4Release 2.3.0 [2009-01-??]
5
6* Ticket #151 added rc parameter and function set_sourcetype to identify on/off scans
7* Ticket #78/#112 Resolved the issue with random errors occuring under linux for large
8   data files, which corrupted the identifaction of off scans
9* Ticket #149 Fixed the bug causing spectral line search to go into an infinite loop
10   in some rare circumstances
11* Ticket #110 Added export to CLASS readable FITS files
12   scantable.save("myfile.fits", "CLASS")
13* Ticket #142 Fix of the frequency alignment for long observations
14* Ticket #133 allow supression of history in the scantable via rc parameters
15* Ticket #109 source direction for Hobart data
16* Ticket #115 added running median to scantable.(smooth(kernel='rmedian')
17* Ticket #148 opacity correction wasn't applied to TSYS
18* Ticket #135 quotient detection failure for specific source names
19* Ticket #140 NaN values not handled - added scantable.flag_nans to ensure
20   that the NaN are flagged
21* added python iterator access to scantable rows
22* made functions available to directly manipulate spectra
23   scantable.get/set_spectrum
24* upgrade to support ipython >= 0.8.1

31Release 2.2.0 [2007-05-02]
32
33* fix for losing flags in average_time
34* changed asap_update_data to contact ATNF ftp server directly
35* Documentation updates
36* changed to use casacore instead of aips++
37* auto_quotient uses on/off pair detection by default, 'time' the old mode can also
38  be accessed
39* Ticket #107 added function to shift reference pixel
40* Ticket #106 added  function to retrieve integration times
41* Ticket #105 added Parkes K-band gain curve

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

128* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
129* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
130* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
131  through ~/.asap/
132
133Todos/pending

142 (from asapmon)
