browser: subclass _ArgumentEditor as EntryTreeWidget

Follow Python 3.8.

@@ -39,12 +39,17 @@ Highlights:
    - Hotkeys now organize experiment windows in the order they were last interacted with:
       + CTRL+SHIFT+T tiles experiment windows
       + CTRL+SHIFT+C cascades experiment windows
+* Datasets can now be associated with units and scale factors, and displayed accordingly in the dashboard
+  including applets, like widgets such as ``NumberValue`` already did in earlier ARTIQ versions.
+* Experiments can now request arguments interactively from the user at any time.
 * Persistent datasets are now stored in a LMDB database for improved performance.
 * Python's built-in types (such as ``float``, or ``List[...]``) can now be used in type annotations on
   kernel functions.
-* Full Python 3.10 support.
+* Full Python 3.11 support.
 * MSYS2 packaging for Windows, which replaces Conda. Conda packages are still available to
   support legacy installations, but may be removed in a future release.
+* Experiments can now be submitted with revisions set to a branch / tag name instead of only git hashes.
+* Grabber image input now has an optional timeout.

 Subkernels are compiled after the main kernel, and then immediately uploaded to satellites. When called, master instructs the appropriate satellite to load the subkernel into their kernel core and to run it. If the subkernel is complex, and its binary relatively big, the delay between the call and actually running the subkernel may be substantial; if that delay has to be minimized, ``subkernel_preload(function)`` should be used before the call.
 
 While ``self`` is accepted as an argument for subkernels, it is embedded into the compiled data. Any changes made by the main kernel or other subkernels, will not be available.

+Message passing
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Subkernels besides arguments and returns, can also pass messages between each other or the master with built-in ``subkernel_send()`` and ``subkernel_recv()`` functions. This can be used for communication between subkernels, passing additional data, or partially computed data. Consider the following example: ::
+
+    from artiq.experiment import *
+
+    @subkernel(destination=1)
+    def simple_message() -> TInt32:
+        data = subkernel_recv("message", TInt32)
+        return data + 20
+
+    class MessagePassing(EnvExperiment):
+        def build(self):
+            self.setattr_device("core")
+
+        @kernel
+        def run(self):
+            simple_self()
+            subkernel_send(1, "message", 150)
+            result = subkernel_await(simple_self)
+            assert result == 170
+
+The ``subkernel_send(destination, name, value)`` function requires three arguments: destination, name of the message that will be linked with the ``subkernel_recv()``, and the passed value. 
+
+The ``subkernel_recv(name, type, [timeout])`` function requires two arguments: message name (matching the name provided in ``subkernel_send``) and expected type. Optionally, it accepts a third argument - timeout for the operation in milliseconds. If the value is negative, timeout is disabled. The default value is no timeout. 
+
+The "name" argument in both ``send`` and ``recv`` functions acts as a link, and must match exactly between the two for a successful message transaction. The type of the value sent by ``subkernel_send`` is checked against the type declared in ``subkernel_recv`` with the same name, to avoid misinterpretation of the data. The compiler also checks if all subkernel message names have both a sending and receiving functions to help with typos. However, it cannot help if wrong names are used - the receiver will wait only for a matching message for the duration of the timeout.
+
+A message can be received only when a subkernel is running, and is put into a buffer to be taken when required - thus whatever sending order will not cause a deadlock. However, a subkernel may timeout or wait forever, if destination or names do not match (e.g. message sent to wrong destination, or under different than expected name even if types match).
