightpath, psdm_qs_cli, and elog as optional dependencies.
• Clean up the documentation about the configuration file.

v1.11.2 (2021-08-09)

Fixes and Maintenance

• Fix order of message logging in the IPython input logger. Previously, the
  In log message wouldn't happen until after the command had already finished.
  Now, the In message is logged, then any normal log messages are logged, and
  then finally the Out message is logged, all neatly in order.
• Adjust exception handling output for log files and for centralized logger.
• Log exceptions in threads
• Only log to the centralized PCDS logger when on a PCDS host
• Support stacklevel for centralized logging on Python 3.8+
• Make elog and lightpath optional dependencies for pip

v1.11.1 (2021-07-09)

Fixes and Maintenance

• Fix issues related to matplotlib setup in headless mode. This means that it
  will no longer crash the session when used without x-forwarding.
