Bug 1678: Changed initialization procedure such that only the global controller fetches the time axes of all worker nodes, instead of all workers fetching the time axes of all workers. Also, ITRF coordinate computation now happens per direction for the center of the array, instead of per direction, per station. Further, modified SQL code in preparation of improved progress monitoring.

Added synonyms msin.name and msout.name (for SAS/MAC)

Use backtrace possibility

Bug 1491: Fix for bug reported by P. Serra, trying to flag on Stokes Q in a 2 polarization (XX,YY) set did not work.

Use I shapelet for undefined other shapelets

Bug 1491: Fix of somewhat confusing side effect of the dilation operation when the Equal polarisation setting was removed. Reported by A. Biggs.

Bug 1491: Fix of bug reported by A. Biggs: it was not possible to write individual polarizations to a set -- the tools would always write the first mask (XX normally) to the set. Default strategy was not affected.

Bug 1681: Print which configuration files are being read. This cannot be done using the logger, because it is not yet configured at that moment.

Made it possible to use an expression in nchan for startchan and nchan

Bug 1675: Implemented write of solver statistics and fixed a number of small details regarding writing of the parset into the HISTORY table.

Bug 1672: Selection of LBA/HBA dipole beam model now done at antenna field level, instead of at observation level. Changed warning about beam meta-data missing into an exception.

Had to rename msinfo (to msoverview)

Also list the fields

Bug1673: added BBS_timing.py analysis script that interpretes BBSKernel timer messages in kernel_<>_log

Adjusted the output a bit

Added a program to show the MS info
