0.7.2

🚨 Breaking Changes

• Replace the Segment.plot_reference_particle_traces with a clearer visualisation in the for of Segment.plot_mean_and_std. This also changes the plot generated by the Segment.plot_overview method. (see #392) (@RemiLehe)
• The order of the pixels in Screen.reading was changed to start from the bottom left instead of the top left. This is now consistent with the Screen.pixel_bin_centers and Screen.pixel_bin_edges properties. (see #408) (@jank324)

🚀 Features

• Implement split method for the Solenoid element (see #380) (@cr-xu)
• Implement a more robust RPN parser, fixing a bug where short strings in an Elegant variable definition would cause parsing to fail. (see #387, #417) (@amylizzle, @Hespe, @jank324)
• Add a Sextupole element (see #406) (@jank324, @Hespe)

🐛 Bug fixes

• Fix issue where semicolons after an Elegant line would cause parsing to fail (see #383) (@amylizzle)
• Fix Twiss plot to plot samples also after elements in nested (see #388) (@RemiLehe)
• Fix issue where generating screen images did not work on GPU because Screen.pixel_bin_centers was not on the same device (see #372) (@roussel-ryan, @jank324)
• Fix issue where Quadrupole.tracking_method was not preserved on cloning (see #404) (@RemiLehe, @jank324)
• The vertical screen misalignment is now correctly applied to y instead of px (see #405) (@RemiLehe)
• Fix issues when generating screen images caused by the sign of particle charges (see #394) (@Hespe, @jank324)
• Fix an issue where newer versions of torch only accept a torch.Tensor as input to torch.rad2deg (see #417) (@jank324)
• Fix bug that caused correlations to be lost in the conversion from a ParameterBeam to a ParticleBeam (see #408) (@jank324, @Hespe)

🐆 Other

• Temporarily limit torch dependency to 2.6 or lower to avoid abort trap: 6 error with 2.7 (at least on macOS) (see #419) (@jank324)
