- Now it's possible to use
guider loadCartridge force cartridge=5
to load a cartridge bypassing the MCP.
- Fixed Ticket #2920; disable automatic scaling of Ti in raDec if Ti has been set manually.
- Actually call
PID.reset
when theresetPID
command gets called.
- Remove non-ascii character in
guider_movie
(fixes ticket #2922.
- When starting, guiderActor check whether
$GUIDERACTOR_DIR/lib/libguide.so
exists and fails if it does not. This prevents problems when observing if the guide tools have not been compiled. (#8). guideStep
now executes all the offsets at once making use oftcc guide
(#3).
- Applied recursive autoformatting and isort (#5).
- Removed references to LCO in files and functions.
- Rewritten

. Now it does not usesdss3tools

- Ticket #2325: if the number of valid stars is <= 2 (e.g., during centre-up), does not apply the fitting algorithm. Instead, uses the mean of the dRA and dDec offsets.
- Sets
fittingAlgorithm='NA'
whenFrameInfo
is instantiated. Fixes #2866
- Implemented use of
bumpversion
. - Implemented
GuiderActor.version
(needsactorcore >= v4_1_3
). - Ticket #2030: proc-gimg shows parameters we are guiding on.
- Allows to choose the fitting algorithm between the default, traditional one, and Umeyama. The fitting algorithm can be defined in the configuration file and overridden via de setFittingAlgorithm command.
- Added
POSERROR
keyword to the header to show the goodness of the fit.
- Using
X.Y.Z
instead ofvX_Y_Z
. - Updated
gcamFiberInfo.par
. - Some improvements to the reprocessFile command. It may work at APO.
GUIDEAXE
,GUIDEFOC
, andGUIDESCL

headers now should be updated correctly (for MJD >= 58212).
python/guiderActor/obsolete
(as for ticket #2596).
