[803]2=========
[772]3
[1050]4Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
5
6* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
7 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
8 user interface.
9* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
10 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
[1051]11 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
[1050]12* Scantables can be merged
[1051]13* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
14 (This will change in 2.1)
15* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
[1050]16* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
[1051]17 (linear feeds only)
18* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
[1050]19* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
20* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
21* Can change the source position coordinate frame
22* Bug fixes
[1051]23* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
24* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
25* flagging on a per channel base
[1050]26
[1051]27
[803]28(Release 1.2.2)
29
30* channel based flagging
31* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
[1051]32* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
[803]33* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
34* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
35* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
36* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
37* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
38
39Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
40
41* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
42* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
43 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
44
45
[772]46Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
47
48Code changes
49------------
50* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
51* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
52* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
[803]53* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
[772]54 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
55* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
56* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
57* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
58* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
59* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
60* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
[803]61* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
[772]62 through ~/.asap/
63
64Todos/pending
65--------------
66* documentation update: should be finished by 2005-11-25
[803]67* cookbook
[772]68* release 1.2: 2005-11-30
69
70Major non-targets, resulting from requirements/targets
71-----------------------------------------------------
72* asap logging, which can be turned on and off through .asaprc/rcParams
73 (from asapmon)
74* Data container v2 design study and document ( moved from cycle II )
75
76Not Addressed
77-------------
78
79(deferred to cycle II, as described in support document)
80
81* Flexible data selection
82* "Merging of spectra" (concatenating scantables)
83
84* public defect tracking system
