The following changes have been made in this release.
- A bug in the astrometry reading software has been fixed. This led to
the application of CDELT1 and CD1_1 scales to the
wavelength range of some spectra (notable those produced by IRAF), which
meant that the range was underestimated by a scale CDELT1.
- You can now specify the spectrum type on the command-line using the
--type option. Valid values are: fits, hds,
text, hdx, table and line ids.
- You can now open a spectrum using a URL, so spectra stored on remote
servers can be downloaded and displayed.
- The handling of 2D and 3D input data has been enhanced. Previously
such data was just "vectorized" (that is laid out line-by-line and
displayed as a single spectrum ), now such data is collapsed down onto
the dispersion axis (if one can be determined). For 3D data each image
plane is collapsed in a similar fashion. You can also choose to extract
each line as a spectrum.
