==========================

Breaking Changes:
-----------------

- Passing arguments as positional arguments is deprecated for ``ParameterBase``, ``Parameter``,
  ``ArrayParameter``, ``DelegateParameter``, ``GroupParameter``, ``GroupedParameter``,
  ``MultiParameter``, ``MultiChannelInstrumentParameter``, ``ElapsedTimeParameter``,
  and ``InstrumentRefParameter``. Please pass all arguments except ``name`` as keyword arguments. (:pr:`7880`)


Improved:
---------

- Enabled setting shape of Measurement in measurement_extensions.py. Added `shapes` to DataSetDefinition and use it in setup_measurement_instances to set shape of measurement. Added new tests for new use cases. (:pr:`7891`)
