HCIPy 0.3.0 Release notes

This HCIPy release contains full Stokes polarization support, some performance improvements and bug fixes. See the list of major changes below for a summary. This version supports Python 3.5+. This and later releases may still work with Python 2.7, but this is not a supported use case.

List of major changes

  • Many new tutorials (everyone)
  • Windows support for GifWriter (@jamienoss)
  • Support for partially polarized wavefronts using Stokes vectors (@stevenbos, @dsdoelman & @ehpor)
  • Addition of general Jones matrix optical elements (@dsdoelman, @stevenbos & @ehpor)
  • Addition of wave plates (@dsdoelman, @stevenbos & @ehpor)
  • Addition of linear and circular polarizers and beam splitters (@dsdoelman & @stevenbos)
  • Addition of a vector vortex coronagraph (@ehpor)
  • Addition of a vector Zernike wavefront sensor (@dsdoelman)
  • Automated testing of all polarization optical elements (@stevenbos, @dsdoelman & @ehpor)
  • Bug fix in the Zernike wavefront sensor (@dsdoelman)
  • Addition of a material refractive index catalog (@syhaffert & @ehpor)
  • Addition of better microlenses (@syhaffert)
  • Addition of better single/few mode fibers (@syhaffert)
  • Fixed APP optimization code (@dsdoelman)
  • Improved handling of agnostic optical elements (@ehpor)
  • Improved of documentation, including developer notes (@ehpor)
  • Removal of much old, unused code (@ehpor)
  • Subpixel interpolation of atmospheric wavefronts is now default (@ehpor)
  • Speed improvements for calculating telescope apertures of up to 12x (@ehpor)
  • Evaluation of field generators can now be supersampled by any factor (@ehpor)
  • Bug fix where data files were not found on pip-installed versions of HCIPy (@ehpor)
