Release v0.3.0

DesorptionLaserControl, v0.3.0

New features in this release:

• Position is not calculated anymore but read after each move
• All movements are threaded out and the GUI is locked during movement, in order to not click to hastily
• If a movement error occurs, an error message will be displayed
• Laser profiles can now be saved, which includes:
  • Minimum and maximum angles allowed for the current laser
  • Offset can be set: setting offset will home the stage!

Important:

If you had a v0.1.0 of the program installed, install the new software. Before starting it, go to your user folder and delete the config.json file in AppData\Roaming\DesorptionLaserControl\.

Behind the scenes changes:

• Features to set offset are incorporated into instrumentkit
• Homing is not threaded out and will set the timeout adequately to not result in an issue
