4Release 2.3.0 [2009-01-??]
5
6* Ticket #110 Added export to CLASS readable FITS files
7 scantable.save("myfile.fits", "CLASS")
8* Ticket #142 Fix of the frequency alignment for long observations
9* Ticket #133 allow supression of history in the scantable via rc parameters
10* Ticket #109 source direction for Hobart data
11* Ticket #115 added running median to scantable.(smooth(kernel='rmedian')
12* Ticket #148 opacity correction wasn't applied to TSYS
13* Ticket #135 quotient detection failure for specific source names
14* Ticket #140 NaN values not handled - added scantable.flag_nans to ensure
15 that the NaN are flagged
16* added python iterator access to scantable rows
17* made functions available to directly manipulate spectra
18 scantable.get/set_spectrum
19* upgrade to support ipython >= 0.8.1
20* support gcc-4.3
21* use scons >= 1.1.0
22* update to latest livedata I/O functions
23* add WCS info to the exported text files
24
25Release 2.2.0 [2007-05-02]
26
27* fix for losing flags in average_time
28* changed asap_update_data to contact ATNF ftp server directly
29* Documentation updates
30* changed to use casacore instead of aips++
31* auto_quotient uses on/off pair detection by default, 'time' the old mode can also
32 be accessed
33* Ticket #107 added function to shift reference pixel
34* Ticket #106 added function to retrieve integration times
35* Ticket #105 added Parkes K-band gain curve

38* Ticket #98 AIPSPATH is honoured if set
39* Ticket #101 fixed set_restfreqs not working for IFs not starting at 0
40* Ticket #97 fixed error in opacity calculation
41
42Minor Release 2.1.1 [2006-11-09]
43
44* fix for Ticket #88 - numpy masks
45* better TAB completion for ipython (handles quotes, don't list private members)
46* Fix for Ticket #81 = scanatble.stats output as list
47* ticket #64 - speed up of auto_poly_baseline
48* fix for ticket #89 - export of IF sub-selections
49* fix for Ticket #83 - export to ms2 crashed asap
50* added file suffix support for name.rpf.1 etc.
51
52Release Version 2.1.0 [2006-09-11]
53
54* Processing of Multibeam MX data
55* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
56* median averaging
57* support of circular polarisations
58* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
59* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter
60* export of fit parameters to text file
61* disk based scantables for large data sets
62* re-introduced custom quotients
63* fixed major fitter bug
64* fft flagging
65* full support for MOPS data
66
67Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
68
69* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
70 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
71 user interface.
72* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
73 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
74 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
75* Scantables can be merged
76* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
77 (This will change in 2.1)
78* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
79* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
80 (linear feeds only)
81* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
82* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
83* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
84* Can change the source position coordinate frame
85* Bug fixes
86* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
87* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
88* flagging on a per channel base
89
90
91(Release 1.2.2)
92
93* channel based flagging
94* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
95* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
96* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
97* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
98* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
99* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
100* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
101
102Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
103
104* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
105* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
106 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
107
108
109Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
110
111Code changes
112------------
113* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
114* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
115* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
116* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
117 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
118* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
119* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
120* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
121* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
122* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
123* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
124* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
125 through ~/.asap/
126
127Todos/pending
128--------------
129* documentation update: should be finished by 2005-11-25
130* cookbook

136 (from asapmon)
137* Data container v2 design study and document ( moved from cycle II )
