152Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
153
154* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
155 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
156 user interface.
157* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
158 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
159 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
160* Scantables can be merged
161* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
162 (This will change in 2.1)
163* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
164* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
165 (linear feeds only)
166* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
167* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
168* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
169* Can change the source position coordinate frame
170* Bug fixes
171* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
172* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
173* flagging on a per channel base

183* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
184* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
185* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
186
187Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
188
189* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
190* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
191 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
192
193

195
196Code changes
197------------
198* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
199* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
200* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically

202 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
203* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
204* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
205* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
206* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
207* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
208* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
209* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
210 through ~/.asap/
