Pylake 1.6.0
============

.. only:: html

Here is an overview of features that were released in Pylake `v1.6.0`.

New example notebooks
---------------------

Three new notebooks were added to the documentation, with examples of full analysis workflows:
:doc:`Binding lifetime analysis</examples/binding_lifetime/binding_lifetime>`,
:doc:`hairpin fitting</examples/hairpin_fitting/hairpin_unfolding>` and
:doc:`phase separation</examples/droplet_fusion/droplet_fusion>`.

Bead-bead coupling correction
-----------------------------

When performing active calibration with two beads coupling effects can bias the estimated calibration parameters (force and displacement sensitivity, and the stiffness).
In Pylake 1.6.0, we include a model to account for bead-bead coupling between two beads in bulk.
See :ref:`theory<bead_bead_theory>` and :ref:`tutorial<bead_bead_tutorial>` and the :doc:`example</examples/bead_coupling/coupling>` for more information.

Force calibration
-----------------

We have introduced easier access to force calibration parameters and results.

Extracting the force calibration parameters required to reproduce the Bluelake calibration can now be done with a single command named :meth:`~lumicks.pylake.calibration.ForceCalibrationItem.calibration_params()`.

Similarly, the active calibration peak as well as the exclusion ranges can now be plotted with a single line of code.

The force calibration documentation has also been improved. See :ref:`tutorial<force_calibration_tutorial>` and :ref:`theory<force_calibration_theory>` for more information.
