Hello all,

The SunPy project is very happy to announce the release of SunPy 0.9, the latest release of the SunPy core package.

SunPy 0.9 brings improved support for downloading data from the JSOC and bugfixes compared to the 0.8.x series of releases. The 0.9.x series will be the last series of SunPy releases to support Python 2. This is because Python 2 will not be maintained after 2019. The 0.9.x series will receive bugfixs only up until the and of life of Python 2 (around 18 months), and will also be the last version to include sunpy.spectra, sunpy.lightcurve and sunpy.wcs, all of which were deprecated in 0.8.

SunPy v0.9.0 contains 807 commits in 147 merged pull requests closing 310 issues from 31 people, 19 of which are first time contributors to SunPy. For more details on What's new in 0.9 see our website.

SunPy 0.9 can be installed from pip or conda using the following commands:

using conda:

$ conda config channels --append conda-forge
$ conda install sunpy

or using pip:

$ pip install sunpy

and updated using conda:

$ conda update sunpy
