[2025.3.0 - 2025-09-10]

Larix improvements and bugfixes:

  • the FileList in Larix and many related Windows (to import data, etc), has a richer set of options with Right Mouse Button. These also have "keyboard shortcuts" or "accelerators" (Ctrl- / Alt- keys) that do most actions to move and select groups. This allows much faster and easier manipulation of the list of datasets.

  • Saving Session Files is now more robust against certain classes of errors. It will also happen in a background thread to avoid hanging Larix for large projects.

  • Loading Session Files now shows a more complete list of "non XAS Data groups" that can be imported.

  • on startup, Larix defines a "Session ID" (almost random) used for autosaving sessions, but now uses a separate "Session Name" that will be used for an explicitly Saved Session. This will be set from the name of the first loaded dataset, but can be changed if using "Save Session As".

  • on startup, a Lock File using the Session ID will be created, and removed only when Larix is shutdown cleanly.

  • on startup, any existing Lock Files -- which might signal a Session that crashed or is running in another process -- and their corresponding auto-saved Session will be shown in a Dialog as available for Import or for having the Lock File removed.

  • the "Session Name" above will be shown in the Larix Title Bar.

  • Plot Windows will have Title Bars that include the Session Name and the Analysis Panel (or the Data Processing Window) that generated the plot.

  • Configuration of plotting options such as linewidths, colors, themes, and so forth is now both easier and more robust. Many of the plotting routines have had "hardcoded" values for such plot attributes removed. The "plot" tab is "Edit Preferences" now has only a "Save Plot Configuration" to save the configuration of the current Plot Window #1 to ".larch/wxmplot.yaml". This allows the configuration to be set from the Plot Window Configuration frame. This configuration file (which could be edited) will be loaded on startup and used for all plots.

  • The pre_edge range shown for XAS Normalization is more accurately displayed.

  • Very short pre-edge ranges better sets the backgroud form to "Constant".

  • More fixes so the EXAFS processing is re-done when groups are copied.

  • The XY Data Analysis Panel now allows settings which X and Y arrays to use for a Group.

  • Some simplifications in CurveFit Layout.

  • Fix for proper normalization of data in Pre-edge Panel.

  • Several fixes for showing Feffit Results.

  • A general attempt to have better and more consistent Fond sizes.

xraylarch library:

  • better allow out-of-order constraint expressions in feffit Parameters
  • fixes to propagating uncertainties to Path Parameters
  • Make sure energy data is monotonically increasing in "rebin_xafs"
  • Fix reading edge_step in autobk.
  • many improvements to json-serialization for Session files, and avoiding some recursion errors and problems saving some numpy arrays. Add serialization of uncertainties ufloats.
  • improvements and simplification of saving session files.
  • load_session() now obeys the order of groups supplied in xasgroups argument.
  • many improvements to xafsplots functions to use wmplot.yaml theme, and to better use relative z-order values.
  • plotting chi(E) now better includes the edge-step.

Other GUIs:

  • XRF Display: avoid flashing of ROI label

General development and maintenance:

  • update the minimum version of several required packages.
  • several updates to dependencies.
  • support for Python 3.9 is dropped.
  • remove IPython InteractiveShell calls
  • allow writing TOML file with tomli_w, but preferring yaml over toml.
