This 2.0 release is the last step, after a series of betas, of an almost complete rewrite of the app. It also coincides with the move of the NMR server at the institute to new infrastructure, so the default configuration has been updated to reflect that.
The most important changes in comparison to 1.8:
- Updated configuration for move to new server
- Significantly improved general reliability and robustness, thanks to the rewrite
- Refreshed the GUI with a better layout and options split into sections
- Added an option to check the current date ("today"), which updates accordingly
- Spectra are now always sorted into subfolders by sample (like Agilent spectra)
- Locations are now selected using the system file explorer
- Added the ability to set the server address from the GUI (useful on macOS and Linux)
- A "second user" field is now parsed separately and included in the saved folder name
- Various metadata (inc. solvent, instrument, temperature) are now extracted on all spectrometers
- Extracted metadata are now saved to the measurement folder in mora.toml
- The special "nmr" group has been replaced by an advanced/admin mode
- Much more configuration can now be done by admins via the TOML file
- Config files are now versioned to improve the upgrade process
- Bug report emails now also CC an email address configured in
config.toml - Restructured codebase means that the CLI and Python API can now work entirely independently of Qt/PySide/a GUI
- Updated command line interface, which is now much more robust than before
- Expanded and updated documentation
