April 2025 SasView/sasview: Delivered foundational data-model and UI data-flow improvements, enabling a single source of truth and property-based data access with automatic GUI refresh on data changes. Implemented a basic threading scaffold for calculations to support asynchronous workflows, and standardized dmax naming across the codebase. Expanded data structures with dataclasses and properties to improve reliability, initialization logic for invertor, and clearer calculation outputs. Implemented explicit output display and collection post-calculation, along with GUI update flows and initial-value fixes to enhance stability. Added UI formatting enhancements (float formatter and extra decimal place) for clearer presentation. Overall, these changes improve reliability, maintainability, user experience, and enable scalable data analyses.
