lifutils 1.7.8 and pyILPER final release

[jsi]

I published the final version of the LIFUTILS 1.7.8 and pyILPER 1.7.2 on GitHub.

pyILPER got some bug fixes and two new features:

• User defined keyboard shortcuts
• Tagging of scope log files
  

See the release notes and this post for further information.

pyILPER 1.7.2 is available on the ANACONDA channel by now. A

Code:


conda update --all

should update pyILPER to the latest version. See the installation instructions for further details.

The LIFUTILS got bug fixes and a comprehensive tutorial. The existing documentation was checked and updated. I hope that this will gain a better access to the software. See the revision history of the LIFUTILS for details of release 1.7.8.

I did tests with reading and writing HP9114 compatible floppy disks with the LIFUTILS, wich is only supported for LINUX. It proved that the results highly depend on the capabilities of the floppy drive and controller of the LINUX system. The findings were included in the tutorial.

Although not enforced by pyILPER I recommend everybody to update to the latest LIFUTILS version. See the installation instructions for details.

Many thanks to all who helped to test or improve this release!
