2=========
3Release Version 2.1 [2006-09-11]
4
5* Processing of Multibeam MX data
6* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
7* median averaging
8* support of circular polarisations
9* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
10* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter
11* export of fit parameters to text file
12* disk based scantables for large data sets
13* re-introduced custom quotients
14* fixed major fitter bug
15* fft flagging
16* full support for MOPS data
17
18Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
19
20* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
21 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
22 user interface.
23* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
24 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
25 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
26* Scantables can be merged
27* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
28 (This will change in 2.1)
29* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
30* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
31 (linear feeds only)
32* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
33* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
34* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
35* Can change the source position coordinate frame
36* Bug fixes
37* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
38* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
39* flagging on a per channel base
40
41
42(Release 1.2.2)
43
44* channel based flagging
45* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
46* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
47* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
48* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
49* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
50* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
51* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
52
53Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
54
55* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
56* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
57 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
58
59
60Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
61
62Code changes
63------------
64* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
65* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
66* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
67* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
68 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
69* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
70* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
71* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
72* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
73* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
74* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
75* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
76 through ~/.asap/
77
78Todos/pending
79--------------
80* documentation update: should be finished by 2005-11-25
81* cookbook
82* release 1.2: 2005-11-30
83
84Major non-targets, resulting from requirements/targets
85-----------------------------------------------------
86* asap logging, which can be turned on and off through .asaprc/rcParams
87 (from asapmon)
88* Data container v2 design study and document ( moved from cycle II )
89
90Not Addressed
91-------------
92
93(deferred to cycle II, as described in support document)
94
95* Flexible data selection
96* "Merging of spectra" (concatenating scantables)
97
98* public defect tracking system
