Full Changelog: v2.4.0...v2.4.1

v2.4.0

New release of nuztf v2.4.0.

The major change versus v2.3.0 is the deprecation of cone scans, which are now completely replaced by much faster single-query, healpix-based skymap scans. This release also includes performance improvements in the observation coverage calculations.

v2.3.0

New release of nuztf v2.3.0.

The major change versus v2.2.1 is the inclusion of the irsa.py, and the associated functionality to obtain forced photometry using science images. Also includes several minor bug fixes, modifications and updates to dependencies.

v2.2.1

This minor version change includes faster filtering and an optimized healpix search strategy, as well as more streamlined handling of cutouts.

v2.2.0

v2.2.0 release of NuZTF. The changes include nicer lightcurve/alert plotting and a complete rehaul of the grb/gw-scanning: It's now compatible with the AMPEL API, which now has a healpix-based query, and GRB skymaps are downloaded automatically.

v2.1.0 Release

New v2.1.0 release of NuZTF. The main change from the previous v2.0.0 is to fix the python version to 3.8, in line with the incompatibility of python 3.9 with ampel. Also includes an updated GCN template, and the option to set the output path for candidate PDFs.

v2.0.0

V2.0.0 release of NuZTF. Highlight changes from the last release (v1.1) include:

• A new repo name (nuztf)
• Reorganisation of scrips with a pythonic structure
• The package being pip-installable, with automatic upload to pypi for tagged releases, and a link to that is provided in the readme
• Use of dependabot to manage fixed versions for dependencies
• Use of Ampel api functions, replacing need for ssh tunnels

V1.1 Release

New v1.1 release of the Ampel Follow-up Pipeline, now compatible with the latest v0.7 Ampel release.

V1 Release

First release of ZTF followup pipeline, post-O3, for GRB and post-AT2019dsg neutrino follow-up
