General
- Fixed all build problems for GCC and clang on various platforms
(up to OS-X 10.10)
- Fixed all valgrind issues found in test programs
- Made the statics in all of casacore thread-safe. Similar to
libstdc++ the user is responsible for thread-safety when using
casacore ojbects.
- Added casacore/ to the include path of all header files
- Changed namespace from casa to casacore (but still defined as
casa for time being)
- Split Tables, MeasurementSets and Lattices into smaller parts
- The 3 changes above give rise to backward incompatibilities. Scripts
in casacore/changescripts (notably updateall) can be used to fix
client code.
Tables
- Added GROUPBY/HAVING/aggregation function to TaQL
- Optimized TaQL's IN operator (linear time for integer sets)
- Added table tracing (class TableTrace)
- Fixed TiledStMan issue where BucketCache was not shrinked
- Added MultiFile option to combine table files in a single one
Components
- This module has been removed (too CASA specific)
Images
- Added support for beam per frequency channel and Stokes
- Added persistency for ImageExpr and ImageCocat objects
Python
- Moved converters from pyrap to casacore/Python
