Chris Satterlee / IV Swinger 2 - History

Add new features to global help (Issue #201)

Added sections for simulation and instances. Mentioned remote command feature in Preferences section.

Increase cooling-off period (Issue #200)

Changed the value of SSR_I_CAL_MAX_CONTINUOUS_CURR from 6.75 to 4.

Change "SSR" to "SSR/FET" in UI (Issue #199)

All user-visible references to SSR now also mention FET. Some, but not all of the internal names have also been changed.

Update DMG_background.jpg

Updated the last step of the instructions for newer MacOS releases. Also changed "Right-click" to "Control-click" in second step.

Explicitly specify PDF backend for matplotlib

Pyinstaller 5+ (thankfully) no longer defaults to loading all matplotlib backends. But for it to auto-detect the backend that we need, it has to be explicitly called out in the Python code.

This change imports the matplotlib "use" function and calls it with "pdf".

See https://pyinstaller.org/en/v5.0/hooks-config.html#matplotlib-hooks

Another update to build_tools README

Removed the pyinstaller workaround for the msgcat bug since it is no longer necessary

Update build_tools README

Removed instructions for modifying the pyinstaller hooks. It is no longer relevant.

Update python3 README

Fixed a couple things in the README:
- Removed bash profile setup for pyenv and replaced with pointer to instructions for all shells in pyenv repo
- Removed tcl/tk options from pyenv install command line since they are no longer needed

Log the ZMQ version

Added the PyZMQ version to the log file (no Issue filed)

Update build_tools README

All mention of Python 2 builds have been removed. The pyinstaller script command lines have the "python3" argument removed because the scripts no longer require an arg.

The path to the Mac pyinstaller hooks folder is updated.

A (Mac) step is added to apply a generic code signature. This is required for the downloaded app to be installed on newer MacOS versions without an actual code signature. [However, I don't even know if this works for versions newer than Monterey]

Added some additional acceptable warnings for Mac build.
