Functional changes from previous versions

Changes in Version 3.3

  • 23-Mar-2022 Introduce the blueIMAGER\ language. Implement the magentaPIPELINE command there, and some miscellaneous (previously user-defined) commands like magentaTIPS and magentaPOPUP

Changes in Version 3.2

  • 18-Mar-2022 Add the magentaCLEAN /RESTART capability
  • 10-Mar-2022 Improve dirty beam related commands behaviour: replace blueMAP_BEAM_STEP by blueBEAM_STEP, use blueBEAM_SIZE to specify beam shape.
  • 07-Mar-2022 Allow magentaWRITE BEAM /APPEND in all cases
  • 08-Feb-2022 Implement the blueCLEAN_STOP syntax in magentaCLEAN
  • 10-Jan-2022 Implement the magentaLOAD command in red VIEWER.
  • 07-Jan-2022 Implement magentaSHOWPV and improve transposed data display.
  • 06-Jan-2022 Allow direct magentaREAD of FITS data cubes.
  • 03-Jan-2022 Improve syntax of magentaCOMBINE
  • 17-Dec-2021 Improve magentaUV_CHECK BEAM and magentaFIT commands.
  • 16-Dec-2021 Add the magentaUV_MERGE /MODE CONCATENATE command to stitch adjacent or overlapping spectral windows. Imaging is in general only possible using blueBEAM_STEP = 1 after this, so far.
  • 13-Dec-2021 Implement a fast, reliable version of "statcont" through the magentaMAP_CONTINUUM command (run time $< 40$ secs for a 28 Gbyte data set on a 64-core machine)
  • 13-Dec-2021 Globally revised the Robust weighting scheme. Speed up by huge amount for large (> 10 MegaVis) number of visibilities. UV data sorting not required anymore.
  • 08-Dec-2021 Change the CASA - GILDAS interface. Use pure-Python scripts and put them in the $HOME/.casa directory to have a CASA-version independent solution.
  • 07-Dec-2021 A missing initialization was causing magentaUV_RESTORE to use the slow mode on some compiler versions.
  • 06-Dec-2021 Speed up (by a factor 5-10) the Natural weighting scheme when there is only 1 channel.
  • 19-Nov-2021 Create the red VIEWER program, that only contains the blueDISPLAY\ language.
  • 19-Nov-2021 Expand the magentaCOMMAND ? Key mechanism to many commands.
  • 18-Nov-2021 Add the magentaSTATISTIC /UPDATE andmagentaFIT /JVM_FACTOR commands
