Should be fine if the sasdata bit is

Everything here looks fine, but I have a few suggestions.

1. If sasdata.data_util.manipulations.py is no longer used, replace deprecate it.
2. To test the SasView build using unmerged changes in dependent repos, modify .github/workflows/ci.yml, replacing master in git clone --depth=50 --branch=master https://github.com/SasView/<repo>.git ../<repo> with the name of your branch, but be sure to revert back before merging.

@ehewins will you be willing to take a look on @krzywon suggestions? No worries if not - we need to know how to move forward with it.

Hi @wpotrzebowski , apologies about the lack of activity recently. I wish I could, but university work has completely taken over my life at the moment. I had wanted to do some more work on my unit test file in the other repo, and was up for doing this too, but I don't think I'll have time until several weeks from now.
Realistically I think your best option is to assume I won't be doing any more work on the area. I might surprise you all with a commit or two about a month from now though (if I can organise my time well enough).

[wpotrzebowski]

@krzywon will take a quick look at it

I have a commit to push here, but want to be sure the changes I made in SasView/sasdata#47 are acceptable, so I don't pollute two different PRs. The changes have to do with the file name change (from maniuplations_new.py to averaging.py).

[lucas-wilkins]

Needs to be updated to refer to averaging, not new_manipulations

[krzywon]

This PR and the associated one, SasView/sasdata#47, are ready for a full review. The CI for this PR points to the associated sasdata branch and should be changed prior to merging.

Using the requirements specified by this branch (following the setup guide) results in a problem for matplotlib 3.5.3 (matplotlib/matplotlib#24374)

Can be fixed by following the solution there (installing matplotlib 3.6.2). Assuming I followed the correct install procedure it may be necessary to update build_tools/requirements.txt to have matplotlib==3.6.2)

Note, this is not a problem for the built installer as it uses the appropriate version

Closing because too out of sync, not deleting branch though
