Xcoll release 0.5.12

What's Changed

• Important bugfix in dechanneling length calculation
• Pencil on a crystal is now always on the upstream jaw, irrespectively of tilt

Develop Updates

• Homogenised lost particle state code names
• Added BaseEngine for later reference when including Fluka and Geant4
• Added some xaux tools literally in case the xaux dependency cannot be resolved

Full Changelog: v0.5.11...v0.5.12

Xcoll release 0.5.11

What's Changed

• New convergence check in for pencil beam taking collimator tilt into account. Careful, this might not work correctly when both jaws have different tilts (by @gbrogginess in #121)
• Added a gemitt view to BaseCollimator and BaseCrystal

Develop Updates

• Restructured lossmap test to allow easy extenstion for FLUKA and Geant4 later
• Fix warning messages for deprecated functions
• Fix typo in assign_optics function in line_tools.py

Full Changelog: v0.5.10...v0.5.11

Xcoll release 0.5.10

What's Changed

• Bugfix in tilt assignment from CollimatorDatabase
• Changed jaw nested list logic: now it is jaw=[[LU,LD], [RU,RD]]

Develop Updates

• Small changes in release scripts to be compatible with new Xaux

Full Changelog: v0.5.9...v0.5.10

Xcoll release 0.5.9

Develop Updates

• Moved release API to xaux (code centralisation) to ensure version pinning

Full Changelog: v0.5.8...v0.5.9

Xcoll release 0.5.8

Develop Updates

• Bugfix in crystals: the only_mcs flag was not set for crystals. Hence, when it was being queried it often wrongly evaluated to True, skipping the the code that follows where the other material-dependent parameters were defined. The rest of material-dependent parameters hence became garbage, leading to wrong results. This bugfix has been spotted by @chiaramaccani and accidentally fixed by @[email protected]
• Adapted df.groupby in interaction_record to be future-proof with pandas

Full Changelog: v0.5.7...v0.5.8

Xcoll release 0.5.7

Develop Updates

• Bugfix in collimator class organisation

Full Changelog: v0.5.6...v0.5.7

Xcoll release 0.5.6

What's Changed

• Added generate_pencil() and generate_delta() to collimator elements (and deprecated xcoll.generate_pencil_on_collimator() and xcoll. generate_delta_from_dispersion())

Develop Updates

• Bugfix in gh.py
• Test reorganisation (to deal with issues with Xsuite automatic testing)
• Bugfix in collimator installation (gave issues with K2)

Full Changelog: v0.5.5...v0.5.6

Xcoll release 0.5.5

What's Changed

• Implemented new API on the line, providing (for now) the following functions:
  • line.collimators.assign_optics()
  • line.collimators.open()
  • line.collimators.to_parking()
  • line.scattering.enable()
  • line.scattering.enable()

Develop Updates

• Updated tests and examples for new API
• Fixed test__list_tests by giving it a recognisable path

Full Changelog: v0.5.4...v0.5.5

Xcoll release v0.5.4

What's Changed

• Faster initial conditions generation (Twiss by @simoneotelie in #103)

Develop Updates

• Tests and examples for the impact table
• Edge effects in MCS align to edge (for correct exit locations)
• Bugfix in EverestCrystal which would make particle get stuck in an (almost) infinite amount of transition or VR effects
• Bugfix in EverestCrystal that would make some jobs fail channeling (Fixed part0 bug by @chiaramaccani in #106)
• Bugfix in ionisation loss which was calculated at the wrong location (Ionization loss and critical angle by @simoneotelie in #94)
• Amorphous and mcs by @simoneotelie in #95
• CollimatorManager deprecated (raises error)
• New release script, fully in Python (with built-in API to git, github, and poetry)
• Added boilerplate XcollLineAPI, to allow Xcoll methods on the line (need PR xsuite/xtrack#536 first)

Full Changelog: v0.5.3...v0.5.4

Xcoll release 0.5.3

Develop Updates

• Bugfix in BlowUp and EmittanceMonitor (previous version did double install if name of element already present in line), and adapted tests accordingly
• Small change in BlackCrystal test to catch an edge case that was wrong

Full Changelog: v0.5.2...v0.5.3
