* 5.1.4 2026-01-20
** Build system
   - It is now possible to gives a CABALFLAGS on the command line.
     The haskell code was instrumented to support a new option
     useThreaded. This options is activated by default, but some
     architecture do not supporte threading, so in order to allow
     build and test on these architectures, is is possible to call
     configure like this.

     ./configure CABALFLAGS="-f -useThreaded"
   - remove old ICA files, used by the old maven build system.
** Binoculars (C-library)
   - Added support for double images.
   - Added the `hkl_binoculars_detectors_2d_img_load` in order to
     load rigaku img files. For now only uint16_t images.
   - Added the Rigaku XSPA 1M detector (RigakuXspa1M).
   - fixed the polarisation correction.
   - switch the photons array to float in order to deal with small corrections. (polarisation)
   - limit the stereo projection to the north pole.
** Binoculars-ng (Haskell program)
   - dispatcher.ncores = 0 mean: use all capabilities of the CPU hardware.
     The default remains equal to `4` if this property is not defined.
   - Projections
     - 'q_thetax_phix' -> latitude and longitude of q with qx as reference.
     - 'q_thetay_phiy' -> latitude and longitude of q with qy as reference.
     - 'q_thetaz_phiz' -> latitude and longitude of q with qz as reference.
   - DataSource
     - better error message when we do not find the data's. It display
       the faulty DataSourcePaths.
     - When opening a datafile, display the real DataSource of the DataFrame.
   - DataSource Image
     - support for double image from hdf5 files.
     - Added a constructor in order to read the Rigaku images.
       `DataSourcePath'Image'Img (Detector Hkl DIM2) (DataSourcePath Attenuation) Text Scannumber`
     - Added a new constructor for dummy images.
       DataSourcePath'Image'Dummy.

       this is usefull if you want to obtain a cube with the intensity
       corrections (polarisation) . Just set all the image pixels
       values to 1.0 and voilĂ .
** Documentation
   - Updated thanks to Didier Weirmeille from the ESRF
** Hkl3D (Anticollision)
  - switch from the g3d un-maintained library to assimp in order to
    read model files.
  - full rewrite of the configure file parser. (it should be more
    robust now).
** Gui
   - migrated from gtk3 to gtk4.
** Tests
   - binoculars-ng detectors tests are using sha256 in order to check
     mask and coordinates integrity. If you change a detector
     definition you need to update the sha256 fingerprint in the
     hkl-binoculars_t.c file.

     example of a failure:

     detector 9 fingerpring: 5c747478f67ad54485bc3502c825bff41c0934c94a0160179909c483d75f541a , expected: 49885be2c9cfea697b8f6a6e0c00f9dec687760a8b4cfdb4eda94af1014322ce
     not ok 3 - mask_get
* 5.1.3 2025-01-15
** Lib binoculars
   - it is now possible to mask a ring of n pixels around each module.
     Most of the times these pixel's statistics are bad.
** Binoculars-ng
   - Added float64 support for masks
   - It is possible to define a fall back for mask location with this
     syntax. `my_first_mask.npy | my_second_mask.npy`

* 5.1.0 2024-10-15
** General
   - 5.x runtime can be co-installed with the 4.x series.
   - hkl.h contain all the Public API.
   - A clear separation between the public and private API was
     achieved, in order to propose a Long Time Support of the
     5.x series.
   - c-tap-hardness library was embeded to provide the unit test
     framework.
   - gobject-instrospection provide the binding support. Look at this
     [[https://gi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/][page]] for more informations.
   - Documentation was generated with org-mode and asymptote for the figures.
   - New diffractometers added
     - APS POLAR thanks to Pete R. Jemian <jemian@anl.gov>.
     - E4CH (eulerian 4 circles horizontal) geometry.
     - MARS beamline (SOLEIL) eulerian 4 circles vertical geometry.
     - SOLEIL SIRIUS KAPPA
     - SOLEIL SIRIUS TURRET
   - New Pseudo Axes engines.
     - qper_qpar
   - A not yet public hkl3d library used only by the gui allow to
     compute (Bullet) and display (OpenGL) collision for model
     described using the COLLADA file format.
   - all private symbols are now hidden.
** Binoculars-ng
   - Added this new program in order to project 2D Detectors images in
     the hkl reciprocal space, qxqyqz, etc... It support for now a
     bunch of Soleil beamlines experiments (all SIXS geometries, MARS,
     CRISTAL and DIFFABS).
   - make it compile with ghc 9.6
   - Added support for mask per scan.
** Buildsystem
   - add a --disable-hkl3d flag to avoid hkl3d library compilation.
   - replace the --enable-ghkl with a --disable-gui.
   - use ./configure --help for all the options
** Gui
   - Rewriten using Gtk instead of Gtkmm, in order to minimise the
     required dependencies.
   - Added a 3D view to display diffractometers and collisions.
   - Added the K6C 3D model.
** Bindings
   - Provide the garantie via unit tests that the python API will be
     stable during all the 5.x lifetime.
   - For other languages look at [[https://gi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users.html][here]].
