PyDM v1.15.0 Release Notes

This release includes new features and a number of bug fixes.

Feature of note:

A big feature in this release was the addition of displaying time plots and waveform plots as bar graphs.

Two bug fixes of note:

The initial value and expression set in the PyDM Widget Rules Editor will be ignored while in Designer.
The default for the PyDMSlider mouse wheel has been changed to be disabled by default. So now one would have to change the ignoreMouseWheel property to False for mouse wheel functionality to be available.
