[Bornagain-announcements] Release 1.19

[Joachim Wuttke]

BornAgain 1.19.0 has been released.

Installers for Windows and Mac and a source archive for Linux are at 
https://bornagainproject.org/ext/files/master. The default Python version has 
been increased to 3.9.

This release improves various parts of the code.

The reflectometry data import GUI has been reworked, and q scans now allow for a 
constant offset to account for instrument imperfections.

In the API, some class and function names has changed for the sake of clarity 
and uniformity. Most notably, “Lattice” has become “Lattice3D”, in analogy with 
“Lattice2D”.

Example scripts have been streamlined, and the web docs have been reorganized.

As always, several bugs have been fixed.

For details, see the CHANGELOG.

This is the last release with contributions by Gennady Pospelov who will leave 
Forschungszentrum Jülich by the end of this month. Gennady has been a lead 
developer of BornAgain since the project started in 2012. We are very grateful 
to him for his outstanding work.

Continuity of development is assured. Two new developers will join the team in 
April and May 2021. Please bear with us if the transition entails some delays in 
answering questions and resolving issues.

- Joachim
