MagSurveyPy: Archaeological Magnetometry Prospection Suite

MagSurveyPy v1.0.3 is a small terminal-compatibility and installation-documentation patch release.

Changes

• Terminal banner now follows the terminal's default foreground colour instead of forcing black text.
• Banner visibility is improved on both dark and light terminal themes.
• Windows installation guidance now recommends an isolated Miniconda or Anaconda environment with MagSurveyPy installed from PyPI using pip.
• macOS installation guidance uses the same Conda-environment + PyPI workflow.
• Direct pip installation remains supported.

Scientific compatibility

There are no intended changes to scientific processing algorithms, numerical defaults, interpolation mathematics, filtering mathematics, georeferencing, native data decoding, or quantitative GIS behaviour relative to v1.0.2.
