ORAC-DR: 2015B ORAC-DR Release Notes

Description

These are the 2015B release notes containing changes since the 2015A Starlink release.

General
  • Some contact email addresses have been updated.
  • Allow object names with apostrophes or equals signs.
  • Debug mode will now print the command lines used into the log.
  • Line graphics leave gaps for missing values and hence are clearer.

  • Improvement made to spike filtering limits.
  • Better handling of hybrid-spectra combination when the overlap is small.
  • Tile borders removed from frame cubes.
  • Improved histogram-peak finding algorithm to cope with more unusual distributions.
  • Fixed bugs including calculation of median Tsys for large and sparse datasets, and flatfield determination for curtailed observations.
LCOGT
  • Synchronised to 2015-10-22 LCOGT's subversion repository.
UKIRT
  • Extends the search for sources in chopped observations but restricted to prevent picking up the wrong beam.
