QCoDeS 0.41.0

QCoDeS 0.41.0 (2023-10-18)

Breaking Changes:

• The deprecated modules
  qcodes.data, qcodes.loop, qcodes.actions, qcodes.plots,
  qcodes.measure, qcodes.extensions.slack, qcodes.utils.magic, qcodes.utils.qt_helpers
qcodes.utils.slack has been removed.
  The modules can be found in qcodes_loop <https://github.com/qcodes/qcodes_loop>_ (#5367)
• Update QCoDeS to work with the upcoming release of numpy 2.0.
  The unused attributes qcodes.utils.types.numpy_non_concrete_floats_instantiable and
  qcodes.utils.types.numpy_non_concrete_complex_instantiable have been removed from QCoDeS. (#5399)
• The extra install targets qcodes[slack] and qcodes[qtplot] have been removed.
  All dependencies on slack and pyqtgraph have moved to qcodes_loop. (#5425)

New:

• QCoDeS now exports data that isn't measured on a grid to a XArray using MultiIndex.
  Support for exporting these datasets to NetCDF has also been implemented.
  See this notebook <../examples/DataSet/Working-With-Pandas-and-XArray.ipynb>__ for additional details. (#5334)
• Add a register_name keyword to the ParameterBase constructor. If supplied, this value
  will be used to register parameters in datasets instead of the default full_name.
  Note that the MultiParameter and ArrayParameter classes do not currently support use
  of the register_name. (#5381)
• Large datasets are now exported to NetCDF4 using Dask delayed writer.
  This avoids allocating a large amount of memory to process the whole dataset at the same time.
  Size threshold at the moment is set to approximately 1 GB. (#5391)
• The QCoDeS Parameters have now gained the ability to use multiple validators.
  See here <../examples/Parameters/Parameters.ipynb>__ for examples of how to use this. (#5426)
