QCoDeS 0.30.0 (2021-11-23)
==========================

New:
----

- A new ``DataSet`` type ``DataSetInMem`` has been added. This allows users to meassure without writing raw data to an sqlite database as well as to load netcdf files into a QCoDeS dataset. See `here <../examples/DataSet/InMemoryDataSet.ipynb>`__ and `here <../examples/DataSet/Exporting-data-to-other-file-formats.ipynb>`__. (:pr:`3094`)
- Added function ``get_channel_by_name`` to ``ChannelList`` class to get or or more channels in a ChannelList by name. (:pr:`3431`)
- The changelog for upcoming changes in the next release is now automatically build from fragments as part of the
  documentation. (:pr:`3451`)


Improved:
---------

- The QcoDeS monitor can now be launched directly from a console using by running `qcodes-monitor(.exe)` (:pr:`3475`)
- dond avoids setting setpoint parameters with values that are already set. This significantly improves
  the performance of the dond function in multi-dimensional measurements. (:pr:`3534`)
- doNd functions now manually wait the delay between setpoints instead of using parameters
  post_delay attribute. This change prevents unintentional slow downs in measurements when
  the step delay of a setpoint parameter is considerably lower than the delay between
  measurement step points that passed into doNd functions. (:pr:`3576`)
- It is now possible to configure the name of an exported files to include elements such as guid, sample_name and
  experiment_name. The default format has changed to include the captured_run_id and guid. (:pr:`3586`)


Improved Drivers:
-----------------

- Tektronix AWG70000 add support for 70001B and 70002B models. (:pr:`3438`)
- Added support for flags (auxiliary outputs) for Tektronix AWG70000 sequences (:pr:`3450`)
- The Galil documentation is now correctly included in the QCoDeS docs (:pr:`3452`)
- Improved the drivers for Keysight N51x1 and N51x3 signal generators by:

  - Adding explicit support for N5173B
  - Fixing the power range of N5183B
  - Fixing the frequency range options for N51x1 (:pr:`3555`)


Under the hood:
---------------

- The QCoDeS changelog is now being build using towncrier. (:pr:`3397`)
