83
84Release Version 2.1.0 [2006-09-11]
85
86* Processing of Multibeam MX data
87* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
88* median averaging
89* support of circular polarisations
90* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
91* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter

98
99Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
100
101* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
102 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
103 user interface.
104* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
105 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
106 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
107* Scantables can be merged
108* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
109 (This will change in 2.1)
110* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
111* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
112 (linear feeds only)
113* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
114* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
115* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
116* Can change the source position coordinate frame
117* Bug fixes
118* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
119* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
120* flagging on a per channel base
121
122
123(Release 1.2.2)
124
125* channel based flagging
126* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
127* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
128* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
129* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
130* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
131* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
132* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
133
134Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
135
136* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
137* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
138 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
139
140
141Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
142
143Code changes
144------------
145* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
146* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
147* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
148* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
149 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
150* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
151* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
152* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
153* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
154* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
155* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
156* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
157 through ~/.asap/
