4Minor Release 2.1.1 [2006-11-09]
5
6* fix for Ticket #88 - numpy masks
7* better TAB completion for ipython (handles quotes, don't list private members)
8* Fix for Ticket #81 = scanatble.stats output as list
9* ticket #64 - speed up of auto_poly_baseline
10* fix for ticket #89 - export of IF sub-selections
11* fix for Ticket #83 - export to ms2 crashed asap
12* added file suffix support for name.rpf.1 etc.
13
14Release Version 2.1.0 [2006-09-11]
15
16* Processing of Multibeam MX data
17* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
18* median averaging
19* support of circular polarisations
20* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
21* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter
22* export of fit parameters to text file
23* disk based scantables for large data sets
24* re-introduced custom quotients
25* fixed major fitter bug
26* fft flagging
27* full support for MOPS data
28
29Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
30
31* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
32 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
33 user interface.
34* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
35 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
36 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
37* Scantables can be merged
38* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
39 (This will change in 2.1)
40* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
41* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
42 (linear feeds only)
43* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
44* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
45* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
46* Can change the source position coordinate frame
47* Bug fixes
48* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
49* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
50* flagging on a per channel base
51
52
53(Release 1.2.2)
54
55* channel based flagging
56* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
57* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
58* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
59* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
60* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
61* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
62* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
63
64Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
65
66* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
67* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
68 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
69
70
71Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
72
73Code changes
74------------
75* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
76* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
77* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
78* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
79 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
80* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
81* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
82* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
83* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
84* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
85* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
86* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
87 through ~/.asap/
88
89Todos/pending
90--------------
91* documentation update: should be finished by 2005-11-25
92* cookbook
93* release 1.2: 2005-11-30
94
95Major non-targets, resulting from requirements/targets
96-----------------------------------------------------
97* asap logging, which can be turned on and off through .asaprc/rcParams
98 (from asapmon)
99* Data container v2 design study and document ( moved from cycle II )
100
101Not Addressed
102-------------
103
104(deferred to cycle II, as described in support document)
105
106* Flexible data selection
107* "Merging of spectra" (concatenating scantables)
108
109* public defect tracking system
