Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for mxcube/mxcubecore: Focused on stabilizing configuration loading and device communication. Delivered YAML-compatible configuration loading, refactored data reading across hardware objects, and enhanced XMLRPCServer logging for improved diagnostics. Fixed critical robustness issues in Tango name retrieval and video_mode access within polling, and improved Defreezing Gripper state logging with a shorter, more reliable unload path by removing redundant wait. These changes improve reliability, reduce troubleshooting time, and support YAML-based configuration workflows.
