2=========
3
4Release 2.3.0 [2009-01-??]
5
6* made functions available to directly manipulate spectra
7 scantable.get/set_spectrum
8* Added export to CLASS readable FITS files
9 scantable.save("myfile.fits", "CLASS")
10* upgrade to support ipython >= 0.8.1
11* support gcc-4.3
12* use scons >= 1.1.0
13* update to latest livedata I/O functions
14* add WCS info to the exported text files
15* allow supression of history in the scantable via rc parameters
16* source direction for Hobart data - Ticket #109
17* added running median to scantable.(smooth(kernel='rmedian')
18
19Release 2.2.0 [2007-05-02]
20
21* fix for losing flags in average_time
22* changed asap_update_data to contact ATNF ftp server directly
23* Documentation updates
24* changed to use casacore instead of aips++
25* auto_quotient uses on/off pair detection by default, 'time' the old mode can also
26 be accessed
27* Ticket #107 added function to shift reference pixel
28* Ticket #106 added function to retrieve integration times
29* Ticket #105 added Parkes K-band gain curve
30* Ticket #102 fixed wrong polarisation type in case of 'circular'
31* Ticket #104/94 fixed segmentation fault for time average if all channels are flagged
32* Ticket #98 AIPSPATH is honoured if set
33* Ticket #101 fixed set_restfreqs not working for IFs not starting at 0
34* Ticket #97 fixed error in opacity calculation
35
36Minor Release 2.1.1 [2006-11-09]
37
38* fix for Ticket #88 - numpy masks
39* better TAB completion for ipython (handles quotes, don't list private members)
40* Fix for Ticket #81 = scanatble.stats output as list
41* ticket #64 - speed up of auto_poly_baseline
42* fix for ticket #89 - export of IF sub-selections
43* fix for Ticket #83 - export to ms2 crashed asap
44* added file suffix support for name.rpf.1 etc.
45
46Release Version 2.1.0 [2006-09-11]
47
48* Processing of Multibeam MX data
49* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
50* median averaging
51* support of circular polarisations
52* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
53* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter
54* export of fit parameters to text file
55* disk based scantables for large data sets
56* re-introduced custom quotients
57* fixed major fitter bug
58* fft flagging
59* full support for MOPS data
60
61Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
62
63* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
64 different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
65 user interface.
66* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
67 data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
68 (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
69* Scantables can be merged
70* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
71 (This will change in 2.1)
72* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
73* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
74 (linear feeds only)
75* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
76* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
77* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
78* Can change the source position coordinate frame
79* Bug fixes
80* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
81* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
82* flagging on a per channel base
83
84
85(Release 1.2.2)
86
87* channel based flagging
88* Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle
89* Added swap_lineas & invert_phase
90* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
91* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
92* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
93* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
94* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
95
96Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
97
98* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
99* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
100 cursor not honoured in _plot_time
101
102
103Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
104
105Code changes
106------------
107* frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch()
108* get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename()
109* build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically
110* plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(),
111 plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters
112* non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting
113* ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline)
114* user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout()
115* histogram plotting: part of linestyles
116* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
117* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
118* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
119 through ~/.asap/
120
121Todos/pending
122--------------
123* documentation update: should be finished by 2005-11-25
124* cookbook
125* release 1.2: 2005-11-30
126
127Major non-targets, resulting from requirements/targets
128-----------------------------------------------------
129* asap logging, which can be turned on and off through .asaprc/rcParams
130 (from asapmon)
131* Data container v2 design study and document ( moved from cycle II )
132
133Not Addressed
134-------------
135
136(deferred to cycle II, as described in support document)
