Changed
^^^^^^^

- (breaking config) make config key names consistent for several Instruments or measurement Workers.
Suffix key name with '_dir' for directory path configs.

- inst.piezo.E727_3: limits_um -> limit_um, range -> range_um.
- inst.camera.ThorlabsCamera: dll_path -> dll_dir.
- inst.dtg.DTG: root_local -> local_dir, root_remote -> remote_dir.
- inst.pd.LUCI10,LUCI_OE200: dll_path -> dll_dir.
- inst.tdc.MCS: home -> mcs_dir, home_raw_events -> raw_events_dir.
- meas.qdyne_worker -> home_raw_events -> raw_events_dir.

- (breaking config) node class and preferred name changes (46a58d8).

- LogBroker's preferred node name: 'log_broker' -> 'log'.
Replace '[localhost.log_broker]' / 'localhost::log_broker' with '[localhost.log]' / 'localhost::log'.
- Module and class: mahos.node.param_server.ParamServer -> mahos.node.global_params.GlobalParams.
Config target key and preferred name: param_server -> gparams.
Replace '[localhost.param_server]' with '[localhost.gparams]'.
Replace '[localhost.somenode.target] param_server = "localhost::param_server"' with '[localhost.somenode.target] gparams = "localhost::gparams"'.

- inst.InstrumentServer, Instrument, InstrumentOverlay.

- overlay can reference other overlays as well as raw Instrument.
- add new standard API methods get_param_dict() and get_param_dict_labels().
Instrument can also use ParamDicts with this.
- signature of configure(): add new kwargs label and group to make it usable with get_param_dict().

- (breaking config) DTG classes in inst.dtg module has been moved to inst.pg module.

- common_msgs: Resp class has been renamed to Reply.

- Common directories has been moved from ~/.config/mahos or ~/.cache/mahos/log to ~/.mahos/config ~/.mahos/log .

- The home directory (~/.mahos) has become configurable with environment var "MAHOS_HOME".

Removed
^^^^^^^

- gui.oe200: use much more generic tweaker gui instead.

--------------------

Fixed README and metadata. No code is changed since 0.2.1.

--------------------

0.2.1 is the first release after open-sourcing this project.

Added
^^^^^

- inst.daq: AnalogIn and CounterDivider classes.
- inst.pd: LUCI10 and OE200 classes.

Changed
^^^^^^^

- APDCounter has been moved from inst.daq to inst.pd.
- meas.confocal,odmr: can be used not only with APDCounter, but also analog-PDs like OE200.
- meas.confocal_io: image export puts the c-unit label (like cps) at colorbar, not as title.
- docs: directory structure has been changed for github-pages publication.

--------------------

On 0.2.0, we have got prepared for open-sourcing this project by following.

- The project is renamed from "meow2" to "mahos", in order to avoid potential trademark infringement.
- The git repository has been re-initialized to avoid exposing internal information of the company.

Added
^^^^^

- ParamDict type: provides functions like unwrap, flattened view, isclose comparison
- gui.basic_meas, gui.fit_widget based on it
- gui.pulse_monitor
- Buffer and Fit functions for BasicMeasNode (podmr, odmr, spectroscopy, hbt)
- Block and Blocks types for pulse generators
- odmr: background (differential) measurement
- file io: HDF5 (h5) file format
- settings of dev. tools: lint (flake8) and formatter (black)

Changed
^^^^^^^

- project name: meow2 to mahos
- gui: Switched from PyQt5 to PyQt6
- gui: Switched from QDarkStyle to BreezeStyleSheet
- podmr: almost rewrite the pulse generator and gui

Fixed
^^^^^

- inst.tdc: bug of set_sweep_preset
- inst.tdc: load_ctl is now load_config
- meas.odmr_fitter: avoid zero division
- gui.hbt,podmr: bug of disrupting UI
