Changes to mention

Genie_python command to set DAE simulation mode
Oxford instruments 7.5T Magnet
Add get_instrument_name and get_instrument_py_name to genie python
Make spangle banner configurable and add bump strip statuses for zoom
Add IP macro to HVCAEN
Improve motionsetpoints
Couette cell IOC
Add aliases for external temperature setpoint on julabo
Add ability to set control mode on Julabo
Add additional event mode information PVs
Fix memory leak in MK3 Chopper IOC
PyDev Console keeps history across sessions
Synoptics with only one component can show beam
Allow option to either add to existing plot or create a new plot when right clicking a block
Allow plotting multiple PVs
Improved error message when beginning whilst running
Added column sorting on most tables in the GUI.
TPG300 and JulaboFP50 OPI graphs update on heartbeat, updated TPG300 layout
Improve update time for DAE parameters
Reduced logging for repeated messages on stream devices
Fix spectra freeze
reflect setting low level motor values in higher level
Reduce logging when disconnected
Shared python area: git hook to check committer is not spudulike
Windows control characters in genie_python paths no longer prevent DAE tables from loading
Ideas for sharing code between instrument scientists
Inform the user that load() may not be the function they were expecting

Fix potential issues possibly leading to an accidental ramp.
Fixed importing between instrument scripts.
Fix a GUI issue affecting spectra plots.
Format values the same way on the web dashboard as the GUI.
Read in ISIS calibration files which can contain metadata including units. Allows us to run the eurotherm with sensor calibrated in degrees Celsius.
DAE Run information tab, Period Duration now shows correct value.
Add additional event mode parameters to the DAE run information tab
Added Ctrl+C to interrupt a script in the scripting perspective.
Added option to switch to new config when using "save as" in edit current config.
Redirect error from PV disconnect to genie_python log
On config change, only restart GWBLOCK if needed

Generally happy with IBEX performance.

graphing: would like to be able to plot directly from python script into IBEX graph window, also not to have problem that matplotlib hangs rest of python. Adam has a workaround for this. My not need full matplotlib functionality, needs to be coordinated with reflectometry work
synoptic: the slits OPI on device screens works, but not if activated via the synoptic. They had a similar issue with another piece of equipment and Dom needed to fix the synoptic XML. Can upgrade script check this?
ZOOM hope to be entering user run at end of year
We will need to read various signals into IBEX from items involved in the safety system, work is in progress but we need to make sure the right sort of signals are being generated.
Would like live view window in IBEX, potentially confusing for users having it in Mantid
Would like Ctrl-C in IBEX scripting window
Would like the shutter status to be clearer, e.g. in red on the spangle banner or more visible on the dashboard.
Would also like a "shutter closed" warning in a cycle after 5 minutes of a run if the shutter is closed. This could be delivered as a slack notification.
Both scientists did not appear to know about slack notifications for instruments - does this need more publicity?
Zoom reported that spectra plots still freeze.
Both scientists explained how the "GO", "STOP", etc. buttons on the motor OPI are confusing to users.
