[1474]4Release 2.3.0 [2009-01-??]
[1381]5
[1485]6* Ticket #110 Added export to CLASS readable FITS files
7 scantable.save("myfile.fits", "CLASS")
8* Ticket #133 allow supression of history in the scantable via rc parameters
9* Ticket #109 source direction for Hobart data
10* Ticket #115 added running median to scantable.(smooth(kernel='rmedian')
11* Ticket #148 opacity correction wan't applied to TSYS
12* Ticket #135 quotient detection failure for specific source names
13* Ticket #140 NaN values not handled - added scantable.flag_nans to ensure
14 that the NaN are flagged
15* added python iterator access to scantable rows
[1474]16* made functions available to directly manipulate spectra

[1474]18* upgrade to support ipython >= 0.8.1
19* support gcc-4.3
20* use scons >= 1.1.0
21* update to latest livedata I/O functions
22* add WCS info to the exported text files
[1381]23
[1364]24Release 2.2.0 [2007-05-02]
25
26* fix for losing flags in average_time
27* changed asap_update_data to contact ATNF ftp server directly
28* Documentation updates
29* changed to use casacore instead of aips++
30* auto_quotient uses on/off pair detection by default, 'time' the old mode can also
31 be accessed
32* Ticket #107 added function to shift reference pixel
33* Ticket #106 added function to retrieve integration times

40
[1305]41Minor Release 2.1.1 [2006-11-09]
[1295]42
43* fix for Ticket #88 - numpy masks
44* better TAB completion for ipython (handles quotes, don't list private members)
45* Fix for Ticket #81 = scanatble.stats output as list
46* ticket #64 - speed up of auto_poly_baseline
47* fix for ticket #89 - export of IF sub-selections
[1305]48* fix for Ticket #83 - export to ms2 crashed asap
49* added file suffix support for name.rpf.1 etc.
[1295]50
51Release Version 2.1.0 [2006-09-11]
52
[1259]53* Processing of Multibeam MX data
54* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
55* median averaging
56* support of circular polarisations
57* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
58* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter
59* export of fit parameters to text file
60* disk based scantables for large data sets
61* re-introduced custom quotients
62* fixed major fitter bug
63* fft flagging
64* full support for MOPS data
65
[1054]66Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
67
68* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
69 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
70 user interface.
71* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
[1259]72 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
[1054]73 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
74* Scantables can be merged
75* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
76 (This will change in 2.1)
77* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
78* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
79 (linear feeds only)
80* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
81* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
82* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
83* Can change the source position coordinate frame
84* Bug fixes
85* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
86* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
87* flagging on a per channel base
88
89
[803]90(Release 1.2.2)
91
92* channel based flagging
93* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
[1054]94* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
[803]95* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
96* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
97* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
98* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
99* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
100
101Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
102
103* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
104* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
105 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
106
107

109
110Code changes
111------------
112* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
113* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
114* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
[803]115* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
[772]116 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
117* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
118* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
