Starlink Software Collection — 2017A Release Notes

Highlights

  • cremsg may now segfault slightly less often.

Changes to Applications

ATOOLS

  • Added a "DISTANCE" output parameter to astdistance.

CUPID

  • Improved accuracy of calculation of clump volumes.
  • Corrected clump centroid pixel positions.

GAIA (ascl:1403.024)

  • Added unicoderadec option to control if unicode RA and Dec labels are used.

KAPPA (ascl:1403.022)

  • Added scale and offset to ALIGN2D output parameter TR if FITVAL is enabled.
  • Modified DISPLAY parameter KEYPOS to allow the vertical position also to be specified.
  • Allowed a subset of pens to be used with the new DISPLAY parameter PENRANGE.

ORAC-DR (ascl:1310.001)

ORAC-DR change log

POLPACK (ascl:1405.014)

  • ?

SMURF (ascl:1310.007)

  • Retain spike flags between iterations of skyloop.
  • Allowed zero_snrlo parameters to be zero. Dimmconfig files which set ast.zero_snrlo=0 should now set ast.zero_snrlo=<undef> to retain the previous behavior. The same goes for com.zero_snrlo, flt.zero_snrlo, ssn.zero_snrlo and pca.zero_snrlo.

  • Included consideration of map offsets when checking for positional excursions with SCUBA-2.
  • Improved handling of gaps in fitted CSO and WVM opacity data.
  • Updated list of dates on which the JCMT WVM is considered unusable (in auto mode) to include 3/29/2017. (Its usage can be forced with the ext.tausrc=wvmraw option if desired.)
  • Added support for the new JCMT DTAI FITS header. This gives the offset of TAI from UTC and will now be used in preference to the leap second information in AST when set.

SOURCEPLOT

  • The included JCMT source catalog has been updated.
