Mantid Workbench Changes#

New Features#

Help documentation now opens in the system’s default web browser instead of an embedded viewer, improving Qt6 compatibility. Removed qtwebengine dependency and related code. This change was necessary in order to resolve issues with the render limitations of qttextbrowser and to ensure that the help documentation is displayed correctly across different platforms.
The documentation of Superplot is launched when the help button is clicked instead of the Basic 1D and Tiled Plots documentation.

In the new Instrument View, added reset buttons for the contour and integration range sliders.
In the new Instrument View, added an option to draw detectors using their actual geometric shapes instead of as points.
In the new Instrument View, added an option to display counts on a log scale.
New Instrument View now allows Groupings and Masks to be saved as .cal files.
New Instrument View now displays the component tree from the IDF, and allows you to select one or more components in that tree.
In the new Instrument View, a new ellipse widget is available for selecting detectors.

New Instrument View no longer crashes when a LOQ workspace is open and side-by-side projection is selected.
In new Instrument View, mouse wheel events on the projection and units combo boxes are no longer triggered when the mouse is hovering over them. This prevents the projection and units from being changed unintentionally when scrolling with the mouse wheel.
