[803]2=========
[772]3
[1364]4Release 2.2.0 [2007-05-02]
5
6* fix for losing flags in average_time
7* changed asap_update_data to contact ATNF ftp server directly
8* Documentation updates
9* changed to use casacore instead of aips++
10* auto_quotient uses on/off pair detection by default, 'time' the old mode can also
11 be accessed
12* Ticket #107 added function to shift reference pixel
13* Ticket #106 added function to retrieve integration times
14* Ticket #105 added Parkes K-band gain curve
15* Ticket #102 fixed wrong polarisation type in case of 'circular'
16* Ticket #104/94 fixed segmentation fault for time average if all channels are flagged
17* Ticket #98 AIPSPATH is honoured if set
18* Ticket #101 fixed set_restfreqs not working for IFs not starting at 0
19* Ticket #97 fixed error in opacity calculation
20
[1305]21Minor Release 2.1.1 [2006-11-09]
[1295]22
23* fix for Ticket #88 - numpy masks
24* better TAB completion for ipython (handles quotes, don't list private members)
25* Fix for Ticket #81 = scanatble.stats output as list
26* ticket #64 - speed up of auto_poly_baseline
27* fix for ticket #89 - export of IF sub-selections
[1305]28* fix for Ticket #83 - export to ms2 crashed asap
29* added file suffix support for name.rpf.1 etc.
[1295]30
31Release Version 2.1.0 [2006-09-11]
32
[1259]33* Processing of Multibeam MX data
34* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
35* median averaging
36* support of circular polarisations
37* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
38* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter
39* export of fit parameters to text file
40* disk based scantables for large data sets
41* re-introduced custom quotients
42* fixed major fitter bug
43* fft flagging
44* full support for MOPS data
45
[1054]46Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
47
48* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
49 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
50 user interface.
51* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
[1259]52 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
[1054]53 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
54* Scantables can be merged
55* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
56 (This will change in 2.1)
57* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
58* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
59 (linear feeds only)
60* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
61* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
62* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
63* Can change the source position coordinate frame
64* Bug fixes
65* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
66* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
67* flagging on a per channel base
68
69
[803]70(Release 1.2.2)
71
72* channel based flagging
73* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
[1054]74* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
[803]75* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
76* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
77* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
78* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
79* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
80
81Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
82
83* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
84* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
85 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
86
87
[772]88Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
89
90Code changes
91------------
92* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
93* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
94* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
[803]95* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
[772]96 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
97* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
98* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
99* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
100* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
101* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
102* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
[803]103* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
[772]104 through ~/.asap/
105
106Todos/pending
107--------------
108* documentation update: should be finished by 2005-11-25

115 (from asapmon)
