5.4.0

• Add training exercises to the tutorials

• Support quantification accounting for live time when using HDF5 files

• Add higher order excitation example to the training data

• Use silx toolkit for graphics

• Allow the user to select a particular Qt binding (--binding option, default is PyQt5 use --binding=PyQt4 for old binding)

• Implement a user selectable logging level (--logging option, default is warning)

• Correct handling of repeated elements in the sample matrix

• Correct readout of lispix data

5.3.2

This is a minor release motivated by the difficulties encountered to build PyMca under Python 3.7 due to the presence of generated, incompatible, cython code.

• Fix build issues under Python 3.7

• Fix numpy 1.14.x deprecation warnings

• Continue the documentation improvements

5.3.1

• PyMcaMainWindow. Correct error trying to use HDF5 files with only top level datasets.
