v0.1.7: Location Improvements and Async Node Actions

What's Changed

• Improves support for passing Locations as arguments to nodes, including adding a locations section to the Action Definition in NodeInfo and including locations in automatic parsing
• Fixes some bugs in the Node action parsing and data return
• Refactors some of the internals of scheduling and the workcell manager, as well as changing some of the workcell server endpoints
• Node actions are now asynchronous by default, and return intermediate progress. Node clients can then send follow up requests to determine final action result. Added a await_result field of the send_action method to make running actions where we don't care about intermediate progress easier, as well as an await_action_result method that wraps get_action_result and continuously queries for a terminal result status.
• Refactored workcell scheduling to update step status with intermediate results
• Ported WEI dashboard to workcell manager as a temporary solution for debugging.

Initial Alpha Release of MADSci! 🎉 🎉 🎉

This initial alpha release includes:

• The madsci cli command, included in the madsci.client python package. This CLI command allows you to create, edit, and manage your MADSci-powered automated or autonomous laboratory.
• MADSci Nodes, an extension of the WEI Module standard, including a Rest Node implementation.
• the first draft of a number of MADSci Manager and corresponding Manager Client implementations. This includes some adopted from WEI subsystems (experiment, event, data, and workcell managers), as well as new functionality (the resource manager).
• A Docker image and pypi packages

As this is an Alpha release, expect there to be bugs, jankiness, missing or half-baked functionality, and other fun surprises. All APIs and interfaces are subject to change at any time without warning.

To provide feedback, open an issue, or leave a comment in the discussion for this release.
