QCoDeS 0.51.0

QCoDeS 0.51.0 (2025-02-14)

Breaking Changes:

• The deprecated and non functional function qcodes.test() has been removed. (Remove deprecated noop qcodes.test #6665)

Improved:

• DelegateParameter now includes validators of its source Parameter into its validators. This ensures that a DelegateParameter
  with a non numeric source parameter is registered correctly in a measurement when the DelegateParameter it self does not
  set a validator. (Enable building of docs using 3.13 #6585)
• Fix a regression introduced in 0.50.0 where a DelegateParameter initialized with a None source
  would not correctly call get/set on the source parameter when this has been set. (Fix bug: delegate parameter doesn't call its source to get value #6671)
• When passing bind_to_instrument=False to InstrumentBase.add_parameter a warning that
  recommends not doing this is now raised suggesting a better alternative.
  This replaces an existing inconsistent warning which was misleading. (Fix delegate parameter warning #6722)
• Only add magnet parameters if a magnet is detected in the Oxford Triton driver. (Oxford Triton driver: only add magnet parameters if one is present #6792)

Improved Drivers:

• Enabled use of ZNLE R&S VNA by recognizing the model name in RohdeSchwarzZNBBase, and creating an ZNLE## class as an alias (Enable Rohde&Schwarz ZNLE VNA #6796)
