v0.0.17

This is a small bugfix release: it removes __set__ from ActionDescriptor so that it returns to being a "non-data descriptor". This doesn't change LabThings in normal use, but it makes certain things easier in testing.

What's Changed

• Move __set__ from BaseDescriptor to FieldTypedBaseDescriptor by @rwb27 in #274
• Version bump by @rwb27 in #276

This release tidies up quite a few things internally, and adds some new features. It replaces v0.0.15 which introduced a bug that has now been fixed in #269.

v0.0.12

What's Changed

This release includes significant tidying-up of both the codebase and the documentation, as well as a significant change, which is the move away from using FastAPI dependencies in Thing code.

Updating to v0.0.12 will require migration for Things written using previous versions of LabThings. Most old features are deprecated rather than removed, so it should be possible to migrate code gradually (except for the renamed lt.thing_action and lt.fastapi_endpoint which have had their prefixes removed). See the discussion in #194 for more details.
