CEP/DP3/AOFlagger/doc/site/CHANGELOG

+Version 1.3.0
+2011-04-26	André Offringa <of...nga@astro.rug.nl>
+
+  * Several esthetic changes to the gui, including rounded values on the axes, a z-axis scale and fixed z-scale
+  * Feature to create a graphical map of the antennas in a set
+  * Various improvements to collection of statistics, such as time-frequency noise plots
+  * Dynamic noise spectra generated by the CollectNoiseAction can be opened and re-flagged in RFI gui.
+  * Added several unit tests to test correctness of the more complicated algorithms
+  * New action that acts like it resamples the data in a specific way, for testing it side effects.
+  * Fringe fitting can be performed on any source now
+  * Bugfix: Fix of 1d convolution out-of-bounds error, reported by R. van Nieuwpoort
+  * Bugfix: fitting of curve when no data is present
+  * Bugfix: Fix of somewhat confusing side effect of the dilation operation when the Equal polarisation setting was removed. Reported by A. Biggs.
+  * Bugfix: Fix for bug reported by P. Serra, flagging on Stokes Q in a 2 polarization (XX,YY) set did not work
+  * Many other small bugfixes
+
+Version 1.2.0
+2011-02-28  André Offringa <of...nga@astro.rug.nl>
+
+  * Dependency on GSL removed
+  * Added RMS plot option
+  * Added option to rficonsole to specify data column used for flagging
+  * Added opening of solution tables
+  * Added some checks and error messages when making common strategy errors
+  * RFI console will now output the total percentages per polarization
+  * Added support for skipping mses that have already been flagged
+  * The edit strategy window works more intuitively now
+  * Goto window will select current baseline when opening
+  * RFI Console now writes an entry in the HISTORY table of the Measurement Set
+  * Logging has been formatted and start time was added.
+  * Added "Set and show image plane" button in plot menu
+  * Added feature to continue with already resorted MS in indirect baseline reader
+  * The AdapterAction has been replaced by the ForEachComplexComponentAction
+  * Strategy XML file is now formatted to make it human readable
+  * Allow indirect reading of an MS
+  * The indirect reading mode can be used in the GUI
+  * Allow reading of raw RCP files
+  * Changing the default threshold for baseline selection suggestor to 8 sigma
+  * Fixed several GUI issues that made the GUI crash when having multiple windows open
+  * Fixed error when opening reference tables, e.g. concattenated tables.
+  * Fixed two race conditions found by Helgrind
+  * Fixed bug in reported coordinates when zooming
+  * Fixed NaN issues while imaging certain sets
+  * Fixed bug that prevented column selection to actually have effect
+  * Allow lower memory machines
+  * Default strategy is about 20% faster and equally accurate
+  * Changed directory structure of source code
+  * Fixed various rare segmentation faults
+  * A lot of bug fixes and feature enhancements related to filtering
+  * A lot of doc fixes
+  * Fixed some bugs that caused NDPPP not to work
+  * Some Mac fixes by Ger van Diepen
+

It is described in the article "Post-correlation radio frequency interference classification methods" by Offringa et al, published in <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16471.x">MNRAS, Volume 405, Issue 1, pp. 155-167</a>.

 <p>The software has been tested extensively on low radio frequencies (150 MHz or lower) produced by the <a href="http://www.astron.nl/radio-observatory/astronomers/wsrt-astronomers">WSRT</a> and <a href="http://www.lofar.org">LOFAR</a> telescopes. LOFAR is the Low Frequency Array that is built in and around the Netherlands. Higher frequencies should work as well. Some of the methods implemented are the <tt>SumThreshold</tt>, the <tt>VarThreshold</tt> and the singular value decomposition (SVD) method. Included also are several surface fitting algorithms.</p>
