Release 1.6.1 (January 11th 2024)

LabMaestro

  • Stability update; significant work to allow recoverable workspace if a crash should happen.

  • Fixed issues with graphs scaling depending on size.

  • Issue fixed with drag and dropping regions unto the timeline.

  • Improved memory management to run on computers with low amounts of memory.

  • Expressions dealing with angles now default to use degrees rather than radians.

PyPixx is now frozen in time and deprecated. We will be implementing all the features found in PyPixx inside of LabMaestro. PyPixx is still part of the installation for now but will not be updated.
