prepare for release 0.7.10

doc/HISTORY.rst

+v0.7.10
+-------
+
+Contributors: Jerome Carnis, Philipp Middendorf, Ivan De Gennaro Aquino
+
+- Refactor the `DevicePicoscale` implementation.
+
+- Bug: compare the user-defined value in inputs fields of exposed methods to the
+  defined limits. Previously limits applied only to the widget arrows.
+
+- Create the `EigerSwTrigger` and `EigerSwScanner` classes, to allow scans with the
+  Eiger using a software trigger.
+
+- Create a new widget `MethodEnabledByAttributeWidget`, where the input field of the
+  exposed method can be enabled/disabled by an external boolean attribute.
+
+- Upgrade the `pint` library to 0.19.2 (this new version supports `inf`). As a
+  consequence, Kamzik3 does not support any more Python 3.7.
+
+- Refactor: move `snippetsUnits.device_units` to `Device.to_device_unit` and add unit
+  tests.
+
+- Implement the `DummyTangoDevice`. It takes the expected Tango attributes and methods
+  names in the config file. It is useful when one needs to mock the Tango devices.
+
+- Add the option to provide a step-size in the config file for the
+  `DeviceNumAttributeWidget`. This is useful for motors where the default step size
+  should be smaller than the default (e.g. risk of collision).
+
+- Add snippet `update_saved_attributes.h5` to update the fields in an existing
+  `saved_attributes.h5` file without losing the existing records.
