LSL 3.0.0. Changes include:

  • Switch to the GNU scientific library for internal Bessel functions
  • Fixed an undefined variable error in lsl.statistics.robust.polyfit
  • Fixed a division error in lsl.misc.mathutils.sphfit when real_only=True
  • Switched to a "download on demand and cache" method of distributing data for LSL
  • Added a lsl.common.stations.ARX.revision() method to find the revision name for an ARX board
  • Added a new lsl.sim.beam module to find the dipole antenna response
  • Updated the telemetry client to also send the Python version (major.minor)
  • Dropped support for Python 2.7 and <3.8
  • Switched over to astropy for most internal astronomical calculations
  • Added astropy compatibility hooks for many LSL classes
  • Moved from multiprocessing to concurrent.futures for multi-processing support
  • Switched to multi-phase initialization for C++ extensions
  • Merged ARX response files into single file per board to reduce number of data files
  • Moved lsl.common.mcs value lookup functions over to enum.Enum classes
  • Updated the lsl.writer.fitsidi to write antenna coordinates in the ECEF frame
  • Changed 'elevation' to 'azimuth' in cases where it reference the angle above the horizon
  • Updated the ImgWPlus class to have a 'wcs' attribute to help with mapping image to world coordinates
  • Moved lsl.imaging.utils and lsl.imaging.overlays to using ImgWPlus instances for image to world coordinate mapping
  • Added the Fermi 3FGL, 4FGL, and 4FGL-DR4 catalogs
  • Updated many functions to be flexible with angle inputs so that accept float, astropy Angle or ephem Angle instances
  • Fixed how lsl.reader.vdif and lsl.writer.vdif deal with non-zero reference epochs
  • Added support for LWA-NA and other NDP-based stations
  • Changed lsl.common.metabundle into a general module that can work with metadata from any station
  • Added a DRX8 reader for future data format support
  • Updated gatherDebugging.py to make it more useful
  • Dropped the 'indicies' keyword from lsl.correlator.uvutils
  • Added support for the (experimental) GloTEC ionosphere model
