v1.0.0

API changes:

  • The API of mcmc_lc has changed significantly (the function was marked
    experimental in previous release).
  • [DEPRECATION] In result of fit_lc, res.cov_names changed to
    res.vparam_names.
  • [DEPRECATION] In result of nest_lc, res.param_names changed to
    res.vparam_names. This is for compatibility between the results of fit_lc
    and nest_lc. [#30]
  • [DEPRECATION] Deprecate flatten keyword argument in fit_lc() in
    favor of explicit use of flatten_result() function.

Enhancements:

  • Many new built-in models.
  • Many new built-in bandpasses.
  • New remote data fetching system. [#73]
  • SALT2 model covariance available via Model.bandfluxcov() method and
    modelcov=True keyword argument passed to fit_lc.
  • New simulation function, zdist, generates a distribution of redshifts
    given a volumetric rate function and cosmology.
  • New simulation function, realize_lcs, simulates light curve data given a
    model, parameters, and observations.
  • Add color-related keyword arguments to plot_lc().
  • Add tighten_ylim keyword argument to plot_lc().
  • Add chisq() function and use internally in fit_lc().
  • Add SFD98Map class for dealing with SFD (1998) dust maps persistently so
    that the underlying FITS files are opened only once.
  • Update get_ebv_from_map() to work with new SkyCoord class in
    astropy.coordinates available in astropy v0.3 onward. Previously, this
    function did not work with astropy v0.4.x (where older coordinates classes
    had been removed).
  • Update to new configuration system available in astropy v0.4 onward.
    This makes this release incompatible with astropy versions less than
    0.4.
  • Now compatible with Python 3.
  • Increased test coverage.
  • Numerous minor bugfixes.
