* rois shoudl work. left to implement tests for individual rois, create multiple datasets (1 for each roi) in the virutal data file. currently virutal dataset with roi is not implemented and a warning is given instead. wonder why since the inviduviaual roi files are clipped
* all tests pased
* minor
* fixed rx_roi for multi modules jungfrau , tests for eiger, multi modules jungfrau in x and 2 interfaces

* fixed validation in network_utils, added a tests to throw for port 65535 in test mode (option on for sls_use_tests), multi:parent process checks child process exit status to send sigint to others
* moving set signal handler to network utils
* readoutspeed in rx master file and other master file inconsistencies (#1245)
readout speed added to json and h5 master files.
Also fixed master file inconsistencies
Sserver binaries
- update server binaries because readoutspeed needs to be sent to receiver with rx_hostname command
API
- added const to Detector class set/getburstmode
Python
- updated python bindings (burstmode const and roi arguments)
Cmd generation
- added pragma once in Caller.in.h as Caller is included in test files
m3: num channels due to #counters < 3
* workaround for m3 for messed up num channels (client always assumes all counters enabled and adds them to num channels), fix for hdf5
g2: exptime master file inconsistency
- exptime didnt match because of round of when setting burst mode (sets to a different clk divider)
- so updating actual time for all timers (exptime, period, subexptime etc, ) in Module class, get timer values from detector when setting it and then send to receiver to write in master file
ctb image size incorrect:
- write actual size into master file and not the reserved size (digital reduces depending on dbit list and dbit offset)
- added a calculate ctb image size free function in generalData.h that is used there as well as for the tests.
master file inconsistencies
- refactored master attributes writing using templates
- names changed to keep it consistent between json and hdf5 master file (Version, Pixels, Exposure Times, GateDelays, Acquisition Period, etc.)
- datatypes changed to keep it simple where possible: imageSize, dynamicRange, tengiga, quad, readnrows, analog, analogsamples, digital, digitalsamples, dbitreorder, dbitoffset, transceivermask, transeiver, transceiversamples, countermask, gates =>int
- replacing "toString" with arrays, objects etc for eg for scan, rois, etc.
- json header always written (empty dataset or empty brackets)
- hdf5 needs const char* so have to convert strings to it, but taking care that strings exist prior to push_back
- master attributes (redundant string literals->error prone
tests for master file
- suppressed deprecated functions in rapidjson warnings just for the tests
- added slsREceiverSoftware/src to allow access to receiver_defs.h to test binary/hdf5 version
- refactored acquire tests by moving all the acquire tests from individual detector type files to a single one=test-Caller-acquire.cpp
- set some default settings (loadBasicSettings) for a basic acquire at load config part for the test_simulator python scripts. so minimum number of settings for detector to be set for any acquire tests.
- added tests to test master files for json and hdf5= test-Caller-master-attributes.cpp
- added option to add '-m' markers for tests using test_simulator python script

* python accessing freed shared memory object (#1253)
* added a 'isValid' member in shared memory (also updated shm version) with default true, any access to shared memory() checks also for validity. any free will set this to false and then unmap shm. Any access to shm will then check validity in python.
* fixed tests for shm
* added tests in python as well

- renamed conda-recipe folder
- added a check to see if build and install folder exists in build.sh (conda recipe)
- created VERSION file that has '0.0.0'for developer but can be updated using update_version.py that takes in a version. The script checks for semantic versioning and updates VERSION file
- VERSION file also copied along with py files to slsdet in python cmakelist and build_pylib.sh (for conda), also copied in root folder for installations (for no coding purpose)
- init.py and setup.py reads this file to get the version (a bit differently to find the VERSION file)
- VERSION file read into cmake to get the version and also added to compile definition. So RELEASE removed from versionAPI.h (using SLS_DET_VERSION compile definiton instead) and also removed updateRelease script.
- conda getting project version from environment variable SLS_DET_VERSION that is set in build_pylib.sh prior.
- added 3.13 python to conda build
- anything related to ctb removed from release notes as users will always use developer
- sets 0.0.0 to VERSION file by running update_version.py without an argument
* jf: rolling back firmware required to v1.5 and 2.5, updated release notes, fixed a bug when updating server (when server name same as link name:throws with no message, pedestal mode check changed for the time being for loops to be 0xFF size
* compensating for jf fw bug for pedestalmode where loops should be 16 bit, but is 8 bit in fw. to be fixed in next version
* formatting
* formatting, merge fix
* fixed python test simulator to kill previous servers
* rmeoved merge binary
* g2: chip reconfigure variable not set when powering on at startup because readconfig is the one configuring the chip the first time to default chip settings
* cleaning up code
* first draft of fixing the free function available within the class
* removed class member function freeSharedmemory for both Detector and Module; made the free function freeSharedmemory accessible to python interface; setHostname if there is already a module in shm will recreate the Detector object while freeing shm completely and keeping detsize and intitialchecks (previous commit), sethostname called from DetectorClass in virtual command to have one point of entry (previous commit), testing Module class frees shared memory using free function
* Detector class: added copy and move constructor and assignmentoperators due to explicit destructor (DetectorImpl fwd declared), DetectorImpl class: included ZmqSocket to remove destructor (should not be virtual in any case), Module class: removed explciit destructor to allow compiler generated constructor and operators
* formatting
* minor fix for readme autocomplete
* updated client version date
* fixing nextframenumber properly with firmware
* updated firmware to have getnextframenumber and fixed setnextframenumber to reset also the header fifo when stopping
* fix tests for gotthard2
* get/set next frame number in G2 (firmware only has set, no get)
* firmware has issues: each stop keeps 2 frame header in fifo and the resetting frame number happens after that
* removed the option to set burstmode to burst external or continuwous internal
* needs to be revisited before 9.0.0
* added readoutspeed command to m3 (fullspeed - 10, half speed - 20, quarter speed - 40), removed reaodut pll, moved up system pll clock indices, leaving pll index in common altera code, default speed is half speed, allow only system_c0 to be set, the others can be obtained, same for clkphase, maxclkphaseshift, clkfreq. added to readoutspeedlist commands, updated help and updated tests
* updated readoutspeedlist command
- do not validate write reg, setbit and clearbit by default anymore
- --validate will force validation on the bitmask or entire reg
- remove return value for write reg (across server to client, but thankfully not in the Detector class)
- extend validation into writereg, setbit and clearbit for Eiger (always special)
- need to check python (TODO)
- missed the rx_zmqip implementations in detector.h and python bindings
* changed rxr callback signatures to all include structs
* removed datamodify call back as size can be changed in the original data call back now
* bringing some parameters (set functions) to dataProcessor class for its callback (namely udpport, quad, fliprows, totalframes, jsonheader), resulting in also removing totalframes from 2 other function signatures
* updated MultiReceiverApp to reflect the new callback signatures
* put back code to obtain adc and dac device indexafter loading device tree and then create folder iio_device_links and create symbolic links there according to device indices found. ln -sf operation not permitted, so folder has to be deleted and created everytime. Also refactored definitions to have all the xilinx name or detector specific stuff out of programbyArm.c
* uncommented waittransceiverreset at startup (should work now) and return of powering off chip at startup (error for transceiver alignment reset)
* updated registerdefs from firmware
* minor prints and updating names from registerdefs
* waittransceiverreset has been fixed in firmware and removing warnign for that, transceiver alignment check for powering off chip is not done in fw (giving a warning and returning ok for now)
* fixing ipchecksum (not done), removed startperiphery, allowing readout command to be allowed for xilinx when acquiring
* m3: fixed stop server not starting up with setup variables
* all servers except eiger fixed for virtual stop server to start up with setupDetector function called
* virtual tests work
* eiger: versions print neednt be in stop server
* jungfrau: stop server (not virtual) also needs to read config file
* ensuring master is setup for virtual and real servers
* enable ipv6 in zmq socket
* removed rx_zmqip API and field in gui, changed client updaterxrzip to updateclientzmqip to have the rx_hostname ip if 0.
* updated command line for rx_zmqip to give a warning.
* Replaced 'depreciated' to 'deprecated' everywhere
* switching from * to 0.0.0.0 works for rebinding zmq sockets
* fixed help in command line for rx_zmqip * to 0.0.0.0 and removed cmd in python
* remove publisher zmq socket ip also for moench post processing
* fixed tests
* publisher zmq ip macros to be reused
* voltage regulators only looks at dac and not at ctrl_reg
* xilinx: change dac max to 2048, setting dac ist not inverse conversion from dac to voltage anymore, but setting power is inverse, also there is max and min to power, a different min for vio and this is checked at funcs interface, not printign or converting to mv in dac for power regulators (as its conversion max and min are different)
* Use links for dacs/adc and adapt power rglt thresholds
* Remove wait for transceiver reset
* adc and dac device not used anymore and hence removed
* udp restucturing: arm has to be multiple of 16 and no byteswap in udp_gen, option to compile locally in arm architecture, memsize of the second udp memory has to be limited

* moench (feature to wait for post processing to be done in new sls_detector_acquire_zmq executable)
READOUT_ACTION_ZMQ added to action enums
sls_detector_acquire_zmq added to executables
empty data call back so that client listens to last dummy zmq packet from moench post processor
processor: remove NEWZMQ ifdefs and remove connect for zmq publisher socket
* fix to compile
* cmds generated and parsed
* changed common.c readADCFromFile to make it more general and move temperature calculation for Eiger out of this function and inside whereever it is called.
* g2 and m2: gethighvoltage was just a variable set in server, it is now moved to a get inside DAC5671 implementation (but not reading a measured value, instead what is set from a file), high voltage variable used inside DAC5671 for virtual servers
* g2: switching off hv (ifrom non zero to zero value) will wait for 10s; powering on chip reconfigures chip; powering off chip unconfigures chip; powering off chip also includes check if hv = 0, if not throw exception; chip configuration checked before acquring; at start up: hv switched off and chip powered on, so does not wait 10s to switch off hv;
* included test to check powering off chip when hv is on should throw an exception
* g2: check if chip configured before acquiring
* nios: read hv value set from file and virtual still goes into DAC5671 for conversions to and fro dac to V, change common readadc to readparameter to generalize, make sethighvoltage into a get and set to catch errors in get as well, g2: if not at startup, remmeber hv value before setting it and after check if value was being switched off (from a non zero value) and wait 10s if it was (10s wait only for switching off from non zero and not at startup)
