2.4.2

Release 2.4.2

2.4.1

This minor release fixes the astropy version requirement and a bug in handling an empty ImageFileCollection:

• Fixes a crash when attempting to filter an already-empty ImageFileCollection,
  instead simply returning an empty ImageFileCollection. [#801]

• Fixes minimum astropy version in installation requirements. [#799]

2.3.1 -- fixes astropy 5.1 compatibility

This minor release fixes compatibility with astropy 5.1 and includes a packaging fix from new contributor @astrobatty

2.3.0 -- cosmic ray update

• The primary feature of this release is that it supports the latest astroscrappy release. astroscrappy is a Python/C implementation of the LAcosmic cosmic ray removal algorithm.

2.2.0 -- Image combination performance

This release contains some modest improvements in image combination performance. For the best performance, install the bottleneck. With bottleneck installed, median_combine is 2x faster.

Changes in this version:

• Image combination is faster for average and sum combine, and improves for all operations if the bottleneck package is installed.
• Pixel-wise weighting can be done for sum and average combine.
• When filtering an ImageFileCollection by keyword value, and not explicitly using a regex search pattern (regex_match=True), escape all special characters in the keyword value for a successful search.
• Return mask and uncertainty from combine even if input images have no mask or uncertainty.

Thanks to all of the people who contributed code, opened issues, and/or provided advice:

• Timothy P. Ellsworth-Bowers (@tbowers7) and Pey Lian Lim (@pllim) wrote code for this release.
• Yoonsoo Back (@ysBach) and Simon Conseil (@saimn) provided extensive input on image combination.
• Issues opened by Yash Gondhalekar (@Yash-10), Michael Kelley (@mkelley), Jane Rigby (@janerigby), and Aayushi Verma
  (@awesomecosmos) were closed in this release.
• Rieke Bohemann and Tim-Oliver Husser (@thusser) provided extensive details about issues with median combination which have been addressed in this release.

2.1.1

There are several minor fixes in this release:

New Features

• Improve integration of ImageFileCollection with image combination and document that integration [#762]

Other Changes and Additions

• Add memory_profiler as a test requirement [#739]
• Updated test suite to use absolute, not relative imports [#735]

Bug Fixes

• test_image_collection.py in the test suite no longer produces permanent files on disk and cleans up after itself. [#738]
• Change Combiner to allow accepting either a list or a generator [#757]
• ImageFileCollection now correctly returns an empty collection when an existing collection is filtered restrictively enough to remove all files. [#750]
• Logging now preserves all of the arguments when the keyword argument names are not used. [#756]

2.1.0 (re-relase for Zenodo)

The primary change in this release is a change to the behavior of cosmicray_lacosmic. Prior to this version the gain was applied to the input data without updating the units. That has been changed in this version. A more complete description is below.

There are two ways to correctly invoke ~ccdproc.cosmicray_lacosmic:

• Supply a gain-corrected image, in units of electron, and set gain=1.0
  (the default value) in cosmicray_lacosmic.
• Supply an image in adu and set the gain argument of
  cosmicray_lacosmic to the appropriate value for your
  instrument. Ideally, pass in a gain with units, but if units are
  omitted they will be assumed to be electron/adu.

ccdproc 2.0.1

2.0.1 fixes a bug that required pytest to be installed to import ccdproc.

Release notes from 2.0:

This is the first release of ccdproc that is Python 3 only!

New and improved

The ImageFileCollection for working with sets of images has several new features:

• Construct a collection from an explicit list of files.
• Filter files using regular expression matching.
• Create a new collection by filtering an existing collection.

Other new features include:

• Weights in image combination can be a 1D array.
• Reduced memory in image combination.
• Many fewer files open during image combination when using memory mapping and breaking the image stack into chunks.
• Better performance and a wider array of compression types for ImageFileCollection.
• Better handling of constructing error array when some image value are negative.

In addition, several bugs were fixed.

See the changelog for more details.
