[Bornagain-announcements] BornAgain 21.0 released

[Joachim Wuttke]

BornAgain 21.0 has been released.

It brings mainly bug fixes and other small improvements,
but also some functionality extension.

A loader for Motofit MFT data is provided, and the
CSV loader is made more versatile. The Graphical sample
editor got a button for copying sample elements.
Python support is extended to 3.11.

All GUI project files and most Python scripts from
release 20 will continue to work. There is one important
change to Python scripting though:
The line bp.parse_args(sim_n=...) has been removed from
all examples, and support for argument sim_n will be
dropped in some future release.

Examples have been moved to directory auto/Examples/,
as developers generate them from internal sources
(in directory rawEx/) using a macro processor.

Example varia/MaterialProfile.py now demonstrates
plotting a magnetization profile besides the SLD profile.

This software release is accompanied by a new version
of the BornAgain Physics Reference, a PDF document that
describes some of the physics implemented in BornAgain.

Best greetings from the BornAgain maintainer team:

Ammar Nejati, Mikhail Svechnikov, Joachim Wuttke
