New releases (1.1.27, 28, 29, and 30!)

[Christophe Morisset]

Dear PyNeb community,

Several new versions of PyNeb have been released over the past few months. Below is a summary of the new features and bug fixes introduced in each release.

Version 1.1.27

• Fixed a bug affecting ANN usage.

• Fixed a compatibility issue with recent NumPy versions (a previous fix was unintentionally reverted due to a GitHub misuse).

• Added support for reading STOUT files.

  • The STOUT directory must be specified through the STOUT_DIR environment variable.

  • The STOUT format is the one used by Cloudy; corresponding atomic data are located in the data/stout directory of Cloudy.

  • Cloudy also relies on data from the CHIANTI database. Users should verify which database is used for each ion. This information can be found in data/stout/masterlist/Stout.ini (see Hazy for details).

Version 1.1.28

• Added support for reading CHIANTI v11 data.

  • The database can be downloaded from: https://www.chiantidatabase.org/chianti_download.html

Version 1.1.29

• Corrected minor bugs.

• Added Full_Pipeline.ipynb to the documentation.

  • This notebook demonstrates how to compute ionic abundances from observations within a single workflow, using Monte Carlo synthetic observations to estimate uncertainties.

• Updated all other notebooks.

• Added normwave to Observation.addLine.

• Converted README.rst to README.md.

Version 1.1.30

• Added Atom.plotGrotrian2, which produces Grotrian-style diagrams useful for phosphorescence studies and closer in style to the classic Grotrian and Moore representations.

• Added PyNeb.pdf to the documentation directory.

  • This file is an introductory presentation on PyNeb given during a workshop for the Indian Astronomers Around the World: https://indianastronomers.github.io/

• Updated several README files.

Best regards,

The PyNeb team
