Release Notes ∞

v0.4.8 - September 4, 2023

  • ENHANCEMENT: added a ‘significant’ filter option to filter on significant = True or False

  • FIXED: bug in burst filtering

v0.4.7 - August 8, 2023

  • FIXED: fixing parsing issue for initial burst alerts containing image links as property and classification parameters

v0.4.6 - June 8, 2023

  • REFACTOR: making plots consistent across platforms by including a MPL style file

  • FIXED: area of contours now included in plots if generated from a plugin

v0.4.5 - June 6, 2023

  • FEATURE: added ability to plot square footprints on to the aitoff skymaps

  • ENHANCEMENT: significance explicitly added to RHS sidebar of maps

  • REFACTOR: colours of map contours adjusted to pastel colours

  • REFACTOR: transparency of sun, moon, galactic plane adjusted for greater clarity

  • FIXED: contours often getting tangled at the poles of the aitoff maps and rendering incorrectly. Solved by ‘chunking’ the filled contours with matplotlib

v0.4.4 - June 1, 2023

  • REFACTOR: get_moon has being depreciated in astropy, moving to get_body(“moon”)

  • FIXED: bilby now correctly reported as localisation on RHS of aitoff skymaps

  • FIXED: fix in prob calculations in flattened maps

  • FIXED: allowing symlinks in plugin folder

v0.4.2 - May 28, 2023

  • ENHANCEMENT: added a burst filtering parameter. If set to True, burst event alerts will pass the filter, otherwise they filtered out (default).

  • REFACTOR: maps with CREATOR: ligo-skymap-from-samples now named on file as bilby.multiorder.fits.

  • REFACTOR: try, except added to listen parser. If an alert breaks the parser an ugly error message is reported, but the listener stays alive to listen to subsequent alerts.

  • FIXED: burst events causing headaches for filtering and map conversion. The first ‘real’ burst event provided the necessary alert packet and map to create a realistic unit test for the entire codebase. The code is now much more robust to busrt event alerts.

v0.4.1 - May 25, 2023

  • FIXED: a bug in filtering routine that caused alerts to pass the filtering algorithm if an unknown parameter in the filtering settings was found. It now fails by default instead of passing.

0.4.0 - May 24, 2023

  • FEATURE: gocart can now run in daemon mode. Use the commands gocart listen|quit|restart|status

  • ENHANCEMENT: added an event_dir_exist parameter to the filtering criteria. If a previous event alert has passed the filtering criteria, it is now possible to allow all subsequent alerts will pass

  • ENHANCEMENT: redshift range added to the right side of aitoff plots

  • REFACTOR: removed ligo.skymap dependency as this is a huge package and was causing upgrades of gocart to take 20-40 mins. Required new code to convert multi-order skymaps to a single-order (I was previously relying on a function in ligo.skymap to do this)

v0.3.0 - May 18, 2023

  • FEATURE: user can now add their own plugin scripts to run every time an alert is parsed

  • ENHANCEMENT: added a count of alerts read when first connected to kafka (gives users peace of mind that goacrt is working)

  • FIXED: area calculations fixed (I was still sort by prob but should have been sorting by probdensity for mulit-order maps)

  • FIXED: can still read an event ID even if not found in the sky-map header (tried to find the event ID from the map directory path)

v0.2.1 - April 26, 2023

  • FIXED: listen command was tripping up on mock-events

v0.2.0 - April 26, 2023

  • FEATURE: filtering of alerts is now possible via options in the settings file (see docs)

  • ENHANCEMENT: option added to write the original json alert to file

  • ENHANCEMENT: gocart should be robust enough to handle burst events (tested against a hand crafted burst alert packet as none exist in the LVK Public Alert Guide yet).

v0.1.10 - April 21, 2023

  • REFACTOR: splitting mockevents from superevents

v0.1.9 - April 19, 2023

  • REFACTOR: sun and moon footprints replace terminator

v0.1.8 - April 6, 2023

  • FIXED: echo command now parses message to the end of the partition queue

  • FIXED: listen command remembers where it left off

  • FIXED: sun & moon coordinates … they were not geocentric!

v0.1.7 - April 4, 2023

  • FIXED: unit test fix

v0.1.6 - April 4, 2023

  • ENHANCEMENT: added localisation type to aitoff maps

  • FIXED: first time listen command no longer starteds from time zero but listens from first connection

  • FIXED: doc builds

v0.1.5 - April 4, 2023

  • FEATURE: listen command added

  • FEATURE: echo command added

  • FEATURE: maps converted to ascii format

  • FEATURE: maps rendered as aitoff plots

  • FEATURE: meta.yaml file written with alert, FITS header and extra useful content

v0.1.4 - March 16, 2023

  • fixing docsting test
