87
88Release Version 2.1.0 [2006-09-11]
89
90* Processing of Multibeam MX data
91* Line Catalogs for both plotting and setting rest frequencies
92* median averaging
93* support of circular polarisations
94* binaries for fedora (core 3/5), debian, ubuntu, OSX (ppc,intel)
95* text/arrow/line annonations for plotter
96* export of fit parameters to text file
97* disk based scantables for large data sets

101* full support for MOPS data
102
103Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28]
104
105* Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with
106  different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the
107  user interface.
108* Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of
109  data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values
110  (e.g. Tsys). set_cursor is now invalid use set_selection instead.
111* Scantables can be merged
112* scantable.lines() has been removed. Set rest frequencies by value
113  (This will change in 2.1)
114* Multiple data files (e.g. rpf) can be read into a single scantable
115* Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles
116  (linear feeds only)
117* ability to convert to/store as Stokes
118* Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary)
119* ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable
120* Can change the source position coordinate frame
121* Bug fixes
122* auto_quotient is doing "closest in time reference"
123* option auto-align in velocity when using average_time
124* flagging on a per channel base
125
126
127(Release 1.2.2)
128

132* added allaxes arg to poly_baseline
133* Request: added pager throuput for history and summary
134* Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient()
135* Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i").
136* Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking.
137
138Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06]
139
140* scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on
141* pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row
142  cursor not honoured in _plot_time
143
144
145Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30]
146
147Code changes

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

158* plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py
159* plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged']
160* usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable
161  through ~/.asap/
162
