ReleaseNotes.txt

## pending/current ##

- General:
    - Introduce qupulse.utils.isclose (an alias for math.isclose if available)
    - Dropped support for Python 3.4 in setup.py due to incompatible syntax in qupulse.
    - Official support for Python 3.7 has begun.

- Pulse Templates:
    - `AtomicMultichannelPulseTemplate`:
        - Add duration keyword argument & example (see MultiChannelTemplates notebook)
        - Make duration equality check approximate (numeric tolerance)
    - Plotting:
        - Add `time_slice` keyword argument to render() and plot()

- Expressions:
    - Make ExpressionScalar hashable
    - Fix bug that prevented evaluation of expressions containing some special functions (`erfc`, `factorial`, etc.)

- Parameters:
    - `ConstantParameter` now accepts a `Expression` without free variables as value (given as `Expression` or string)

## 0.2 ##

- General:

    - officially removed support for Python 3.3 (qupulse and dependencies are not compatible anymore)

- Serialization / Storage:

    - Added functionality to easily access available content/identifiers in `PulseStorage` and `StorageBackend`.
    - DEPRECATED `list_contents()` of `StorageBackend` (use `contents property` instead).
    - DEPRECATED: `CachingBackend` because its functionality is a subset of `PulseStorage`.

- Expressions:
    - Fixed bug in `Expression.evaluate_numeric` if result is array of numeric sympy objects
