New Release of Taurus 5.4.0

We are pleased to announce the release of Taurus 5.4.0.

This release introduces support for Tango asynchronous event subscription modes. It also migrates the guiqwt dependency to plotpy, affecting all 2D widgets that rely on it. For the complete list of changes, please refer to the CHANGELOG

A big thank you to all contributors whose efforts made this release possible.

Release of PyTango 10.1.4

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that PyTango 10.1.4 is now available.

This is a patch release that fixes memory leaks affecting the 10.1.x series when used with Python 3.14 and newer. If you are running PyTango 10.1.x with Python 3.14+, we strongly recommend updating to this version as soon as possible.

New releases for PyTango: 10.0.4 and 10.1.3

Dear all,

PyTango 10.0.4 and 10.1.3 are now available.

These are patch releases. They include updated cppTango versions (10.0.4 and 10.1.2) with a fix for the Alarm event, bundled in the wheels.

Downloads:

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/pytango/

GitLab: https://gitlab.com/tango-controls/pytango/-/releases

conda-forge: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pytango.
Conda packages do not bundle cppTango, so upgrading cppTango provides the same fix.

Changelogs:

https://tango-controls.readthedocs.io/projects/pytango/en/v10.0.4/versions/news.html

https://tango-controls.readthedocs.io/projects/pytango/en/v10.1.3/versions/news.html

For more details, see the GitLab release pages.

Regards,
