astropy v2.0.6 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-04-23 // about 6 years ago
  • 🐛 Bug Fixes

    astropy.convolution

    • convolve(boundary=None) requires the kernel to be smaller than the image. This was never actually checked, it now is and an exception is raised. [#7313]

    astropy.units ^

    • u.quantity_input no longer errors if the return annotation for a function is None. [#7336, #7380]

    astropy.visualization

    • 0️⃣ Explicitly default to origin='lower' in WCSAxes. [#7331]

    • Lists of units are now converted in the Matplotlib unit converter. This means that for Matplotlib versions later than 2.2, more plotting functions now work with units (e.g. errorbar). [#7037]

    Other Changes and Additions

    • ⚡️ Updated the bundled CFITSIO library to 3.44. This is to remedy another critical security vulnerability that was identified by NASA. See cextern/cfitsio/docs/changes.txt for additional information. [#7370]
