astropy v1.0.11 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-12-22 // over 7 years ago
  • ๐Ÿ› Bug Fixes

    astropy.coordinates

    • ๐ŸŽ‰ Initialising a SkyCoord from a list containing a single SkyCoord no longer removes the distance from the coordinate. [#5270]

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix errors in the implementation of the conversion to and from FK4 frames without e-terms, which will have affected coordinates not on the unit sphere (i.e., with distances). [#4293]

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix bug where with cds units enabled it was no longer possible to initialize an Angle. [#5483]

    • Ensure that search_around_sky and search_around_3d return integer type index arrays for empty (non) matches. [#4877, #5083]

    • Return an empty set of matches for search_around_sky and search_around_3d when one or both of the input coordinate arrays is empty. [#4875, #5083]

    astropy.io.ascii ^

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix a bug with empty value at end of tab-delimited table on Windows. [#5370]

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix reading of big ASCII tables (more than 2Gb) with the fast reader. [#5319]

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix segfault with FastCsv and row with too many columns. [#5534]

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix problem reading an AASTex format table that does not have \\ at the end of the last table row. [#5427]

    astropy.io.fits ^

    • โœ‚ Removed raising of AssertionError that could occur after closing or deleting compressed image data. [#4690, #4694, #4948]

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed bug that caused an ignored exception to be displayed under certain conditions when terminating a script after using fits.getdata(). [#4977]

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed usage of inplace operations that were raising an exception with recent versions of Numpy due to implicit casting. [#5250]

    astropy.io.votable

    • Fixed bug of Resource.__repr__() having undefined attributes and variables. [#5382]

    astropy.modeling ^

    • CompoundModel now correctly inherits _n_models, allowing the use of model sets [#5358]

    astropy.units ^

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed bug in Ci definition. [#5106]

    • Non-ascii cds unit strings are now correctly represented using str also on python2. This solves bugs in parsing coordinates involving strings too. [#5355]

    • ๐Ÿ‘ Ensure Quantity supports np.float_power, which is new in numpy 1.12. [#5480]

    astropy.utils ^

    • Fixed AttributeError when calling utils.misc.signal_number_to_name with Python3 [#5430].

    astropy.wcs ^

    • โšก๏ธ Update the _naxis{x} attributes when calling WCS.slice. [#5411]

    Other Changes and Additions

    • โšก๏ธ The bundled ERFA was updated to version 1.3.0. This includes the leap second planned for 2016 Dec 31. [#5418]
