was eating too much memory, leading to stall and crash.

MODEL command works correctly on Mosaics.
-
Corrected 10-Jun-2023,
Discovered 15-Nov-2022
UV_RESTORE in Mosaic
mode was leading to
subsequent crashes if the channel range is restricted by
UV_MAP because
a single beam cannot be applied to all channels.
This is often the case for ALMA data, because of the shift implied by the
Doppler correction when creating the UVFITS files. A work around is to
manually drop the edge channels by reading a coherent range of channels,
and over-writing the UV data.

LOG command

-
Corrected 20-Jan-2023
The casagildas() tool provided by
IMAGER
to CASA to export MS in UVFITS file occasionally produced additional UVFITS files
containing only part of the data for some spectral windows. It also sometimes failed
on specific spectral setups, where the same frequency occured for one narrow band and
one wide band window.
- 05-Jan-2023 Complete implementation of the SAULT Mosaic construction
method. Modified the
MOSAIC command for this.
- 15-Nov-2022 Add the

STOKES on internal buffers.
-
Corrected 12-Apr-2022
UV_RESIDUAL was not working on a non-sorted Mosaic data set.
This could only happen by reading the Clean Component Table after reading the UV data, without
any imaging step.
Changes in Version 3.3
- 23-Mar-2022 Introduce the
IMAGER\ language. Implement the
PIPELINE
command there, and some miscellaneous (previously user-defined) commands like
TIPS
and
POPUP
Changes in Version 3.2
- 18-Mar-2022 Add the
CLEAN /RESTART capability
- 10-Mar-2022 Improve dirty beam related commands behaviour: replace

Corrected 18-Jan-2022,
Discovered 17-Jan-2022 only SINGLEDISH data was
incorrectly read, probably since 20-Sep-2021 (v1.53 of read.f90). Improper values were thus
used by the
UV_SHORT command.
-
Corrected 12-Jan-2022 Mosaic offsets were improperly computed by command
UV_FIELDS since 29-Jul-2021 (bug reported 10-Jan-2022). The script
@ fits_to_uvt was thus leading to wrong pointing offsets.
- 10-Jan-2022 Implement the
LOAD command in
VIEWER.
-
Corrected 10-Jan-2022 A improper interaction between scripts was causing
strange behaviour when switching between
EXPLORE and
INSPECT_3D commands.
- 07-Jan-2022 Implement
SHOWPV and improve transposed data display.
-
Corrected 06-Jan-2022 The
SIC command DEFINE IMAGE failed on large

READ of FITS data cubes.
- 03-Jan-2022 Improve syntax of
COMBINE
-
Corrected 18-Dec-2021

UV_MERGE /MODE CONCATENATE).
- 17-Dec-2021 Improve
UV_CHECK BEAM and
FIT commands.
- 16-Dec-2021 Add the
UV_MERGE /MODE CONCATENATE
command to stitch adjacent or overlapping spectral windows.

BEAM_STEP = 1
after this, so far.
- 13-Dec-2021 Implement a fast, reliable version of "statcont"
through the
MAP_CONTINUUM command (run time
\(< 40\)
secs
for a 28 Gbyte data set on a 64-core machine)

up by huge amount for large (> 10 MegaVis) number of visibilities.

Corrected 13-Dec-2021 Remove occasional infinite loop in
MAP_CONTINUUM
with method GAUSS (discovered 01-Dec-2021)
- 08-Dec-2021 Change the CASA - GILDAS interface. Use pure-Python
scripts and put them in the $HOME/.casa directory to have
a CASA-version independent solution.
- 07-Dec-2021 A missing initialization was causing
UV_RESTORE
to use the slow mode on some compiler versions.
- 06-Dec-2021 Speed up (by a factor 5-10) the Natural weighting scheme
when there is only 1 channel.

UV_SHIFT bug correction for "false" mosaics (ID and MOFF columns)
-
Corrected 28-Jun-2021
UV_SORT bug correction for
/FILE option
- Discovered and
Corrected 27-Oct-2021
MAP_INTEGRATE lead to wrong units

Corrected 04-Apr-2021
MULTISCALE was using an incorrect convergence
strategy since years... Results were sub-optimal, and convergence was unduly slow.
- 17-Jun-2021 Add
SPECIFY FREQUENCIES command for VLA data
- 01-Jun-2021 Allow MULTISCALE Clean on Mosaics, better
