[Pvmanager-devel] PVManager 0.5 released

[Carcassi, G. <car...@bn...>]

Hi all,

 

Making an official release of PVManager, so that is aligned with the
soon to come CSS Core release.

 

Main work in these past months have been testing the JCADataSource with
long term usage and several connects/disconnects to make sure resources
are not leaks and creating some kind of pattern for expressions that
need to be changed at runtime (so that they don't require a reconnect).
For the last, the Waterfall plot parameters can now be changed at
runtime, so that the plot is automatically updated at the next
notification and uses all previous data; the second example is a group
of expressions that can be changed (add/remove expressions, which are
connected and disconnected appropriately) which is then used for a
table, but (given that gets expressions and not channels) could be used
in more complicated scenarios.

 

Changes since last release:

* JCADataSource: adding monitor mask as parameter

* JCADataSource: monitors and listeners are now properly disposed

* Core: can specify how max amount of latest values to queue

* Waterfall plot: can change parameters dynamically

* Waterfall plot: can scroll up or down, can change background color

* Waterfall plot: advanced based on time, not notifications. If values
arrive out of order or late, the plot is fixed accordingly

* DynamicGroup: an expression that returns the result of list of
expressions that can be edited dynamically

* Misc bugfixes
