v1.0.4

• Updates the NeXus base classes following the release of NeXus v2024.02.

v1.0.3

• Opens files as read-only when initializing NXFile instances, in order to prevent h5py exceptions when other applications, e.g., those not using the nexusformat file-locking mechanism, have already opened the file. If write mode is requested, it is applied when performing I/O operations.
• Calculates the size of NXfield arrays as 64-bit integers to prevent overflow issues when the NumPy prod function uses 32-bit integers. On some systems, this has caused large arrays to be loaded into memory inadvertently.

v1.0.2

• Ensures lock files are released if opening a file with h5py triggers an exception.
• Fixes an incompatibility with tab completion and call tips in IPython 8.12.
• Allows additional arguments when coercing NXfields to NumPy arrays.
• Fixes docstrings.

v1.0.1

• Removes the restriction for values in the entries dictionary used to initialize a NXgroup instance to be NXfields or NXgroups. Any value that can be converted to a NXfield is now allowed.

v1.0.0rc6

• Converts path-like objects to strings when storing filenames in NXfields and creating external links.
• Fixes file modification time when restoring a backup.

v1.0.0

• Official release of v1.0.0.

v1.0.0rc5

• Final code tweaks before releasing v1.0.0.

v1.0.0rc4

• Fixes an issue with lock file directory permissions.

v1.0.0rc3

• Adds a human_size function to display the size of NXfields in human-readable form.
• Restores the NXgoniometer class.

v1.0.0rc2

• Adds requirement for the hdf5plugin package in order to enable additional compression filters.
