Features

• Add [evaluate_with_exact_rationals]{.title-ref} method to
  [ExpressionScalar]{.title-ref}
  (#546)
• New feature based AWG abstraction. Can be found in
  [qupulse.hardware.feature_awg]{.title-ref}. Allows easier code reuse
  across awg drivers.
  (#557)
• Add ConstantPulseTemplate
  (#565)
• Add interface to use [atsaverage]{.title-ref} auto rearm
  (#566)
• Adds the methods [is_constant]{.title-ref},
  [constant_value_dict]{.title-ref} and [constant_value]{.title-ref}
  to Waveform class to allow more efficient AWG usage.
  (#588)

Bugfixes

• Fix TimeType comparisons with non-finite floats (inf, -inf, NaN)
  (#536)

Improve alazar usability:

:   -   Do not touch the default config when arming a measurement
    -   Keep current config in a seperate field
    -   Extend record to a multiple of a configurable value (4KB by
        default)
        ([\#571](https://github.com/qutech/qupulse/issues/571))

• Replace pytabor and teawg with tabor_control to support
  newer(>=1.11) pyvisa versions
  (#599)

• Fix [repr]{.title-ref} of [ExpressionScalar]{.title-ref} when
  constructed from a sympy expression. Also replace
  [Expression]{.title-ref} with [ExpressionScalar]{.title-ref} in
  [repr]{.title-ref}.
  (#604)

Deprecations and Removals

• Deprecate HashableNumpyArray due to its inconsistency.
  (#408)
• Drop support for python 3.5
  (#504)
• Remove deprecated [external_parameters]{.title-ref} keyword argument
  from SequencePT and AtomicMultiChannelPT
  (#592)
• Deprecate boolean [duration]{.title-ref} argument of
  [AtomicMultiChannelPulseTemplate]{.title-ref} and remove duration
  check in [__init__]{.title-ref}.
