+ New Features
|
||||
> astropy.config
|
||||
* The config and cache directories and the name of the config file are now
|
||||
customizable. This allows affiliated packages to put their configuration
|
||||
files in locations other than ``CONFIG_DIR/.astropy/``.
|
||||
> astropy.constants
|
||||
* The version of constants can be specified via ScienceState in a way
|
||||
that ``constants`` and ``units`` will be consistent.
|
||||
* Default constants now use CODATA 2018 and IAU 2015 definitions.
|
||||
* Constants can be pickled and unpickled.
|
||||
> astropy.convolution
|
||||
* Fixed a bug where having a kernel defined using unitless astropy
|
||||
quantity objects would result in a crash
|
||||
> astropy.coordinates
|
||||
* Changed ``coordinates.solar_system_ephemeris`` to also accept local files
|
||||
as input. The ephemeris can now be selected by either keyword (e.g. 'jpl',
|
||||
'de430'), URL or file path.
|
||||
* Added a ``cylindrical`` property to ``SkyCoord`` for shorthand access to a
|
||||
``CylindricalRepresentation`` of the coordinate, as is already available
|
||||
for other common representations.
|
||||
* The default parameters for the ``Galactocentric`` frame are now controlled by
|
||||
a ``ScienceState`` subclass, ``galactocentric_frame_defaults``. New
|
||||
parameter sets will be added to this object periodically to keep up with
|
||||
ever-improved measurements of the solar position and motion.
|
||||
* Coordinate frame classes can now have multiple aliases by assigning a list
|
||||
of aliases to the class variable ``name``. Any of the aliases can be used
|
||||
for attribute-style access or as the target of ``tranform_to()`` calls.
|
||||
|
||||
* Passing a NaN to ``Distance`` no longer raises a warning.
|
||||
> astropy.cosmology
|
||||
* The pre-publication Planck 2018 cosmological parameters are included as the
|
||||
``Planck2018_arXiv_v2`` object. Please note that the values are preliminary,
|
||||
and when the paper is accepted a final version will be included as
|
||||
``Planck18``.
|
||||
> astropy.io.ascii
|
||||
* Removed incorrect warnings on ``Overflow`` when reading in
|
||||
``FloatType`` 0.0 with ``use_fast_converter``; synchronised
|
||||
``IntType`` ``Overflow`` warning messages.
|
||||
> astropy.io.misc
|
||||
* Eliminate deprecated compatibility mode when writing ``Table`` metadata to
|
||||
HDF5 format.
|
||||
* Add support for orthogonal polynomial models to ASDF.
|
||||
> astropy.io.fits
|
||||
* Changed the ``fitscheck`` and ``fitsdiff`` script to use the ``argparse``
|
||||
module instead of ``optparse``.
|
||||
* Allow writing of ``Table`` objects with ``Time`` columns that are also table
|
||||
indices to FITS files.
|
||||
> astropy.io.votable
|
||||
* Support VOTable version 1.4. The main addition is the new element, TIMESYS,
|
||||
which allows defining of metadata for temporal coordinates much like COOSYS
|
||||
defines metadata for celestial coordinates.
|
||||
> astropy.logger
|
||||
* Added a configuration option to specify the text encoding of the log file,
|
||||
with the default behavior being the platform-preferred encoding.
|
||||
> astropy.modeling
|
||||
* Major rework of modeling internals. `See modeling documentation for details.
|
||||
<https://docs.astropy.org/en/v4.0.x/modeling/changes_for_4.html>`_ .
|
||||
* Add ``Tabular1D.inverse``.
|
||||
* ``Model.rename`` was changed to add the ability to rename ``Model.inputs``
|
||||
and ``Model.outputs``.
|
||||
* New function ``fix_inputs`` to generate new models from others by fixing
|
||||
specific inputs variable values to constants.
|
||||
* ``inputs`` and ``outputs`` are now model instance attributes, and ``n_inputs``
|
||||
and ``n_outputs`` are class attributes. Backwards compatible default
|
||||
values of ``inputs`` and ``outputs`` are generated. ``Model.inputs`` and
|
||||
``Model.outputs`` are now settable which allows renaming them on per user
|
||||
case.
|
||||
* Add a new model representing a sequence of rotations in 3D around an
|
||||
arbitrary number of axes.
|
||||
* Add many of the numpy ufunc functions as models.
|
||||
* Add ``BlackBody`` model.
|
||||
* Add ``Drude1D`` model.
|
||||
* Added analytical King model (KingProjectedAnalytic1D).
|
||||
* Added Exponential1D and Logarithmic1D models.
|
||||
> astropy.nddata
|
||||
* Add a way for technically invalid but unambiguous units in a fits header
|
||||
to be parsed by ``CCDData``.
|
||||
* ``NDData`` now only accepts WCS objects which implement either the high, or
|
||||
low level APE 14 WCS API. All WCS objects are converted to a high level WCS
|
||||
object, so ``NDData.wcs`` now always returns a high level APE 14 object. Not
|
||||
all array slices are valid for wcs objects, so some slicing operations which
|
||||
used to work may now fail.
|
||||
> astropy.stats
|
||||
* The ``biweight_location``, ``biweight_scale``, and
|
||||
``biweight_midvariance`` functions now allow for the ``axis``
|
||||
keyword to be a tuple of integers.
|
||||
* Added an ``ignore_nan`` option to the ``biweight_location``,
|
||||
``biweight_scale``, and ``biweight_midvariance`` functions.
|
||||
* A numpy ``MaskedArray`` can now be input to the ``biweight_location``,
|
||||
``biweight_scale``, and ``biweight_midvariance`` functions.
|
||||
* Removed the warning related to p0 in the Bayesian blocks algorithm. The
|
||||
caveat related to p0 is described in the docstring for ``Events``.
|
||||
> astropy.table
|
||||
* Improved the implementation of ``Table.replace_column()`` to provide
|
||||
a speed-up of 5 to 10 times for wide tables. The method can now accept
|
||||
any input which convertible to a column of the correct length, not just
|
||||
``Column`` subclasses.
|
||||
* Improved the implementation of ``Table.add_column()`` to provide a speed-up
|
||||
of 2 to 10 (or more) when adding a column to tables, with increasing benefit
|
||||
as the number of columns increases. The method can now accept any input
|
||||
which is convertible to a column of the correct length, not just ``Column``
|
||||
subclasses.
|
||||
* Changed the implementation of ``Table.add_columns()`` to use the new
|
||||
``Table.add_column()`` method. In most cases the performance is similar
|
||||
or slightly faster to the previous implemenation.
|
||||
* ``MaskedColumn.data`` will now return a plain ``MaskedArray`` rather than
|
||||
the previous (unintended) ``masked_BaseColumn``.
|
||||
* Added depth-wise stacking ``dstack()`` in higher level table operation.
|
||||
It help will in stacking table column depth-wise.
|
||||
* Added a new table equality method ``values_equal()`` which allows comparison
|
||||
table values to another table, list, or value, and returns an
|
||||
element-by-element equality table.
|
||||
* Added new ``join_type='cartesian'`` option to the ``join`` operation.
|
||||
* Allow adding a table column as a list of mixin-type objects, for instance
|
||||
``t['q'] = [1 * u.m, 2 * u.m]``.
|
||||
* Allow table ``join()`` using any sortable key column (e.g. Time), not
|
||||
just ndarray subclasses. A column is considered sortable if there is a
|
||||
``<column>.info.get_sortable_arrays()`` method that is implemented.
|
||||
* Added ``Table.iterrows()`` for making row-wise iteration faster.
|
||||
* Allow table to be initialized with a list of dict where the dict keys
|
||||
are not the same in every row. The table column names are the set of all keys
|
||||
found in the input data, and any missing key/value pairs are turned into
|
||||
missing data in the table.
|
||||
* Prevent unnecessary ERFA warnings when indexing by ``Time`` columns.
|
||||
* Added support for sorting tables which contain non-mutable mixin columns
|
||||
(like ``SkyCoord``) for which in-place item update is not allowed.
|
||||
* Ensured that inserting ``np.ma.masked`` (or any other value with a mask) into
|
||||
a ``MaskedColumn`` causes a masked entry to be inserted.
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that caused an exception when initializing a ``MaskedColumn`` from
|
||||
another ``MaskedColumn`` that has a structured dtype.
|
||||
> astropy.tests
|
||||
* The plugin that handles the custom header in the test output has been
|
||||
moved to the ``pytest-astropy-header plugin`` package. `See the README at
|
||||
<https://github.com/astropy/pytest-astropy-header>`__ for information about
|
||||
using this new plugin.
|
||||
> astropy.time
|
||||
* Added a new time format ``ymdhms`` for representing times via year, month,
|
||||
day, hour, minute, and second attributes.
|
||||
* ``TimeDelta`` gained a ``to_value`` method, so that it becomes easier to
|
||||
use it wherever a ``Quantity`` with units of time could be used.
|
||||
* Made scalar ``Time`` and ``TimeDelta`` objects hashable based on JD, time
|
||||
scale, and location attributes.
|
||||
* Improved error message when bad input is used to initialize a ``Time`` or
|
||||
``TimeDelta`` object and the format is specified.
|
||||
* Allow numeric time formats to be initialized with numpy ``longdouble``,
|
||||
``Decimal`` instances, and strings. One can select just one of these
|
||||
using ``in_subfmt``. The output can be similarly set using ``out_subfmt``.
|
||||
|
||||
* Introduce a new ``.to_value()`` method for ``Time`` (and adjusted the
|
||||
existing method for ``TimeDelta``) so that one can get values in a given
|
||||
``format`` and possible ``subfmt`` (e.g., ``to_value('mjd', 'str')``.
|
||||
* Prevent unecessary ERFA warnings when sorting ``Time`` objects.
|
||||
> astropy.timeseries
|
||||
* Addig ``epoch_phase``, ``wrap_phase`` and ``normalize_phase`` keywords to
|
||||
``TimeSeries.fold()`` to control the phase of the epoch and to return
|
||||
normalized phase rather than time for the folded TimeSeries.
|
||||
> astropy.uncertainty
|
||||
* ``Distribution`` was rewritten such that it deals better with subclasses.
|
||||
As a result, Quantity distributions now behave correctly with ``to`` methods
|
||||
yielding new distributions of the kind expected for the starting
|
||||
distribution, and ``to_value`` yielding ``NdarrayDistribution`` instances.
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``pdf_*`` properties that were used to calculate statistical properties
|
||||
of ``Distrubution`` instances were changed into methods. This allows one
|
||||
to pass parameters such as ``ddof`` to ``pdf_std`` and ``pdf_var`` (which
|
||||
generally should equal 1 instead of the default 0), and reflects that these
|
||||
are fairly involved calcuations, not just "properties".
|
||||
> astropy.units
|
||||
* Support for unicode parsing. Currently supported superscripts are Ohm,
|
||||
Ångström, and the micro-sign.
|
||||
* Accept non-unit type annotations in @quantity_input.
|
||||
* For numpy 1.17 and later, the new ``__array_function__`` protocol is used to
|
||||
ensure that all top-level numpy functions interact properly with
|
||||
``Quantity``, preserving units also in operations like ``np.concatenate``.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add equivalencies for surface brightness units to spectral_density.
|
||||
> astropy.utils
|
||||
* ``astropy.utils.data.download_file`` and
|
||||
``astropy.utils.data.get_readable_fileobj`` now provides an ``http_headers``
|
||||
keyword to pass in specific request headers for the download. It also now
|
||||
defaults to providing ``User-Agent: Astropy`` and ``Accept: */*``
|
||||
headers. The default ``User-Agent`` value can be set with a new
|
||||
``astropy.data.conf.default_http_user_agent`` configuration item.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added a new ``astropy.utils.misc.unbroadcast`` function which can be used
|
||||
to return the smallest array that can be broadcasted back to the initial
|
||||
array.
|
||||
* The specific IERS Earth rotation parameter table used for time and
|
||||
coordinate transformations can now be set, either in a context or per
|
||||
session, using ``astropy.utils.iers.earth_rotation_table``.
|
||||
* Added ``export_cache`` and ``import_cache`` to permit transporting
|
||||
downloaded data to machines with no Internet connection. Several new
|
||||
functions are available to investigate the cache contents; e.g.,
|
||||
``check_download_cache`` can be used to confirm that the persistent
|
||||
cache has not become damaged.
|
||||
* A new ``astropy.utils.iers.LeapSeconds`` class has been added to track
|
||||
leap seconds.
|
||||
> astropy.visualization
|
||||
* Added a new ``time_support`` context manager/function for making it easy to
|
||||
plot and format ``Time`` objects in Matplotlib.
|
||||
* Added support for plotting any WCS compliant with the generalized (APE 14)
|
||||
WCS API with WCSAxes.
|
||||
* Improved display of information when inspecting ``WCSAxes.coords``.
|
||||
* Improved error checking for the ``slices=`` argument to ``WCSAxes``.
|
||||
* Added support for more solar frames in WCSAxes.
|
||||
* Add support for one dimensional plots to ``WCSAxes``.
|
||||
* Add a ``get_format_unit`` to ``wcsaxes.CoordinateHelper``.
|
||||
* ``WCSAxes`` now, by default, sets a default label for plot axes which is the
|
||||
WCS physical type (and unit) for that axis. This can be disabled using the
|
||||
``coords[i].set_auto_axislabel(False)`` or by explicitly setting an axis
|
||||
label.
|
||||
* Fixed the display of tick labels when plotting all sky images that have a
|
||||
coord_wrap less than 360.
|
||||
> astropy.wcs
|
||||
* Added a ``astropy.wcs.wcsapi.pixel_to_pixel`` function that can be used to
|
||||
transform pixel coordinates in one dataset with a WCS to pixel coordinates
|
||||
in another dataset with a different WCS. This function is designed to be
|
||||
efficient when the input arrays are broadcasted views of smaller
|
||||
arrays.
|
||||
* Added a ``local_partial_pixel_derivatives`` function that can be used to
|
||||
determine a matrix of partial derivatives of each world coordinate with
|
||||
respect to each pixel coordinate.
|
||||
* Updated wcslib to v6.4.
|
||||
* Improved the ``SlicedLowLevelWCS`` class in ``astropy.wcs.wcsapi`` to avoid
|
||||
storing chains of nested ``SlicedLowLevelWCS`` objects when applying multiple
|
||||
slicing operations in turn.
|
||||
* Added a ``wcs_info_str`` function to ``astropy.wcs.wcsapi`` to show a summary
|
||||
of an APE-14-compliant WCS as a string.
|
||||
* Added two new optional attributes to the APE 14 low-level WCS:
|
||||
``pixel_axis_names`` and ``world_axis_names``.
|
||||
* Updated the WCS class to now correctly take and return ``Time`` objects in
|
||||
the high-level APE 14 API (e.g. ``pixel_to_world``.
|
||||
* ``SlicedLowLevelWCS`` now raises ``IndexError`` rather than ``ValueError`` on
|
||||
an invalid slice.
|
||||
* Added ``fit_wcs_from_points`` function to ``astropy.wcs.utils``. Fits a WCS
|
||||
object to set of matched detector/sky coordinates.
|
||||
* Fix various bugs in ``SlicedLowLevelWCS`` when the WCS being sliced was one
|
||||
dimensional.
|
||||
+ API Changes
|
||||
> astropy.constants
|
||||
* Deprecated ``set_enabled_constants`` context manager. Use
|
||||
``astropy.physical_constants`` and ``astropy.astronomical_constants``.
|
||||
|
||||
> astropy.convolution
|
||||
* Removed the deprecated keyword argument ``interpolate_nan`` from
|
||||
``convolve_fft``.
|
||||
* Removed the deprecated keyword argument ``stddev`` from
|
||||
``Gaussian2DKernel``.
|
||||
* Deprecated and renamed ``MexicanHat1DKernel`` and ``MexicanHat2DKernel``
|
||||
to ``RickerWavelet1DKernel`` and ``RickerWavelet2DKernel``.
|
||||
> astropy.coordinates
|
||||
* Removed the ``recommended_units`` attribute from Representations; it was
|
||||
deprecated since 3.0.
|
||||
* Removed the deprecated frame attribute classes, ``FrameAttribute``,
|
||||
``TimeFrameAttribute``, ``QuantityFrameAttribute``,
|
||||
``CartesianRepresentationFrameAttribute``; deprecated since 3.0.
|
||||
* Removed ``longitude`` and ``latitude`` attributes from ``EarthLocation``;
|
||||
deprecated since 2.0.
|
||||
* The ``DifferentialAttribute`` for frame classes now passes through any input
|
||||
to the ``allowed_classes`` if only one allowed class is specified, i.e. this
|
||||
now allows passing a quantity in for frame attributes that use
|
||||
``DifferentialAttribute``.
|
||||
* Removed the deprecated ``galcen_ra`` and ``galcen_dec`` attributes from the
|
||||
``Galactocentric`` frame.
|
||||
> astropy.extern
|
||||
* Remove the bundled ``six`` module.
|
||||
> astropy.io.ascii
|
||||
* Masked column handling has changed, see ``astropy.table`` entry below.
|
||||
|
||||
> astropy.io.misc
|
||||
* Masked column handling has changed, see ``astropy.table`` entry below.
|
||||
|
||||
* Removed deprecated ``usecPickle`` kwarg from ``fnunpickle`` and
|
||||
``fnpickle``.
|
||||
> astropy.io.fits
|
||||
* Masked column handling has changed, see ``astropy.table`` entry below.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``io.fits.Header`` has been made safe for subclasses for copying and slicing.
|
||||
As a result of this change, the private subclass ``CompImageHeader``
|
||||
now always should be passed an explicit ``image_header``.
|
||||
* Removed the deprecated ``tolerance`` option in ``fitsdiff`` and
|
||||
``io.fits.diff`` classes.
|
||||
* Removed deprecated keyword arguments for ``CompImageHDU``:
|
||||
``compressionType``, ``tileSize``, ``hcompScale``, ``hcompSmooth``,
|
||||
``quantizeLevel``.
|
||||
> astropy.io.votable
|
||||
* Changed ``pedantic`` argument to ``verify`` and change it to have three
|
||||
string-based options (``ignore``, ``warn``, and ``exception``) instead of
|
||||
just being a boolean. In addition, changed default to ``ignore``, which means
|
||||
that warnings will not be shown by default when loading VO tables.
|
||||
> astropy.modeling
|
||||
* Eliminates support for compound classes (but not compound instances!)
|
||||
* Slicing compound models more restrictive.
|
||||
* Shape of parameters now includes n_models as dimension.
|
||||
* Parameter instances now hold values instead of models.
|
||||
* Compound model parameters now share instance and value with
|
||||
constituent models.
|
||||
* No longer possible to assign slices of parameter values to model parameters
|
||||
attribute (it is possible to replace it with a complete array).
|
||||
* Many private attributes and methods have changed (see documentation).
|
||||
* Deprecated ``BlackBody1D`` model and ``blackbody_nu`` and
|
||||
``blackbody_lambda`` functions.
|
||||
* The deprecated ``rotations.rotation_matrix_from_angle`` was removed.
|
||||
* Deprecated and renamed ``MexicanHat1D`` and ``MexicanHat2D``
|
||||
to ``RickerWavelet1D`` and ``RickerWavelet2D``.
|
||||
* Deprecated ``modeling.utils.ExpressionTree``.
|
||||
> astropy.stats
|
||||
* Removed the ``iters`` keyword from sigma clipping stats functions.
|
||||
* Renamed the ``a`` parameter to ``data`` in biweight stat functions.
|
||||
* Renamed the ``a`` parameter to ``data`` in ``median_absolute_deviation``.
|
||||
|
||||
* Renamed the ``conflevel`` keyword to ``confidence_level`` in
|
||||
``poisson_conf_interval``. Usage of ``conflevel`` now issues
|
||||
``AstropyDeprecationWarning``.
|
||||
* Renamed the ``conf`` keyword to ``confidence_level`` in
|
||||
``binom_conf_interval`` and ``binned_binom_proportion``. Usage of ``conf``
|
||||
now issues ``AstropyDeprecationWarning``.
|
||||
* Renamed the ``conf_lvl`` keyword to ``confidence_level`` in
|
||||
``jackknife_stats``. Usage of ``conf_lvl`` now issues
|
||||
``AstropyDeprecationWarning``.
|
||||
> astropy.table
|
||||
* The handling of masked columns in the ``Table`` class has changed in a way
|
||||
that may impact program behavior. Now a ``Table`` with ``masked=False``
|
||||
may contain both ``Column`` and ``MaskedColumn`` objects, and adding a
|
||||
masked column or row to a table no longer "upgrades" the table and columns
|
||||
to masked. This means that tables with masked data which are read via
|
||||
``Table.read()`` will now always have ``masked=False``, though specific
|
||||
columns will be masked as needed. Two new table properties
|
||||
``has_masked_columns`` and ``has_masked_values`` were added. See the
|
||||
`Masking change in astropy 4.0 section within
|
||||
<https://docs.astropy.org/en/v4.0.x/table/masking.html>`_ for
|
||||
details.
|
||||
* Table operation functions such as ``join``, ``vstack``, ``hstack``, etc now
|
||||
always return a table with ``masked=False``, though the individual columns
|
||||
may be masked as necessary.
|
||||
* Changed implementation of ``Table.add_column()`` and ``Table.add_columns()``
|
||||
methods. Now it is possible add any object(s) which can be converted or
|
||||
broadcasted to a valid column for the table. ``Table.__setitem__`` now
|
||||
just calls ``add_column``.
|
||||
* Changed default table configuration setting ``replace_warnings`` from
|
||||
``['slice']`` to ``[]``. This removes the default warning when replacing
|
||||
a table column that is a slice of another column.
|
||||
* Removed the non-public method
|
||||
``astropy.table.np_utils.recarray_fromrecords``.
|
||||
> astropy.tests
|
||||
* In addition to ``DeprecationWarning``, now ``FutureWarning`` and
|
||||
``ImportWarning`` would also be turned into exceptions.
|
||||
* ``warnings_to_ignore_by_pyver`` option in
|
||||
``enable_deprecations_as_exceptions()`` has changed. Please refer to API
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
* Default settings for ``warnings_to_ignore_by_pyver`` are updated to remove
|
||||
very old warnings that are no longer relevant and to add a new warning
|
||||
caused by ``pytest-doctestplus``.
|
||||
> astropy.time
|
||||
* ``Time.get_ut1_utc`` now uses the auto-updated ``IERS_Auto`` by default,
|
||||
instead of the bundled ``IERS_B`` file.
|
||||
* Time formats that do not use ``val2`` now raise ValueError instead of
|
||||
silently ignoring a provided value.
|
||||
* Custom time formats can now accept floating-point types with extended
|
||||
precision. Existing time formats raise exceptions rather than discarding
|
||||
extended precision through conversion to ordinary floating-point.
|
||||
* Time formats (implemented in subclasses of ``TimeFormat``) now have
|
||||
their input and output routines more thoroughly validated, making it more
|
||||
difficult to create damaged ``Time`` objects.
|
||||
* The ``TimeDelta.to_value()`` method now can also take the ``format`` name
|
||||
as its argument, in which case the value will be calculated using the
|
||||
``TimeFormat`` machinery. For this case, one can also pass a ``subfmt``
|
||||
argument to retrieve the value in another form than ``float``.

* Keyword ``midpoint_epoch`` is renamed to ``epoch_time``.
|
||||
> astropy.uncertainty
|
||||
* ``Distribution`` was rewritten such that it deals better with subclasses.
|
||||
As a result, Quantity distributions now behave correctly with ``to`` methods
|
||||
yielding new distributions of the kind expected for the starting distribution,
|
||||
and ``to_value`` yielding ``NdarrayDistribution`` instances.
|
||||
> astropy.units
|
||||
* For consistency with ``ndarray``, scalar ``Quantity.value`` will now return
|
||||
a numpy scalar rather than a python one. This should help keep track of
|
||||
precision better, but may lead to unexpected results for the rare cases
|
||||
where numpy scalars behave differently than python ones (e.g., taking the
|
||||
square root of a negative number).
|
||||
* Removed the ``magnitude_zero_points`` module, which was deprecated in
|
||||
favour of ``astropy.units.photometric`` since 3.1.
|
||||
* ``EquivalentUnitsList`` now has a ``_repr_html_`` method to output a HTML
|
||||
table on a call to ``find_equivalent_units`` in Jupyter notebooks.
|
||||
> astropy.utils
|
||||
* ``download_file`` and related functions now accept a list of fallback
|
||||
sources, and they are able to update the cache at the user's request.
|
||||
* Allow ``astropy.utils.console.ProgressBarOrSpinner.map`` and
|
||||
``.map_unordered`` to take an argument ``multiprocessing_start_method`` to
|
||||
control how subprocesses are started; the different methods (``fork``,
|
||||
``spawn``, and ``forkserver``) have different implications in terms of
|
||||
security, efficiency, and behavioural anomalies. The option is useful in
|
||||
particular for cross-platform testing because Windows supports only ``spawn``
|
||||
while Linux defaults to ``fork``.
|
||||
* All operations that act on the astropy download cache now take an argument
|
||||
``pkgname`` that allows one to specify which package's cache to use.
|
||||
|
||||
* Removed deprecated ``funcsigs`` and ``futures`` from
|
||||
``astropy.utils.compat``.
|
||||
* Removed the deprecated ``astropy.utils.compat.numpy`` module.
|
||||
* Deprecated ``InheritDocstrings`` as it is natively supported by
|
||||
Sphinx 1.7 or higher.
|
||||
* Deprecated ``astropy.utils.timer`` module, which has been moved to
|
||||
``astroquery.utils.timer`` and will be part of ``astroquery`` 0.4.0.
|
||||
* Deprecated ``astropy.utils.misc.set_locale`` function, as it is meant for
|
||||
internal use only.
|
||||
* The implementation of ``data_info.DataInfo`` has changed (for a considerable
|
||||
performance boost). Generally, this should not affect simple subclasses, but
|
||||
because the class now uses ``__slots__`` any attributes on the class have to
|
||||
be explicitly given a slot.
|
||||
* ``IERS`` tables now use ``nan`` to mark missing values
|
||||
(rather than ``1e20``).
|
||||
> astropy.visualization
|
||||
* The default ``clip`` value is now ``False`` in ``ImageNormalize``.
|
||||
* The default ``clip`` value is now ``False`` in ``simple_norm``.
|
||||
|
||||
* Infinite values are now excluded when calculating limits in
|
||||
``ManualInterval`` and ``MinMaxInterval``. They were already excluded in
|
||||
all other interval classes.
|
||||
+ Bug Fixes
|
||||
> astropy.coordinates
|
||||
* The ``QuantityAttribute`` class now supports a None default value if a unit
|
||||
is specified.
|
||||
* When ``Representation`` classes with the same name are defined, this no
|
||||
longer leads to a ``ValueError``, but instead to a warning and the removal
|
||||
of both from the name registry (i.e., one either has to use the class itself
|
||||
to set, e.g., ``representation_type``, or refer to the class by its fully
|
||||
qualified name).
|
||||
> astropy.io.fits
|
||||
* Implemented skip (after warning) of header cards with reserved
|
||||
keywords in ``table_to_hdu``.
|
||||
* Add ``AstropyDeprecationWarning`` to ``read_table_fits`` when ``hdu=`` is
|
||||
selected, but does not match single present table HDU.
|
||||
> astropy.io.votable
|
||||
* Ignore BINARY2 null mask bits for string values
|
||||
on parsing a VOTable. In this way, the reader should never create masked
|
||||
values for string types.
|
||||
* Corrected a spurious warning issued for the ``value`` attribute of the
|
||||
``<OPTION>`` element in VOTable, as well as a test that erroneously
|
||||
treated the warning as acceptable.
|
||||
> astropy.nddata
|
||||
* ``Cutout2D`` will now get the WCS from its first argument if that argument
|
||||
has with WCS property.
|
||||
* ``overlap_slices`` will now raise a ``ValueError`` if the input
|
||||
position contains any non-finite values (e.g. NaN or inf).
|
||||
> astropy.stats
|
||||
* Fixed a bug where ``bayesian_blocks`` returned a single edge.
|
||||
* Fixed input data type validation for ``bayesian_blocks`` to work int
|
||||
arrays.
|
||||
> astropy.table
|
||||
* Fix bug where adding a column consisting of a list of masked arrays was
|
||||
dropping the masks.
|
||||
* ``Quantity`` columns with custom units can now round-trip via FITS tables,
|
||||
as long as the custom unit is enabled during reading (otherwise, the unit
|
||||
will become an ``UnrecognizedUnit``).
|
||||
* Fix bug where string values could be truncated when inserting into a
|
||||
``Column`` or ``MaskedColumn``, or when adding or inserting a row containing
|
||||
string values.
|
||||
> astropy.time
|
||||
* Fix bug when ``Time`` object is created with only masked elements.
|
||||
* Fix inaccuracy when converting between TimeDelta and datetime.timedelta.
|
||||
|
||||
> astropy.units
|
||||
* Ensure that output from test functions of and comparisons between quantities
|
||||
can be stored into pre-allocated output arrays (using ``out=array``)
|
||||
> astropy.utils
|
||||
* For the default ``IERS_Auto`` table, which combines IERS A and B values, the
|
||||
IERS nutation parameters "dX_2000A" and "dY_2000A" are now also taken from
|
||||
the actual IERS B file rather than from the B values stored in the IERS A
|
||||
file. Any differences should be negligible for any practical application,
|
||||
but this may help exactly reproducing results.
|
||||
> astropy.visualization
|
||||
* Calling ``WCSAxes.set_axis_off()`` now correctly turns off drawing the Axes.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix incorrect transformation behavior in ``WCSAxes.plot_coord`` and correctly
|
||||
handle when input coordinates are not already in spherical representations.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed ``ImageNormalize`` so that when it is intialized without
|
||||
``data`` it will still use the input ``interval`` class.
|
||||
* Fixed ``ImageNormalize`` to handle input data with non-finite
|
||||
values.
|
||||
> astropy.wcs
|
||||
* Fix incorrect value returned by
|
||||
``wcsapi.HighLevelWCSWrapper.axis_correlation_matrix``.
|
||||
* Fix NaN-masking of world coordinates when some but not all of the coordinates
|
||||
were flagged as invalid by WCSLIB. This occurred for example with WCS with >2
|
||||
dimensions where two of the dimensions were celestial coordinates and pixel
|
||||
coordinates ouside of the 'sky' were converted to world coordinates -
|
||||
previously all world coordinates were masked even if uncorrelated with the
|
||||
celestial axes, but this is no longer the case.
|
||||
* The default WCS to celestial frame mapping for world coordinate systems that
|
||||
specify ``TLON`` and ``TLAT`` coordinates will now return an ITRS frame with
|
||||
the representation class set to ``SphericalRepresentation``. This fixes a bug
|
||||
that caused ``WCS.pixel_to_world`` to raise an error for such world
|
||||
coordinate systems.
|
||||
* ``FITSWCSAPIMixin`` now returns tuples not lists from ``pixel_to_world`` and
|
||||
``world_to_pixel``.
|
||||
+ Other Changes and Additions
|
||||
* Versions of Python <3.6 are no longer supported.
|
||||
* Matplotlib 2.1 and later is now required.
|
||||
* Versions of Numpy <1.16 are no longer supported.
|
||||
* Updated the bundled CFITSIO library to 3.470. See
|
||||
``cextern/cfitsio/docs/changes.txt`` for additional information.
|
||||
* The bundled ERFA was updated to version 1.7.0. This is based on
|
||||
SOFA 20190722. This includes a fix to avoid precision loss for negative
|
||||
JDs, and also includes additional routines to allow updates to the
|
||||
leap-second table.
|
||||
* The default server for the IERS data files has been updated to reflect
|
||||
long-term downtime of the canonical USNO server.
