v1.28.1

This is a small bug fix release that addresses a couple of issues introduced in v1.28.0 that affected updating existing files in Qt Designer that included PyDMTabWidget as well as setting initial channels on PyDMAnalogIndicator. Also includes a fix for scatter plots with data channels that update faster than their drawing rates.

v1.27.0

What's Changed

This patch adds a few new features to Base Plot and Archive Time Plot along with some bug fixes. We added labels on crosshairs for Time Plots, Archive Time Plots and Waveform Plots and fixed how crosshairs were working. We addressed an issue with dynamically switching a channel on a PyDMWidget.

This update also adds another slew of changes that are needed for PySide6 support in PyDM. (Note that Pyside6 support is currently still in progress and will be fully enabled in a future release. Using Pyside6 will also be an optional feature and should not effect how PyDM currently uses PyQt5.)

v1.26.0

What's Changed

This patch adds some bug fixes related to the ErrorBarItems of ArchiverPlotCurveItem widgets, and the added ability to reference start angle and span angles of PyDMDrawingArc based widgets with their widget-rules (for example, they can now be set by PVs). This update also adds some general maintenance patches to PyDM's setup and GitHub, a highlight being the switch from setup.py to pyproject.toml.

This update also adds a slew of changes that are needed for PySide6 support in PyDM. (Note that Pyside6 support is currently still in progress and will be fully enabled in a future release. Using Pyside6 will also be an optional feature and should not effect how PyDM currently uses PyQt5.)
