toasty 0.14.0 (2021-12-13)

  • Expand the all-in-one FITS API, toasty.tile_fits, to invoke the
    hipsgen program when given an image that is larger than about 20° on the
    sky (#69, @imbasimba, @pkgw). This is the breakpoint at which WWT's tangential
    projection starts yielding visually poor results.
  • Add the toasty view CLI tool the builds on the above, and the new
    scripting support in the resarch app, to act as a command-line FITS viewer
    (#69, @pkgw)! Just run toasty view myfile.fits to view interactively in your
    browser, with sky context and all of the features provided by the research
    app.
  • When loading FITS collections, the hdu_index can now be a list of integers,
    instead of just one integer (#69, @imbasimba). This lets you specify different
    image HDUs to use for different input files.
  • Various new APIs and internal improvements to enable the above; there's a new
    toasty.fits_tiler module and new interfaces in toasty.collection.
  • Add a hack to strongarm AstroPy into being willing to load WCS from improper
    files that include TPV distortions without using the -TPV projection type
    (#69, @pkgw). This allows us to view some of the DASCH FITS files.
