Mantid Workbench Changes

New Features

  • The Python script editor now supports f-string syntax highlighting.

  • The Python script editor now supports Bool syntax highlighting.

  • The crosshair button is disabled (invisible) in 3D plots, which include surface plot, wireframe plot and mesh plot.

  • Added property errorreports.core_dumps. Linux users can set this to the directory on their system where core dump files are put after a crash (e.g errorreports.core_dumps=/var/lib/apport/coredump). Workbench will then be able to use this property to extract useful information from the core dump file created after a crash and give that to the error reporting service. This will help us to diagnose some problems where previously no stacktrace was available after a crash. On Linux, core dumps are now always turned on for the workbench process.

  • A crosshair toggle option has been added in mantidplots on the top right of the toolbar area. The crosshair button is disabled (invisible) in titled plots.

  • Deprecated parameter Unwrap Ref has been removed from the Powder Diffraction Reduction Interface.

  • The settings widget ‘Apply’ button is now disabled when there are no pending changes.

Bugfixes

  • The ... button for a user defined function is no longer obscured by the scroll bar in the Fit Property Browser on macOS.

  • Minimizing the sample log plot on the SampleLogs widget so that it is not visible no longer throws an error.
