87
[1259]88* Processing of Multibeam MX data
89* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
90* median averaging
91* support of circular polarisations

100
[1054]101Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
102
103* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
104 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
105 user interface.
106* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
[1259]107 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
[1054]108 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
109* Scantables can be merged
110* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
111 (This will change in 2.1)
112* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
113* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
114 (linear feeds only)
115* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
116* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
117* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
118* Can change the source position coordinate frame
119* Bug fixes
120* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
121* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
122* flagging on a per channel base
123
124

[803]130* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
131* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
132* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
133* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
134* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
135
136Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
137
138* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
139* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
140 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
141
142

148* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
149* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
[803]150* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
[772]151 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
152* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
153* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
154* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
