1 New, Changed or Resolved Features
Building shared libraries is disabled by default. If you need to link against any of the libSls*.so libraries, you can enable this by passing -DSLS_BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARIES=ON to CMake.
Added SLS_USE_SYSTEM_ZMQ option (default OFF) to use the libzmq of the host instead of the one included in our repo.
Experimental support for building the detector client (including python bindings) on macOS
rx_dbitlist keeps the order of the passed bit list
Detector.pattern (python) accepts also a pattern object, not only a pattern file
added patternstart to python (ctb, xilinx_ctb , mythen3), only the detector class api was exposed (startPattern())
documentation for all branches and developer now online and build and pushed automatically
gui: mouse zooms not reset at start of acquisition
m3: fixed patwaittime in intervals, which is hardly used. patwaittime in clocks stays the same and working.
m3: getPatternFileName typo fixed
support for building rpms
removed unused function readDataFile/writeDataFile from file_utils.h
added rx_streamdummyheader to send the zmq dummy header any time. Allows pre-configuring zmq processing before acq begins.
zmqsocket - allowing hwm to be set already at the constructor level. As before, can still be set after construction with socket reconnection.
M3: threshold energy updated to -1 in receiver master file whenever it is set in the detector server (setting dacs directly, custom trimbit file, set all trimbits etc.)
