SunPy 0.8 Release
Stuart Mumford
The SunPy project is happy to announce the release of SunPy 0.8 “Expected Eclipse”.
SunPy 0.8 is the next major release of SunPy and contains 1442 commits in over 200 pull requests, closing 163 issues from 35 people, 17 of whom have never contributed before.
This release is a large milestone for the SunPy library. It contains large new features that have been in development for a number of years, and will form the foundation of SunPy for the future. The main additions are 'sunpy.net.Fido' and 'sunpy.timeseries', as well as major upgrades to 'sunpy.coordinates'. Along with this it deprecates some old parts of SunPy that have been rewritten, two submodules 'sunpy.lightcurve' and 'sunpy.wcs' have been superseded by 'sunpy.timeseries' and 'sunpy.coordinates' respectively. For a tour of the new functionality in this release see the “What’s new in 0.8” page: http://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/0.8.html
SunPy 0.8 can be installed either through conda or pip on Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6. For the first time with this release we have built binary wheels, which mean SunPy can be installed from PyPI without the need for a compiler.
To upgrade SunPy using conda run:
$ conda upgrade sunpy
Using pip run:
$ pip install --upgrade sunpy
The complete installation instructions can be found here: http://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/guide/installation/ (at the time of writing this email the windows conda packages are still being built).
In addition to people who have contributed to the code I would like to highlight the work of Nabil Freij who has done a lot of work in the last few months releasing bug fixes for the 0.7 series, and this 0.8 release, as well as a lot of behind the scenes work on SunPy's tooling. I would also like to thank Duygu Keşkek who has redesigned the sunpy.org page and the documentation as part of her GSOC project. Finally, I would like to welcome Monica Bobra and Sabrina Savage to the SunPy Board.
