Framework Changes
- The macOS bundle now requires macOS High Sierra (10.13) as a minimum.
- The Ubuntu bundle requires Ubuntu 18.04.
- Although this release may continue to work on Windows 7/8, this will not have been verified or tested by the development team on anything earlier than Windows 10.
- SaveNexusESS to save data and nexus geometry to a single processed file.
- LoadNGEM added as a loader for the .edb files generated by the nGEM detector used for diagnostics. Generates an event workspace.
- CalculatePlaczekSelfScattering will calculate the Placzek correction from an incident spectrum as generated by FitIncidentSpectrum.
- FitIncidentSpectrum will fit a curve to an incident spectrum returning the curve and it’s first derivative.
- Mantid is now resilient to corrupted Facilities.xml files, which could sometimes happen occasionally while downloading an updated file. If Mantid finds a corrupt file it will now fall back to the originally installed file, and the corrupted one should be re-downloaded.
- A definition file for the NEAT instrument at HZB as been added along with an entry in the facilities file.
- The PEARL IDF has been updated with corrections to the instrument flight path and monitor distances.
- Whitespace is now ignored anywhere in the string when setting the Filename parameter in Load.
- Added options to SaveMD to allow selection of what will be saved. For MDHistoWorkspace only.
- SetGoniometer will now work on all workspaces not just Workspace2D.
- Version upgrade LoadNexusProcessed to allow loading of both existing Mantid format Processed Nexus files and those produced via SaveNexusESS.
- A new Poisson cost function has been added to CalculateCostFunction.
- In SaveAscii it is now possible to save out also the values of the spectrum axis.
- IndexPeaks now has options to enter modulation vectors and additional information required for satellite peak indexing. As
a result
IndexPeaksWithSatellites has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
- MaskAngle has an additional option of
Angle='InPlane'
- The valiation in SaveAscii has been improved to only accept MatrixWorkspaces.
- The custom dialog for CreateSampleShape
has been removed. It will now fall back to the generic one.
- A bug in the conversion to Q3D and ModQ for indirect spectrometers at high Q in ConvertToMD has been fixed.
- Streaming of json geometry has been added to the KafkaLiveListener. User configuration is not required for this.
The streamer automatically picks up the geometry as a part of the run information and constructs the in-memory geometry without the need for an IDF.
- IPython widget command executor has been updated to cope with changes to IPython >= 7.1
