We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of PyTango 10.1.2.

PyTango 10.1.0 and 10.1.1 contain a regression in change event and archive event configuration on devices (see the related issue on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/tango-controls/pytango/-/issues/740). This regression would be noticeable by clients such as Taurus and Taranta – however, the problem on the device server side, not the client.

We strongly recommend upgrading to version 10.1.2 if you are currently using any 10.1.x release.

PyTango 10.1.2 is available from:

• PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/pytango/
• Conda (conda-forge): https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pytango
• GitLab release: https://gitlab.com/tango-controls/pytango/-/releases/v10.1.2

The documentation is available on Read the Docs: https://tango-controls.readthedocs.io/projects/pytango/en/v10.1.2/versions/news.html

For full details, please refer to the GitLab release page and the updated documentation.

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of a new release candidate for the upcoming cppTango release 10.3.0.

This release comes with new features for device server telemetry, improving the support for the OpenTelemetry standard.

An important breaking change regarding the class factory mechanism: device servers are now required to subclass the DServer class in order to override the virtual class_factory member function. The derived class should later be registered using Util::register_dserver_constructor. The latest version of Pogo is able to regenerate your server with this new mechanism.

The code base also has been refactored widely to have basically one class per file, thus affecting the public include files. Users of the "tango/tango.h", and users of Pogo, should not be affected though.

The licensing of the project and its files has been clarified, so please check the new file headers if you are concerned.

As always, there are bug fixes.

Detailed release notes are being updated as tracked on GitLab.

The Tango Controls Collaboration status was brilliantly presented by our two 'heavy-weights' in the kernel development community - Thomas aka TJ and Yury.

We are pleased to announce the release of Taurus 5.3.0. The main highlight of this release is support for Qt6.
