Dear Tango Community!
We are pleased to invite you to join the Sardana Workshop dedicated to the continuous scans.
Sardana Continuous Scans Workshop will be hosted by the SOLARIS and held on September 20th & 21st 2023. Speakers and attendees are welcome on-site but the sessions will be also accessible remotely.
The main goal of the meeting is to share experience in the field of continuous scans and to look for possible ways of collaboration. For that reason, we have also invited speakers of similar frameworks to contribute with presentations (Bliss, Bluesky, Flyscan - to be confirmed, DESY, PSI and Diamond).
As a secondary goal, we would like to discuss possible solutions for Sardana continuous scans missing features and discuss a roadmap for the eventual enhancement projects.
Please follow this link to register: https://indico.solaris.edu.pl/event/5/
We are looking forward to hearing about your experience and ideas with continuous scans.
Kind regards,
Michał on behalf of the organisation team

Dear TANGO community,
the registration for the 37th TANGO community meeting is now open.
The annual gathering of TANGO Controls developers and users will be hosted in the SKAO headquarters, near Manchester, UK, and remote participation is also possible in a hybrid format.
We will start on the 27th of June and the meeting will run for two and a half days. We will have the usual sessions for a status update from the different facilities, from the kernel development and from the various tools composing the TANGO ecosystem.
The program is still flexible and we wait for your abstract submissions in order to finalise the complete schedule.
We have identified some areas of focus where we encourage submission of abstracts: design of new TANGO-based systems and how they map to new application domains outside of synchrotron facilities, use of web based tools with TANGO, Software lifecycle management and CICD.
The agenda is flexible and we certainly can accommodate any topic of interest for the community, so don’t be afraid to submit your abstract!
The plan for the last half day is to run parallel workshops inspired by the discussions happening on the previous days.
At the side of the main meeting there will be chances to socialise during the social dinner and to explore the world of radio astronomy by visiting our neighbours at the Jodrell Bank Observatory.
Register at: https://indico.tango-controls.org/event/57/ and submit your abstract! -
In the TANGO Community there is a series of Specific Interest Group (SIG) Meetings that are hosted by different facilities from the TANGO Collaboration. Those meetings help to discuss and align specific topics that require development coordination between institutes.
In this one, we will discuss about new IDL v6 (the file that contains interface and data type library definitions in Tango) ; and which changes implies in the next TANGO major release.
The current list of topics is:
- Changes in IDL6
- New logging system
- New Alarm events
- Multidimensional arrays
- Multiple parameters in commands
- CI/CD and testing of the new release?The IDL6 file will be considered as the "deliverable" of the meeting.
The meeting will be held (locally and remotely) at ALBA Synchrotron (Barcelona, Spain)
Presentations and notes can be found at: https://indico.tango-controls.org/event/54/

First face-to-face Taranta meeting in Lecce (Italy) 3-4 June 2022
It's a pleasure to announce the first face-to-face Taranta meeting, the software for creating web-user interfaces for Tango.
The meeting will be hosted in Lecce (Italy) from 3 to 4 June 2022.
During the meeting, we will discuss the past, the present, and the future of Taranta; the role, the needs, and the contribution of the community; and how to make know and fully exploit the potential of Taranta.
Lecce is a symbolic city, in fact, the Taranta name has been inspired by Taranta which is a dance invented in Salento (Italian geographic region), and Lecce is one of the most beautiful Salento cities.
All contributions are very welcome! If you want to share your experience/needs with Taranta or with a Tango web interface in general, send a proposal using the Indico page.
All information and registration are available at the following link: https://indico.tango-controls.org/event/52/
The event will be hosted by INAF in collaboration with UniSalento and the Tango Collaboration. -
Carlos Pascual-Izarra, who has been the main maintainer of Taurus for many years, presented the 5th Tango Kernel Webinar which was dedicated to Taurus.

The webinar took place on Wednesday 27th April at 9:30 CEST (expecting to extend till 13:00 CEST).
The notes for the webinar can be found on the taurus wiki:

We are happy to announce the release of Taurus 5.0.0.
This is a major release that removes support of Python2 and Qt4 (we now support python >= 3.5 and the PyQt5 and PySide2 bindings). Other than that there should not be any other backwards incompatibility between 5.x and 4.x (we intentionally avoided enforcing the pending deprecations of 4.x even if this is a major version bump) so:if something works on taurus 4.8 using python3 and Qt5 and it does not work in taurus 5, please report it as a bug
Note for developers: the API documentation has been improved: classes and other members which are not "public" are no longer included in the API docs while all public members should now be included.
This release also improves the module loading times in some situations, and it provides a long-awaited feature: installation-independent config files (no more need of editing tauruscustomsettings.py)
The source files can be downloaded from:
https://pypi.org/project/taurus/5.0.0/The documentation (including installation instructions for different platforms) is available at:

Dear Tangoers,
Registration and abstracts submission for the 35th Tango Community Meeting are offcicially open.
This two half-days event will be held on September 14th and 15th from 13:30 to 18:30 (CEST). Due to the pandemic situation - and the potential fourth wave - our meeting will be purely virtual.
This year, the "projects status" session is opened to any kind of projects - from the biggest to the smallest ones. Our wish is to give anyone a chance to present his/her work to the community - whatever is the size and/or complexity of the related project.
The classical Kernel and Tango Ecosystem sessions will also be part of our agenda. By "ecosystem" we mean any Tango-related tool of interest for the community - e.g., language binding, web-technologies, archiving, control system administration, large scale logging, ...
We also propose a session providing the comminity members with an opportunity to share their Tango user experience.
Several talk formats will be proposed - from 5 minutes "I'd like to let you know" pitches to 15' deeper presentations.
Please, don't hesitate to submit a talk proposal with a short abstract describing your contribution.
We are looking forward to discover the latest news from the community.
N. Leclercq, R. Bourtembourg, A. Gotz.

We are happy to announce the release of Taurus 4.8.0.
This release is relatively modest in terms of new functionality
for the end-user because most of the effort was focused on
project migration to gitlab.com and other developer-oriented
improvements.This is the last release supporting python2 and Qt4. Work has already begun
to prepare the next major version (taurus 5) and therefore taurus 4.8 will
likely be the last in the 4.x series (no new features are expected to land
on the 4.x series after this release).For those installing with conda, please note that taurus and all its
dependencies are now distributed via the conda-forge channel:`conda install -c conda-forge taurus taurus_pyqtgraph`
The source files can be downloaded from:
https://pypi.org/project/taurus/4.8.0/
The documentation (including installation instructions for different platforms) is available at:
