v2.8.3 (2020-05-20):
- Changed the order of the Raman contamination correction and the
  auto-calibration. This addresses residuals visible in the relevant
  wavelength range due to the non-uniformity of the Raman signal across the
  field.
- Added SPECSYS keyword to data cube headers indicating the spectral reference
  frame of the cube.
- ESO IDP format updates:
  . BUNIT keyword was removed from the data cube primary header.

- Reflex workflow updates:
  . Updated the contributed ZAP workflow to ZAP 2.1.dev and setup to work 
    with python2 or python3.
  . Gracefully handle missing, required recipe output in the interactive
    actor. Updated list of required file types in the error message and
    beautified the message display.

    format when the data cubes are created by muse_scipost and
    muse_exp_combine.
  . Show URL to reflex tutorials on the workflow canvas.
  . Added a check for Python modules required by the workflow to
    the workflow initialization.

- Fixed computation of the extraction radius of the circular aperture flux
  extraction method for intermediately bad seeing conditions.

v2.8 (2019-09-16):
- Multi-step flux extraction for standard stars:
  . for Moffat fits, the first step fits parameters in all planes
  . the 2nd step fits low-order polynomials to all parameters (except flux)
  . the 3rd step runs constrained Moffat fits to extract the flux
  . this is now the default flux extraction mechanism for WFM
- For NFM, the default flux extraction uses the circular aperture.
- Updated Raman line list, based on better physical understanding.
- Improvements to the astrometric calibration
  . kd-tree matching detected sources to astrometric catalog
  . works with WFM and NFM astrometric fields

v0.14.0 (2014-03-14), post-Comm1 release:
- The code was adapted to handle on-sky data correctly, reducting INM data is
  not supported any more.
- Adapted default parameters to what's usable for the real data, hence the
  basic processing should work optimally without any parameters (except --nifu).
- The User Manual was enhanced a lot.
- Calibration files are not shipped in the mockdata directory any more, use
  the ones from the muse-calib tarball.
- A bug regarding the resampling of southern objects has been fixed.
- Some bugs in the astrometric calibration were fixed.
- Pixel tables in RA and DEC now only contain relative spatial coordinates,
  to get the real position add CRVAL1/2.

  far.
- Fix computation of slopes in muse_bias (QC parameters).
- Do not hang machines any more when running muse_wavecal with --lsf.
- Please ignore all warning outputs about EQUINOX!

  backend, and in-code documentation.
- DRL Design and User Manual were updated from current pipeline, some
  additional changes were done to accomodate RIXes we received from ESO
  during the PAE process.

v0.10.0 (2013-08-13), the PAE release:
- All local patches landed to make muse_geometry work (if you know the
  right environment variables to set, see README).
- Simple handling of incoming bad pixels in the tracing process.
- esorex --man-page muse_recipe_name will now output all in/output data
  the recipe handles, together with nice descriptions.
- Remove some ancient fall backs (e.g. do not use DET.CHIP.INDEX any
  more to find the IFU number).
- A problem with FITS headers of the SKY_LINES and SKY_CONTINUUM
  products was fixed.
- Several minor changes to build system, backend, in-code documentation,
  and output messages.
- DRL Design was updated to reflect implementation, especially regarding
  sky subtraction and geometrical calibration
- The User Manual now includes a section for the muse_geometry recipe.

Changes since v0.08.00 (2013-07-09), the PAE pre-release:
- sky subtraction:
  . the MASTER_SKY file is gone, instead SKY_LINES and SKY_CONTINUUM can
    be input and are produced separately
  . sky subtraction now uses STD_RESPONSE (and STD_TELLURIC if given)
    for flux calibration instead of its own calibration
  . muse_scipost now needs a SKY_LINES file as input, unless
    --skymethod is changed to "none".
  . muse_scipost can now create the sky model, too; so muse_create_sky
    only needs to be called for a sky exposure that is separate from the
    science target field
- muse_geometry was implemented and works with AIT data, with varying
  success; some special settings are needed to adjust to the data, see
  README
- a new recipe, muse_ampl, was added to process special exposures taken
  with pico amplifier measurements in the focal plane, to estimate the
  absolute throughput of MUSE
- do not crash when exposures with all shutters closed are input to
  muse_wavecal (MPDAF ticket #104)
- some improvements to pixel grid creation (during final resampling),
  but this is still very slow for > 3 exposures
- automated testing was improved and now covers ~73% of the code (~80%
  of all backend library functions); some old bugs were found and fixed

v0.06.00 (2013-03-27):
- basic processing can now be internally parallelized using --nifu=-1
- all basic processing recipes have new options to deal with overscans,
  replacing the older environment variables
- improved sky modeling
- new sky line lists to better match INM data are included
- more robust LSF fitting
- a FITS file with WCS headers (tag OUTPUT_WCS) can be used to force the
  output cube into a particular format (with restrictions, see DRL
  Design)
- CPL v6.3 is now needed to compile the pipeline
- rename output FITS headers from "ESO PRO MUSE" to "ESO DRS MUSE"; this
  basically breaks backward compatibility for all intermediate and final
  products
- change GEOMETRY_TABLE columns from float to double (breaks backward
  compatibility)
- updated python-cpl to v0.5
- fix background display in trace_plot_samples tool
- support color cuts in the wave_plot_residuals tool
- new flux integration method using circular aperture in muse_standard
  recipe
- the internal telluric regions in muse_standard can now be overridden
  using an extra input file
- smoothing and error estimates in muse_standard were improved
- robustify pipeline against broken input data (but there are so many
  ways to produce broken data, e.g. with Python and/or MPDAF, that we
  can never guard against all defects)
- new combination parameters for muse_scibasic (only really for lab
  data)
- remove QC.FLAT.MASTER.THRUPUT from muse_flat recipe, this needs an
  extra template and recipe to work
- added QC parameters to muse_astrometry

v0.05.03 (2013-02-18):
- Fix tests to work with CPL 6.0 and 6.2. (CPL 6.1 was not tested but
  should work, anything newer than 6.2 will not be supported for
  v0.05.xx.)

v0.05.02 (2013-02-14):
- Fix the muse_astromtry recipe to work with CPL 6.2.
- The image_fwhm tool can now read inputs from FITS extensions and
  allows to set the sigma level for "object" detection.
- In the muse_wavecal recipe, do not save ARC_RED_LAMP for single-lamp
  input.
- Fix output of muse_combine_pixtables.
- The manual now contains the beginnings of a section on how to reduce
  using the Python interface.

v0.05.01 (2012-10-11):
- The pipeline can now handle data with missing INS LAMP headers (which
  I still believe to be actually a bug in the VLT software).
- Fix the bug when not using --lampwise in the muse_wavecal recipe.
- An update of the included python interface to the pipeline recipes.
- Several updates to the description files (raw.xml and the new
  calib.xml).

v0.05.00 (2012-09-14)
- The possible values of the format parameter (of e.g. muse_scipost)
  were changed (to be shorter and not contain spaces).
- Output cubes (and collapsed images) are now named without IFU number,
  i.e. now are DATACUBE_FINAL.fits and IMAGE_FOV_00XX.fits.
- Errors happening during the execution of the recipe are now
  always printed at the end.
- The line spread function can and should now be calculated from arc
  exposures (muse_wavecal).
- Sky subtraction should now work better with INM data, especially using
  the new mockdata/*inm.fits files (sky line list and throughput curve).
- Reduction of standard star data and astrometric fields is now fully
  automated and was tested with the latest INM data.
- Wavelength calibration has new parameters and can handle exposures of
  different lamps in a more reliable way.

- A fix in the script headers_to_new_ngc.py to allow it to work reliably
  with PyFITS v3.0.x.
- Limited support for 1x4 binned exposures (for AIT).
- Header keyword updates to muse_qi_mask recipe (also for AIT).
- Code, text, and images to produce the manual are now included, the
  content of the manual has not changed.

v0.04.01 (2012-03-22):
- CPL 6.0 is required. (The main reason for this release is to produce a
  MUSE pipeline that works with an official CPL release.)
- Status headers were added to the pixel table, following on an action
  item given to me in January at the Science Software kickoff.
- Empricial DAR correction does not needlessly add global shifts any
  more.
- The technical muse_qi_mask recipe now produces extra headers following
  AIT requirements.
- Note that while the user manual is now available, it is in a very
  early stage and no efforts were taken to polish its style.

v0.04.00 (2012-03-02):
- New recipe muse_skyflat.
  (Can be used to process the Twilight.fits raw file from the latest INM
  datasets.)
- Improvements to sky subtraction.

- too many changes to list them
- the code can now handle the 10-exposure Fusion dataset (of Dec. 2010) as
  well as the Pre-Dry Run 001 dataset (with the exception of sky subtraction).
- all IFU lab data can be processed without problems

v0.02.02 (2011-02-23):

v0.02.01 (2011-02-11):
- tracing works in the presence of bad columns
- use 4th order for tracing polynomial by default
- improvements to dark pixel search on master flats
- react to environment variables to handle and use overscans:
  . MUSE_OVERSCAN_SIGMA_LIMIT: set this to a high value (> 5) to
    override the discrepancy test of the overscan levels that cause the
    pipeline to stop in case of varying bias levels
  . MUSE_OVERSCAN_OFFSET_LEVEL: set this to 1 to use the overscan to
    offset the bias level
- instrumental R in muse_wavecal now gives correct numbers
- new QC parameters QC.WAVECAL.SLICEi.DWLEN.{BOTTOM,TOP}
- fix bug running with CPL 5.0.1

v0.02.00 (2013-08-06):
- Functional sky subtraction (muse_create_sky recipe).
- Optimized tracing for better reconstructed images.
- Use a GEOMETRY_TABLE when constructing the pixel table. (Use
  mockdata/geometry_table.fits in the source tarball.)

  were added as well as a Python interface. These are unsupported.
- The muse_focus recipe and a Python tool that are used for AIT are now
  included. (They are not used in the scientific part of the pipeline.)
- Removed all mock data and the cosmic ray library from the source tree
  as we now use INM and lab data for testing.

v0.01.01 (2010-04-26):
- Removal of the optimize test program that gave problems on some
  machines.
- Add possibility to carry out flux calibration (with a pre-existing
  or hand-crafted STD_RESPONSE) file.

v0.01 (2010-03-17):
- Much improved datacube creation, including bad pixels and variance
  extensions.
- Addition of a rudimentary muse_scipost recipe to easily create a final
  datacube.
- Creation of reconstructed images using some standard filter functions.
- Fix slice positions within the field of view.
- Improved arc line detection and matching, and hence better wavelength
  calibration, especially when processing HgCd+Ne+Xe exposures together.
- Bad column search in bias files and better bad pixel search in darks.
- Check for saturation.
- musept_dump program to display pixel tables.
