Release notes
This release includes new features and improvements of several functions, as well as enhancements to documentation (README, docstrings, examples, and notations).
Important changes
- Change the definition of `cvtStokesToDoCP` as *degree* should not contain negative values.
- Before: DoCP = s3 / s0
- After: DoCP = |s3| / s0
- Change the definition of `retarder` (and also `qwp`, `hwp`) to match the definition of recent papers.
- Phase delay `delta` is flipped.
New features
- Symbolic Stokes-Mueller computation.
- New visualization functions (DoP/DoLP/DoCP, ToP, CoP are supported).
- New image grid for Mueller matrix image.
- New image I/O to handle multiple polarization images efficiently.
Improvements
- Add optional axis support for `cvtStokesTo*` series functions.
- Stokes input support for `calcStokes` and `calcMueller` functions.
