Changelog for python39-astropy-6.0.0-2.1.i586.rpm :

* Thu Mar 07 2024 Ben Greiner - Don\'t test with python39-ipython: not available anymore
* Sat Dec 09 2023 Ben Greiner - Update to 6.0.0 [#]# New Features [#]## astropy.config
* The new ConfigNamespace.help() method provides a convenient way to get information about configuration items. [#13499] [#]## astropy.coordinates
* Support has been added to create geodetic representations not just for existing ellipsoids from ERFA, but also with explicitly provided values, by defining a subclass of BaseGeodeticRepresentation with the equatorial radius and flattening assigned to _equatorial_radius and _flattening attributes. [#14763]
* Add BaseBodycentricRepresentation, a new spheroidal representation for bodycentric latitudes and longitudes. [#14851]
* Support Numpy broadcasting over frame data and attributes. [#15121] [#]## astropy.cosmology
* Registered a latex writer for exporting a Cosmology object to a LaTex table. [#14701]
* Added argument rename to Cosmology’s I/O, allowing for input and output symbols to be renamed. [#14780]
* All non-abstract Cosmology subclasses are now automatically registered to work with Astropy’s YAML serialization. [#14979]
* Cosmology I/O now auto-identifies the ‘.tex’ suffix with the ‘ascii.latex’ format. [#15088]
* The Cosmology class now has a new property to access the parameters of the cosmology: .parameters. This property return a read-only dictionary of all the non-derived parameter values on the cosmology object. When accessed from the class (not an instance) the dictionary contains Parameter instances, not the values. [#15168]
* The field default has been added to Parameter. This can be used to introspect the default value of a parameter on a cosmology class e.g. LambdaCDM.H0.default. [#15400] [#]## astropy.io.fits
* Add new option decompress_in_memory to fits.open, to decompress the whole file in memory at once, instead of decompressing the file progressively as data is needed. Default behavior is better for memory usage but sometimes slow, especially for files with many small HDUs. [#15501] [#]## astropy.io.votable
* Add support for Parquet serialization of VOTables. Writing of this serialization is available with using the new \'votable.parquet\' format. [#15281]
* Added MIVOT feature through the MivotBlock class that allows model annotations reading and writing in VOTable. [#15390] [#]## astropy.modeling
* Added a GeneralSersic2D model that can have “boxy” or “disky” isophotes. [#15545] [#]## astropy.nddata
* A more flexible and/or compact string representation is now available for NDData objects which visually indicates masked entries, and provides for better for dask array support. [#14438] [#]## astropy.table
* The new Row.get() method, analogous to dict.get(), returns the value of the specified column from the row if the column present, otherwise it returns a fallback value, which by default is None. [#14878] [#]## astropy.time
* Masked Time instances now use astropy’s own Masked class internally. This means that Masked input is now properly recognized, and that masks get propagated also to Quantity output (such as from a TimeDelta converted to a unit of time), creating MaskedQuantity instances. [#15231]
* Added a TimeDelta format quantity_str that represents the time delta as a string with one or more Quantity components. This format provides a human-readable multi-scale string representation of a time delta. The default output sub-format is not considered stable in this release, please see astropy/astropy#15485 for more information. [#15264] [#]## astropy.uncertainty
* Uncertainty Distribution now support structured data types, and as a result it now works also with EarthLocation. [#15304]
* Uncertainty Distribution can now be used inside representations, which also allows basic support in SkyCoord. While most calculations work, there are remaining issues. For instance, the repr does not show that the coordinates are distributions. [#15395] [#]## astropy.units
* Add support for gc2gde and gd2gce erfa functions to allow geodetic representations using equatorial radius and flattening. [#14729] [#]## astropy.utils
* The astropy.utils.metadata.MetaData default dictionary can now be set with the default_factory keyword argument. [#15265]
* astropy.utils.decorators.deprecated now adds the __deprecated__ attribute to the objects it wraps, following the practice in https://peps.python.org/pep-0702/. [#15310] [#]## astropy.visualization
* Add WCSAxes.text_coord method to print text using SkyCoord objects parallel to plotting data points with WCSAxes.plot_coord. [#14661] [#]## astropy.wcs
* Support WCS descriptions of basic planetary coordinate frames. [#14820]
* Updated bundled WCSLIB version to 8.1. This update adds support planetary keywords A_RADIUS, B_RADIUS, C_RADIUS, BLON_OBS, BLAT_OBS, and BDIS_OBS in auxprm and adds wcsprm::time to the wcsprm struct to record the TIME axis. This update also includes several bug fixes. For a full list of changes - see http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/mcalabre/WCS/CHANGES [#15035] [#]# API Changes [#]## astropy.config
* Removed deprecated ConfigurationMissingWarning class and update_default_config function; There are no replacements as they should no be used anymore. [#15466] [#]## astropy.convolution
* Invalid kernel arithmetic operations now raise a KernelArithmeticError instead of a bare Exception. [#14728]
* Added base KernelError error class and removed DiscretizationError error class (a ValueError will be raised instead). [#14732]
* discretize_model will now raise a ValueError if mode=\'oversample\' and factor does not have an integer value. [#14794] [#]## astropy.coordinates
* Removed deprecated angle parsing and formatting utilities from angle_utilities. Use the functions from angle_formats instead. [#14675]
* The deprecated functionality of initializing Angle or Longitude from a tuple is no longer supported. [#15205]
* Angle-related classes and functions have been moved within astropy.coordinates. There is no change to public API as everything moved should still be imported from astropy.coordinates, not a sub-module. If you are using private API, try importing from astropy.coordinates instead. If you need something that has been moved and is not available in astropy.coordinates, please open an issue on the Astropy issue tracker. [#15220]
* It is no longer possible to pass frame classes to the transform_to() method of a low-level coordinate-frame class. It is still possible to pass frame instances. The transform_to() method of the high-level SkyCoord class is unaffected. [#15500] [#]## astropy.cosmology
* Removed support of importing private constants and functions from astropy.cosmology.flrw. [#14672]
* Removed deprecated Cosmology Parameter argument fmt. [#14673]
* Removed deprecated vectorize_if_needed and inf_like from cosmology.utils. [#14677]
* Removed deprecated import paths from astropy.cosmology.core. [#14782]
* Cosmology Parameter is now a dataclass, and can work with all of Python’s dataclasses machinery, like field introspection and type conversion. [#14874]
* A new property – scale_factor0 – has been added to Cosmology objects. This is the scale factor at redshift 0, and is defined to be 1.0. [#14931]
* Added registration label ascii.latex to Cosmology IO. [#14938]
* The private module astropy.cosmology.utils has been deprecated. [#14980]
* Removed deprecated get_cosmology_from_string class method in default_cosmology; use get instead. [#15467] [#]## astropy.io.ascii
* Several arguments in functions within astropy.io.ascii have been deprecated and are either renamed or scheduled to be removed.
* read(): - Reader will be removed. Instead supply the equivalent format argument. - Inputter has been renamed to inputter_cls. - Outputter has been renamed to outputter_cls.
* get_reader(): - Reader has been renamed to reader_cls. - Inputter has been renamed to inputter_cls. - Outputter has been renamed to outputter_cls.
* write(): - Writer will be removed. Instead supply the equivalent format argument.
* get_writer(): - Writer has been renamed to writer_cls. [#14914]
* Removed deprecated astropy.io.ascii.tests.common.raises test helper; use pytest.raises instead. [#15470] [#]## astropy.io.fits
* Deprecate _ExtensionHDU and _NonstandardExtHDU (use ExtensionHDU or NonstandardExtHDU instead). [#15396]
* Remove special handling of TCTYP TCUNI TCRPX TCRVL TCDLT TRPOS (#7157). [#15396]
* Rename and deprecate TableHDU.update to TableHDU.update_header, for consistency with ImageHDU. [#15396] [#]## astropy.io.misc
* Removed deprecated astropy.io.misc.asdf subpackage. Use asdf-astropy package instead. [#14668]
* fnunpickle and fnpickle are deprecated because they are not used anywhere within astropy. If you must, use the module from Python standard library but be advised that pickle is insecure so you should only unpickle data that you trust. [#15418] [#]## astropy.io.votable
* Removed deprecated pedantic option from the astropy.io.votable.table.parse() function and the corresponding configuration setting. Use the verify option instead. [#14669]
* Class astropy.io.votable.tree.Table has been renamed to TableElement to avoid sharing the name with astropy.table.Table. [#15372]
* Fully removed support for version = ‘1.0’ on VOTableFile__init__() and changed its tests to check correctly. It was raising a DeprecationWarning and now is raising a ValueError. [#15490] [#]## astropy.modeling
* Removed the AliasDict class from modeling.utils. [#12943]
* Creating a model instance with parameters that have incompatible shapes will now raise a ValueError rather than an IncompatibleShapeError. [#15209]
* Removal of deprecated code _model_to_fit_params and _fitter_to_model_params from fitting.py. [#15461] [#]## astropy.stats
* The BoxLeastSquares, BoxLeastSquaresResults and LombScargle classes are not available from astropy.stats anymore, they are now available only from astropy.timeseries. [#15530] [#]## astropy.tests
* Removed deprecated deprecation, warning, and exception handling functionality provided by astropy.tests.helper. [#14670]
* astropy.tests.command.FixRemoteDataOption and astropy.tests.command.AstropyTest are deprecated. They are no longer necessary after sunsetting astropy-helpers. [#15204] [#]## astropy.time
* Time has switched to use Masked arrays internally, instead of indicating masked values using NaN in the internal jd2 attribute. As a result, any output from instances, such as one gets with, say, the .isot format, will also use Masked by default.
* For backwards compatibility, a new configuration item, astropy.time.conf.masked_array_type is introduced which is set to “astropy” by default (which indicates one wants to use Masked), but can also be set to “numpy”, in which case numpy.ma.MaskedArray will be used where possible (essentially, for all but Quantity). [#15231]
* Changed the TimeDelta init signature to be consistent with that of Time. Previously the argument order was val, val2, format, scale, copy. Now the order is val, val2, format, scale,
*, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, copy, where the arguments after the
* must be specified by keyword. [#15264] [#]## astropy.timeseries
* Removed deprecated midpoint_epoch in fold function; use epoch_time instead. [#15462] [#]## astropy.uncertainty
* The .dtype attribute exposed by Distribution is now that of the samples, rather than one that has a “samples” entry. This makes quantities with structured data types and units easier to support, and generally makes the Distribution appear more similar to regular arrays. It should have little effect on code. For instance, distribution[\"samples\"] still will return the actual distribution.
* As a consequence of this refactoring, most arrays that are not C-contiguous can now be viewed and will thus not be copied on input any more. The only exceptions are arrays for which the strides are negative.
* Note that the true data type is considered an implementation detail. But for reference, it now is a structured data type with a single field, “samples”, which itself is an array of “sample” fields, which contain the actual data. [#15304] [#]## astropy.units
* Like np.ndarray, under numpy 2.0 Quantity and all its subclasses (Angle, Masked, etc.) will no longer support the .ptp() method. Use np.ptp(...) instead.
* Similarly, support for the much less frequently used .newbyteorder() and .itemset() methods has been removed. [#15378]
* The following deprecated functionality has been removed: - littleh unit and with_H0 equivalency. They are still available from cosmology.units. - brightness_temperature equivalency no longer automatically swaps the order of its arguments if it does not match the expectation. - PhysicalType no longer supports str methods and attributes. [#15514] [#]## astropy.utils
* Removed deprecated OrderedDescriptor, OrderedDescriptorContainer, and set_locale in astropy.utils.misc. [#14679]
* is_path_hidden() and walk_skip_hidden() are deprecated. [#14759]
* The structure of utils.metadata has been refactored, but all the available functions and classes are still present and should be imported as before. [#15166]
* The astropy.utils.metadata.MetaData class, which is used throughout astropy to carry metadata on tables, columns, etc., can now also be used on dataclasses.
* When accessing the meta attribute on a class astropy.utils.metadata.MetaData now returns None instead of itself. [#15237]
* The astropy.utils.metadata.MetaData class, which is used throughout astropy to carry metadata on tables, columns, etc., can now also be used on frozen dataclasses. [#15404]
* Removed deprecated version_path in minversion function; it is no longer used. [#15468] [#]## astropy.visualization
* The bboxes, ticklabels_bbox, and tick_out_size arguments to astropy.visualization.wcaxes.ticklabels.TickLabels.draw() now have no effect and are deprecated. This is to allow rasterized ticks to be drawn correctly on WCSAxes. [#14760]
* It is now not possible to pass any keyword arguments to astropy.visualization.wcsaxes.WCSAxes.draw(). Previously passing any keyword arguments would have errored anyway, as matplotlib.axes.Axes.draw() does not accept keyword arguments. [#14772]
* Deprecated the exp attribute in the LogStretch, InvertedLogStretch, PowerDistStretch, and InvertedPowerDistStretch stretch classes, and the power attribute in the PowerStretch. Instead, use the a attribute, which matches the input keyword. [#15538]
* Removed the maximum value of the a parameter in the AsinhStretch and SinhStretch stretch classes. [#15539] [#]## astropy.wcs
* Removed deprecated accuracy from all_world2pix method in WCS; use tolerance instead. [#15464]
* NoConvergence no longer accepts arbitrary keyword arguments. [#15504] [#]# Bug Fixes [#]## astropy.coordinates
* Fixed minor bug when getting solar system positions of objects from Type 3 SPICE kernel files. [#15612] [#]## astropy.cosmology
* The exponent in w0wzCDM.de_density_scale has been corrected to 3, from -3. This correction has also been made to the scalar inv_efunc cpython functions. [#14991]
* pandas.Series are now uniformly converted to their underlying data type when given as an argument to a Cosmology method. [#15600] [#]## astropy.io.fits
* Reading a table from FITS now respects the TNULL property of a column, passing it into the column’s fill_value. [#14723]
* Fix crash when a PrimaryHDU has a GROUPS keyword with a non-boolean value (i.e. not a random-groups HDU). [#14998]
* Fixed a bug that caused Cutout2D to not work correctly with CompImageHDU.section [#14999]
* Fixed a bug that caused compressed images with TFORM missing the optional ‘1’ prefix to not be readable. [#15001]
* Ensure that tables written to FITS with both masked and unmasked columns roundtrip properly (previously, all integer columns would become masked if any column was masked). [#15473]
* Fix segfault with error report in tile decompression. [#15489] [#]## astropy.io.votable
* Output of repr for VOTable instance now clearly shows it is a VOTable and not generic astropy Table. [#14702] [#]## astropy.modeling
* All models can be pickled now. [#14902] [#]## astropy.nddata
* Restore bitmask propagation behavior in NDData.mask, plus a fix for arithmetic between masked and unmasked NDData objects. [#14995] [#]## astropy.table
* Table.as_array now respects the fill_value property of masked columns. [#14723]
* Fix a bug where table indexes were not using a stable sort order. This was causing the order of rows within groups to not match the original table order when an indexed table was grouped. [#14907]
* Fixed issue #14964 that when grouping a Table on a mixin column such as Quantity or Time, the grouped table keys did not reflect the original column values. For Quantity this meant that the key values were pure float values without the unit, while for Time the key values were the pair of jd1 and jd2 float values. [#14966] [#]## astropy.time
* Ensure that the Time caches of formats and scales do not get out of sync with the actual data, even if another instance, holding a view of the data is written to. E.g., if one does t01 = t[:2], and sets t[0] after, it is now guaranteed that t01.value will correctly reflect that change in value. [#15453] [#]## astropy.units
* In VOunits, “pix”, “au”, “a”, and “ct” are removed from the list of deprecated units. [#14885] [#]## astropy.utils
* Ufuncs with more than 2 operands (such as erfa.dtf2d) now work also if all inputs are scalars and more than two inputs have masks. [#15450]
* Ensured that str(masked_array) looks like str(unmasked_array) also for array scalars. Thus, like regular array scalars, the precision is ignored for float, and strings do not include extra quoting. [#15451] [#]## astropy.visualization
* The location of ticklabels on a WCSAxes is now correctly calculated when the figure is rasterized. [#14760]
* Fixed a bug where a ValueError would be raised in the AsinhStretch and SinhStretch classes for valid a parameter values. [#15539] [#]## astropy.wcs
* wcs.validate(filename) now properly closes the file handler. [#15054]
* Fix a regression in custom WCS mapping due to the recent introduction of Solar System frames. [#15630] [#]# Other Changes and Additions
* The minimum supported version of NumPy is now 1.22. [#15006]
* Moved International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems (IERS) and Leap Second files out into standalone astropy-iers-data package, maintaining full backward-compatibility in the astropy.utils.iers API. Deprecation warnings may be issued when certain files are accessed directly. [#14819]
* Switch from using setup.cfg for project configuration to using pyproject.toml. [#15247]
* Update bundled expat to 2.5.0. [#15585]- Drop astropy-pr15479-pvstar.patch

* Issue at gh#astropy/astropy#15537
* Fri Oct 06 2023 Ben Greiner - Update to 5.3.4 [#]# Bug Fixes [#]## astropy.io.misc
* Updated ``astropy.io.misc.yaml`` so ``dump()` with a numpy object array or ``load()`` with YAML representing a Numpy object array both raise ``TypeError``. This prevents problems like a segmentation fault. [#15373] [#]## astropy.io.votable
* Fixed a bug in ``convert_to_writable_filelike`` where ``GzipFile`` was not closed properly. [#15359] [#]## astropy.units
* In VOUnit, the spaces around the slash were removed in the formatting of fractions, and fractional powers now also use the \"
*
*\" operator. [#15282]
* We now ensure that the unit ``u.cgs.cm`` is just an alias of ``u.si.cm``, instead of a redefinition. This ensures that ``u.Unit(\"cm\") / u.cm`` will reliably cancel to dimensionless (instead of some \"cm / cm\"). [#15368] [#]## astropy.utils
* For ``Masked``, ``np.ptp`` and the ``.ptp()`` method now properly account for the mask, ensuring the result is identical to subtracting the maximum and minimum (with the same arguments). [#15380] [#]# Other Changes and Additions
* Compatibility with Python 3.12. [#14784]
* Replaced the URL of ``IETF_LEAP_SECOND_URL`` because the original is now defunct and IETF now defers to IANA for such look-up. [#15421]

* Fix for collapse operations on NDData without masks or units. [#15082] [#]## astropy.units
* Modified the implementation of np.power() for instances of Quantity to allow any array as the second operand if all its elements have the same value. [#15101]
* Sun Jul 16 2023 Dirk Müller - update to 5.3.1:
* The exponent in ``wowzCDM.de_density_scale`` has been corrected to 3, from -3.

* Fix to ITRS frame earth_location attribute to give the correct result for a topocentric frame. [#14180] [#]## astropy.cosmology
* Bounds are no longer passed to the scipy minimizer for methods Brent and Golden. The scipy minimizer never used the bounds but silently accepted them. In scipy v1.11.0.dev0+ an error is raised, so we now pass None as the bounds to the minimizer. Users should not be affected by this change. [#14232] [#]## astropy.io.fits

* Wed Dec 21 2022 Ben Greiner - Update to 5.2
* Astropy 5.2 is a major release that adds significant new functionality since the 5.1 release.
* In particular, this release includes:
* Quantity data types
* Updates to astropy.cosmology
* Topocentric ITRS Frame
* Enhanced Fixed Width ASCII Tables
* Accessing cloud-hosted FITS files
* Drawing the instrument beam and a physical scale bar on celestial images
* Interior ticks and tick labels
* Support for tilde-prefixed paths
* CCDData PSF Image representation
* In addition to these major changes, Astropy 5.2 includes a large number of smaller improvements and bug fixes.- Move to PEP517 build- Revert rpmlintrc: the whitelist error category has been removed from rpmlint- Add astropy-pr14194-numpy1.24.patch gh#astropy/astropy#14194
* Mon Nov 21 2022 Ben Greiner - Whitelist stupid rpmlint error
* https://docs.astropy.org/en/latest/development/testguide.html#astropy-test
* gh#rpm-software-management/rpmlint#965
* Sun Oct 23 2022 Ben Greiner - Update to 5.1.1 [#] API Changes [#]# astropy.wcs
* The pixel argument to astropy.visualization.wcsaxes.ticklabels.TickLabels.add no longer does anything, is deprecated, and will be removed in a future astropy version. It has been replaced by a new required data argument, which should be used to specify the data coordinates of the tick label being added.
* This changes has been made because it is (in general) not possible to correctly calculate pixel coordinates before Matplotlib is drawing a figure. [#12630] [#] Bug Fixes [#]# astropy.coordinates
* Fixed a bug that prevented SkyOffsetFrame instances to be pickled by adding a custom __reduce__ method to the class (see issue #9249). [#13305]
* Fixed the check for invalid Latitude values for float32 values. Latitude now accepts the float32 value of pi/2, which was rejected before because a comparison was made using the slightly smaller float64 representation. See issue #13708. [#13745] [#]# astropy.io.ascii
* Fixed confusing chained exception messages of read() function when it fails. [#13170]
* When writing out a :class:`~astropy.table.Table` to HTML format, the formats keyword argument to the :meth:`~astropy.table.Table.write` method will now be applied. [#13453] [#]# astropy.io.fits
* heapsize is now checked for VLA tables. An error is thrown whether P format is used but the heap size is bigger than what can be indexed with a 32 bit signed int. [#13429]
* Fix parsing of ascii TFORM when precision is missing. [#13520]
* A compressed image HDU created from the header of a PRIMARY HDU, now correctly updates \'XTENSION\' and \'SIMPLE\' keywords. [#13557]
* Empty variable-length arrays are now properly handled when pathological combinations of heapoffset and heapsize are encountered. [#13621]
* PCOUNT and GCOUNT keywords are now removed from an uncompressed Primary header, for compliancy with fitsverify behavior. [#13753] [#]# astropy.modeling
* Bugfix for using MagUnit units on model parameters. [#13158]
* Fix bug in using non-linear fitters to fit 0-degree polynomials using weights. [#13628] [#]# astropy.table
* Fix a problem where accessing one field of a structured column returned a Column with the same info as the original column. This resulted in unintuitive behavior in general and an exception if the format for the column was set. [#13269]
* Tables with columns with structured data can now be properly stacked and joined. [#13306]
* Update jQuery to 3.6.0, to pick up security fixes. [#13438]
* Fix a Python 3.11 compatibility issue. Ensure that when removing a table column that the pprint_include_names or pprint_exclude_names attributes get updated correctly. [#13639]
* When using add_columns with same indexes in indexes option or without specifying the option, the order of the new columns will now be kept. [#13783]

* Ensure that mixin columns and their info are not shared between tables even when their underlying data is shared with copy=False. [#13842] [#]# astropy.time
* Fix Time.insert() on times which have their out_subfmt set. [#12732]
* Prevent Time() from being initialized with an invalid precision leading to incorrect results when representing the time as a string. [#13068]
