v0.7.10
-------

Contributors: Jerome Carnis, Philipp Middendorf, Ivan De Gennaro Aquino

- Refactor the `DevicePicoscale` implementation.

- Bug: compare the user-defined value in inputs fields of exposed methods to the
  defined limits. Previously limits applied only to the widget arrows.

- Create the `EigerSwTrigger` and `EigerSwScanner` classes, to allow scans with the
  Eiger using a software trigger.

- Create a new widget `MethodEnabledByAttributeWidget`, where the input field of the
  exposed method can be enabled/disabled by an external boolean attribute.

- Upgrade the `pint` library to 0.19.2 (this new version supports `inf`). As a
  consequence, Kamzik3 does not support any more Python 3.7.

- Refactor: move `snippetsUnits.device_units` to `Device.to_device_unit` and add unit
  tests.

- Implement the `DummyTangoDevice`. It takes the expected Tango attributes and methods
  names in the config file. It is useful when one needs to mock the Tango devices.

- Add the option to provide a step-size in the config file for the
  `DeviceNumAttributeWidget`. This is useful for motors where the default step size
  should be smaller than the default (e.g. risk of collision).

- Add snippet `update_saved_attributes.h5` to update the fields in an existing
  `saved_attributes.h5` file without losing the existing records.

v0.7.9

devices.DeviceEpos:

- check type of the attributes when reconnecting the device (second call to __init__, type in the YAML mapping may be different).
- update the position-related attributes only when the device is connected (the position reading is 0 when disconnected, not generating an error).
- remove inheritance from deviceOSLibrary which is error-prone and does not much

devices.Device:

- when SAVE_CHANGE, update also the device config (this solves the inconsistency
in configs after reconnection)

Widgets:

- create DeviceNumAttributeBusyWidget, enabled only when the device status is BUSY
  (when setpoints can be set only if the device is started, e.g. Chiller)
- deviceNumAttributeWidget: compare to string "degC" instead of units.degC
  (pint exception)
- deviceDebugWidget: add checkbox for returning commands. This avoids crashing hardware
  not returning anything.
