The April 2021 release of QCoDeS.
- get_data_by_id no longer returns data for standalone parameters if there are no dependent parameters in the dataset. For the same reason plot_by_id and plot_dataset will no longer plot these standalone parameters. (#2918)
- xarray exported data no longer exports extra metadata columns under the extra_metadata tag since the extra dictionary level prevents exporting to netcdf (#2934)
- get_data_by_id and get_shaped_data_by_runid are now deprecated. These functions now all have better alternatives in the build in get_parameter_data as well as Xarray and Pandas exporters. (#2921, #2925)
