Last pre-DataSet release
Changelog for QCoDeS 0.1.9
This release changes the API of Parameters in QCoDeS, reducing the amount of Parameter classes. It also introduces tests for VisaInstrument drivers via the PyVISA-sim backend.
Note: This is the last QCoDeS release before the new dataset and as such it will be the last QCoDeS release to support python 3.5.
