xraypy/xraylarch: 2026.1.2

Published March 10, 2026 | Version 2026.1.2

Software Open

fixes to painful installation woes on MacOS with spglib (part of pymatgen).
Much better (maybe even "good") support for Dark vs Light Mode on MacOS and Windows. The.GUI applications, notably Larix, should be usable in both Dark and Light system modes and automatically switch if the mode changes while the program is running. There may be some lingering challenges, but the basically unusable cases of light text on a light background or dark text on a dark background should all be fixed. GUI applications other than Larix are less well-tested. And, almost no testing has been done on Linux with Dark mode.
