  • Added image upload comments and improved authentication error messaging.
• Infrastructure:
  • Updated dependencies (added pshell) and improved documentation autodeployment workflows.
  • Refactored package structure and imports.

0.2.69

• check beamline state before running raster, rotation and automation
• lowered polling rate of daq status to improve GUI performance
• robot drys then parks after repeated mount failures

0.2.68:

• added check box to numberlineedits to switch between user input and spreadsheet
• re-enabled MLprediction
• fixed bug in gui where manual sample couldnt be created when run nubmer was negative.
• Combined beamline view now split vertically not horizontally
• New error handling in DAQ for robot mounting errors
• Error box pop ups in GUI when sample gripper detection error occurs
• Automation queue pauses if sample gripper detection error occurs multiple times to allow robot dry, if continues stops and wiats for user interverntion
• added ingest_scan to send rotation and screening result to db

0.2.67:

• added run number to sampleshortinfo
• ingest raster result, including beam center to database
• aerotech goes to mount postion for manual mount
• logger config correctly expands file path for logger location.
• smart_rotiation_panel fix - but will be mvoed to DAQ in future update
• Fluoresence scan can be saved to CSV with right click
• Wait for ready before sending Tell to dry

0.2.66:

• moved rastergridingestmodel and centreofmassmodel from models to raster_grid.py
• after raster load closest image to new centre
