Release Notes

v1.0.29 (2024-08-20)

Fixed

  • Issue with validation of floating point numbers in dialog boxes when PyXRF is used in non-US locales.

  • Issues Matplotlib deprecations of AritstList.remove() and PolyCollection.span_where().

v1.0.28 (2024-06-20)

Fixed

  • Compatibility with Matplotlib 3.9.0: deprecated BrokenBarHCollection was replaced with PolyCollection.

Added

  • Optimized data loaded from Tiled server for SRX beamline.

v1.0.27 (2024-04-18)

Fixed

  • Fixed ‘Save spectra for pixels in selected region’ (‘Maps’ tab).

  • Selection of axes scale (Pixels vs. Positions) is not reset after each fitting of the map.

Added

  • APS AXO quantitative calibration standard.

v1.0.26 (2024-04-07)

Fixed

  • Compatibility with recent Numba: removed unsupported np.asarray function in the code compiled by Numba.

Added

  • New make_hdf parameter: catalog.

  • New pyxrf CLI parameter: --catalog-name or -c.

  • Extended support for loading corrupt data from Databroker for TES beamline.

v1.0.25 (2024-01-18)

Fixed

  • Formatting of TXT file saved by ‘Save Spectrum/Fit’: the first column now contains the energy values in kEv (previously, the first column contained the index of the energy values).

  • Fixed issue with Dask v2023.9.3 and recent Numpy/Numba.

Added

  • Quantitative calibration standards AXO C1 and C10 were added.

Changed

  • Load 12 scaler channels from Databroker (HXN beamline).

v1.0.24 (2023-05-12)

Fixed

  • Compatibility with Dask/Distributed v2023.04.x.

Added

  • Support for loading data generated by updated Bluesky plans (Community Xspress3 IOC).

v1.0.23 (2022-03-19)

Fixed

  • PyXRF is now compatible with PyQT 5.15.

v1.0.22 (2022-02-28)

Added

  • Extended functionality of quantitative analysis feature: additional combo box allows to select reference emission line from the list of emission lines with existing calibration. The calibration for the reference emission lines is used to compute quantitative normalization coefficients for all other emission lines. If the reference line is not selected, then quantitative normalization is applied only to the emission lines with existing calibration (old functionality)

Fixed

  • Fixed the code for loading step scan data at SRX. PyXRF can now load the step scan data recorded using 2023-1.0 environment.

  • PyXRF is now compatible with Matplotlib 3.7.0.

v1.0.21 (2022-12-11)

Added

  • make_hdf now supports Fly1D, dmesh and dscan (HXN).

  • New parameter fail_for_plan_types is added make_hdf. The parameter accepts a list of plan types ignored by make_hdf (make_hdf is raising an exception when loading a single plan). Currently supported only at HXN.

  • Loading data with corrupt rows in the middle of the scan (TES).

v1.0.20 (2022-08-19)

Changed

  • Current working directory can now be changed at any time. The respective button is not deactivated after the first HDF5 file is opened. The working directory is used to create new HDF5 files (Load Run..) and as a default directory for ‘Open’ and ‘Save’ dialog boxes.

  • SRX beamline: The positions for course stages are now generated based on plan input parameters. The following motors are supported: nano_stage_x, nano_stage_y, nano_stage_z, nano_stage_topx, nano_stage_topz.

Fixed

  • Compatibility with Numba v0.56.x.

v1.0.19 (2022-08-19)

Added

  • New button Add All Elements is added to Image Wizard. The button adds all element emission lines to the selection.

  • Auto checkbox is added to the windows ‘Fitting Parameters for Individual Emission Lines’ and ‘Shared Detailed Fitting Parameters’.

Changed

  • The value of the parameter Userpeak.._delta_center is now displayed as absolute energy (true peak position in keV) instead of relative energy (difference between the absolute energy and the ‘base’ energy 5 keV) in the window ‘Fitting Parameters for Individual Emission Lines’.

v1.0.18 (2022-08-08)

Changed

  • The algorithm for loading SRX raw data from databroker now fixes corrupt rows by replacing the data with data from the preceding or next valid row.

  • The plot that displays total spectrum and fitting is not hidden while the computation is running. It is replaced with the new fitting data once the computations are finished.

v1.0.17 (2022-06-16)

Added

  • Support for Python 3.10

Fixed

  • Updated the code for loading raw data at SRX beamline to be compatible with Databroker V1 (intake version).

  • Fixed the code for loading of raw data at HXN beamline.

  • Fixed the issue with batch fitting of multiple files (pyxrf_batch) observed after upgrade of Dask (observed for versions of Dask starting with v2022.2.0, Linux).

v1.0.16 (2022-05-26)

Added

  • Support for the detector xs4 (SRX beamline).

Changed

  • Databroker v1 is used for loading data at SRX beamline.

v1.0.15 (2022-04-06)

Added

  • SRX data, new format: support for step scans using top stages.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug in fit_pixel_data_and_save() that prevented saving maps as ‘TXT’ files.

  • SRX data, new format: proper handling of scan data using both xs and xs2 detectors.

v0.0.7

  • Image normalization and output normalization are synchronized.

  • Only one strategy is selected for summed spectrum fitting.

  • More controls to output data to 2D image, and to visualize on GUI

  • Output data is normalized following equation norm_data = data1/data2 * np.mean(data2).
