What's Changed
We have a large set of new features and seven fixes in this release. First we wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped add features and develop PyDM at the EPICS 2022 Codeathon!

We want to focus on two big new features. We have added pvAccess to PyDM, check out the documentation for a review of currently supported features! The second one is a new pop-up in QT Designer to ease the setup of widgets.

Default Behavior Changes
The default redraw rate of all PyDM plotting widgets has been reduced to 1 HZ from 30 HZ. This is user configurable in both Designer and python if a faster redraw rate is needed.
