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
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
Changes in Version 3.0
- 31-Oct-2021 Introduce new blueDISPLAY\ language. Move commands
magentaCATALOG, magentaCOLOR, magentaFIND, magentaEXPLORE, magentaINSPECT_3D, magentaSHOW,
magentaSTATISTIC, and magentaVIEW from their initial languages to this one.
- Improvements in control variables of magentaSHOW and related commands (e.g.
allow unit of contours to be specified).
Changes up to Version 2.8 dated of Jan 31, 2021
- 17-Jun-2021 Add magentaSPECIFY FREQUENCIES command for VLA data
- 01-Jun-2021 Allow MULTISCALE Clean on Mosaics, better magentaFIT command.
- 14-Dec-2020 magentaSPECTRAL_CLEAN command
- 31-Jan-2020 Add magentaCCT_CLEAN command
- 13-Nov-2020 Add magentaMAP_SMOOTH command
- 26-Oct-2020 Add magentaUV_SMOOTH command
- 11-Sep-2020 Add magentaKEPLER /MASK command for Mask creation
- 03-Sep-2020 Better behaviour of command magentaUV_TIME
- 01-Sep-2020 Improve magentaFIT command for Mosaics
Changes since Version 2.5 of Feb 27th, 2020, and older ones.
- 13-Nov-2020 Speed-up the magentaUV_RESTORE command.
- 30-Jul-2020 Miscellaneous improvements in the magentaKEPLER command
- 26-May-2020 Implementation of the magentaUV_DETECT command,
that encapsulates all actions needed for matched filtering in UV
plane.
- 14-May-2020 Proper implementation of the magentaUV_CORRRELATE command,
that performs matched filtering in the UV plane
- 13-May-2020 magentaMODEL defines the blueUV_MODEL variable
- 25-Mar-2020 Implementation of the magentaKEPLER command,
that allows optimal detection of spectral lines in Keplerian disks,
and estimates of radial profiles.
- 19-Mar-2020 Proper implementation of the magentaMODEL command,
with the magentaMODEL /MODE option and several channels.
- 11-Mar-2020 Command EXPLORE added to language BUNDLES
- 10-Mar-2020 CASA to GILDAS interface
The casagildas() tool has been totally re-written in pure Python
to avoid issues with incompatible releases of Fortran compilers and
Python between CASA and GILDAS
- 27-Feb-2020 magentaUV_SHORT now allows to use images with non-circular
beams as short spacings data. Such images can be, for example,
an ACA image to be combined with ALMA data.
- 24-Feb-2020 imager-linedb.sic script converted to
Python 2 and 3 compatible syntax
- 21-Feb-2020 magentaUV_MAP was crashing on Mosaic in Robust
weighting. Linked to a missing (although optional !) argument
to call doweig, despite the interface was used.
- 18-Feb-2020
3D size was incorrectly set by magentaUV_MAP on "huge" file (1200 x 1200 x 3840).
- 14-Feb-2020
Normalize message colours.
- 14-Feb-2020 Suppress blanking when not needed
- 13-Feb-2020 Make magentaUV_MERGE compliant with its Help:
allow to merge Line data sets in Continuum mode.
- 10-Feb-2020 magentaSLICE command changes.
The SLICE buffer had to be renamed to SLICED, as "slice()" is a
built-in Python method. The axis starts now from the closest point to
(0,0), leading to more intuitive slices.
- 06-Feb-2020 magentaMAP_COMPRESS syntax was incorrectly handled.
The HELP MAP_COMPRESS is still unclear, however.
- 18-Dec-2019
magentaVIEW CCT optimized by coding the component compression after
a magentaMULTI.
- 17-Dec-2019 magentaSELFCAL optimization (was using slow mode
in magentaUV_RESTORE by default).
- 27-Nov-2019 magentaUV_CHECK /FILE implemented.
- 27-Nov-2019 magentaUV_TIME /FILE implemented.
- 27-Nov-2019 magentaUV_SHIFT /FILE implemented.
- 20-Nov-2019 Make sure magentaUV_PREVIEW also works for 1 channel.
