Honeychrome v0.7.3

This release contains several new features, improvements and bug fixes.

Major new features

• AutoSpectral AF (the autofluorescence part of AutoSpectral) has been added in a new tab. This (optional) enhancement of the unmixing workflow is rapidly becoming the standard tool for fixing unmixing artifacts caused by variable autofluorescence.
• tabbed plugin system: Honeychrome now automatically loads plugins from a plugins folder; two example plugins included. Note that plugins are currently only available if Honeychrome is run in the Python environment (see installation instructions), not as a precompiled executable.
• 2D plots can now be shown as dot plots coloured by gate
• debug data: Honeychrome can send error/crash data if allowed by the user. Note that no personal identifiable information is collected or sent.

PyPi release

• You can now use Honeychrome in a Python environment, simply by issuing the command: "pip install honeychrome", then run "honeychrome" from the command line

Improvements

• better colourmap ranges to avoid saturation
• imported FCS files can now live anywhere: if they are not in the experiment folder, a symbolic link is set up from the experiment folder, so no more broken relative paths
• build system now produces executable installers for Linux (Ubuntu > 22.04), Windows (10, 11), and MacOs (Intel / ARM). Hopefully this will now cover (almost) everyone who had trouble running the previous executables

Bug fixes

• The spectral model editor previously had a bug that messed up adding new controls. Now fixed.
