PyDM v1.12

PyDM 1.12.0 Release Notes

This release adds several new features, including two new plugins designed to let you store and display client-side information in channels (local and calc plugins). A very frequently requested feature for multiple Y-axes in plot widgets has been added (making plots of multiple types of data much more usable). As usual, we've also found several bugs and fixed them.

Announcement: End of Python 2 compatibility

This is the last version that will run under Python 2. Many of the new features we want to implement (and the 3rd party libraries we depend on) are going Python 3 only, so we are no longer going to provide support for Python 2.
