2=========
3
4Release 2.2.1 [2007-??-??]
5
6* source direction for Hobart data - Ticket #109
7* added running median to scantable.(smooth(kernel='rmedian')
8
9Release 2.2.0 [2007-05-02]
10
11* fix for losing flags in average_time
12* changed asap_update_data to contact ATNF ftp server directly
13* Documentation updates
14* changed to use casacore instead of aips++
15* auto_quotient uses on/off pair detection by default, 'time' the old mode can also
16 be accessed
17* Ticket #107 added function to shift reference pixel
18* Ticket #106 added function to retrieve integration times
19* Ticket #105 added Parkes K-band gain curve
20* Ticket #102 fixed wrong polarisation type in case of 'circular'
21* Ticket #104/94 fixed segmentation fault for time average if all channels are flagged
22* Ticket #98 AIPSPATH is honoured if set
23* Ticket #101 fixed set_restfreqs not working for IFs not starting at 0
24* Ticket #97 fixed error in opacity calculation
25
26Minor Release 2.1.1 [2006-11-09]
27
28* fix for Ticket #88 - numpy masks
29* better TAB completion for ipython (handles quotes, don't list private members)
30* Fix for Ticket #81 = scanatble.stats output as list
31* ticket #64 - speed up of auto_poly_baseline
32* fix for ticket #89 - export of IF sub-selections
33* fix for Ticket #83 - export to ms2 crashed asap
34* added file suffix support for name.rpf.1 etc.
35
36Release Version 2.1.0 [2006-09-11]
37
38* Processing of Multibeam MX data
39* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
40* median averaging
41* support of circular polarisations
42* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
43* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter
44* export of fit parameters to text file
45* disk based scantables for large data sets
46* re-introduced custom quotients
47* fixed major fitter bug
48* fft flagging
49* full support for MOPS data
50
51Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
52
53* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
54 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
55 user interface.
56* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
57 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
58 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
59* Scantables can be merged
60* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
61 (This will change in 2.1)
62* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
63* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
64 (linear feeds only)
65* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
66* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
67* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
68* Can change the source position coordinate frame
69* Bug fixes
70* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
71* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
72* flagging on a per channel base
73
74
75(Release 1.2.2)
76
77* channel based flagging
78* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
79* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
80* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
81* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
82* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
83* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
84* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
85
86Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
87
88* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
89* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
90 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
91
92
93Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
94
95Code changes
96------------
97* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
98* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
99* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
100* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
101 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
102* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
103* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
104* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
105* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
106* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
107* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
108* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
109 through ~/.asap/
110
111Todos/pending
112--------------
113* documentation update: should be finished by 2005-11-25
114* cookbook
115* release 1.2: 2005-11-30
116
117Major non-targets, resulting from requirements/targets
118-----------------------------------------------------
119* asap logging, which can be turned on and off through .asaprc/rcParams
120 (from asapmon)
121* Data container v2 design study and document ( moved from cycle II )
122
123Not Addressed
124-------------
125
126(deferred to cycle II, as described in support document)
