================ EsoRex ChangeLog ================ The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package. The changes are grouped by major-version number, with the most recent first. Within each grouping, the changes are listed sequentially. --------------- EsoRex v3.9.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.8.3. v3.9.0 -- 11-January-2011 Version of Esorex ready for CPL 5.3.0, no more direct calls of functions from CFITSIO --------------- EsoRex v3.8.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.7.3. v3.8.3 -- 18-May-2010 Version of Esorex ready for CPL 5.2.0 with expanded option: create-config use $ esorex --help for details. v3.8.2 -- 21-April-2010 Version of Esorex ready for CPL 5.2.0 with new option: time v3.8.1 -- 18-Febr-2010 Version of Esorex ready for CPL 5.1.0 with new options: unload-plugin paf-config check-sof-exist use $ esorex --help for details. --------------- EsoRex v3.7.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.6.12. v3.7.3 -- 01-November-2009 Version of Esorex ready for CPL 5.1 v3.7.0 -- 01-February-2009 Take out dependency on libtool version 1.5.6 - should now work with any version of libtool. --------------- EsoRex v3.6.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.5.0. v3.6.12 -- 01-October-2008 Min, max values of parameter ranges are displayed correctly. The return status is set correctly with problems in the final copy step of products. v3.6.9 -- 17-July-2008 Environment variables can be used also inside SOFs, e.g. lines like $MYDATA/ISAAC.2006-06-19T13:50:54.801.fits SP_FLAT are now supported in an SOF file. v3.6.8 -- 14-Feb-2008 Invalid input files specified in a SOF are now ignored (only announced if message level set to debug), esorex does not stop anymore. So, it's now entirely the responsibility of the recipe to check for that. For this version of EsoRex, CPL 4.1.0 is required. v3.6.0 -- 23-May-2006 Move from cx data types to plain C types. A few (plain) string related utilities (e.g. cx_strdup) are still used. --------------- EsoRex v3.5.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.5.0. v3.5.0 -- 25-July-2005 Just a single addition: use the new function cpl_end() to terminate all CPL related activity in EsoRex main code. --------------- EsoRex v3.4.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.4.0. v3.4.0 -- 16-Jun-2005 This version has one small, but important change. Previously, when EsoRex moved a product, it would rename the suffix of the file to reflect the frame type. This would mean that images would be forced to ".fits", tables to ".tfits", etc.. This feature has been disabled, so that now the suffix, as supplied by the recipe, is preserved. --------------- EsoRex v3.3.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.3.0. v3.3.0 -- 09-Jun-2005 This version addresses outstanding bugs from the public release of version 3.2.1. Fixed problem with some options not supporting the environment-variable equivalent. Also modified the "--help" output to indicate what the name of the associated environment variable is. Fixed the problem with the "source environment variable" not being reported correctly, when the "--msg-leve=debug" option is used. Fixed error message reported when an output-script fails. Fixed the incorrect behaviour of reporting of multiple instances of a given recipe. Under "debug", additional information is given hinting at possible causes of the problem. Also removed a memory leak associated with the provision of an output-script. --------------- EsoRex v3.2.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.2.0. v3.2.0 -- 10-Mar-2005 Beta-release of Version 3.2. The major change is the addition of a new configuration parameter "mem-check". This replaces the need to run EsoRex at DEBUG level, in order to activate the memory status report at the end of EsoRex execution. Additionally, the parameter handling mechanism has been improved and there is now better error checking. Under DEBUG level, EsoRex will now report the source of a given parameter, either stating that it was a default or command line generated value, or by reporting the name of the configuration file from which the value was obtained. v3.2.1 -- 27-Mar-2005 Stable-release of Version 3.2. Only one minor correction made (misleading error message). --------------- EsoRex v3.1.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.1.0. v3.1.0 -- 04-Feb-2005 Beta-release of Version 3.1. The major change is an overhaul to the internals of the parameter and plugin handling, in order to match the changes in the 02-Feb-2005 build of the CPL. Functionally, there should be little change, but until exhaustive testing has been performed, this version cannot be labelled as stable. v3.1.1 -- 18-Feb-2005 No major changes. This release was made to coincide with internal beta- releases of QFITS and CPL. --------------- EsoRex v3.0.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 3.0.0. v3.0.0 -- 27-Jan-2005 Beta-release of Version 3. The major change is in the additional output of EsoRex in the event of multiple recipes with the same name. Additionally, EsoRex now makes a reasonable assumption about which of them to use, namely the one with the highest version number, and for cases where it it equal, then the first occurrence of the recipe in the 'recipe-dir' path. In addition to these changes, the code has been further streamlined, and even stricter error checking has been implemented for the recipe-handling functions. This version also is the first to "officially" use the new vresions CPL and QFITS. v3.0.1 -- 28-Jan-2005 Internal changes only. The cpl_error handling calls were modified to make the setting of error codes and error locations to be uniform. v3.0.2 -- 28-Jan-2005 Fixed two bugs. The first was the incorrect reporting of the range of parameters that take double precision numbers. The second was a memory leak that occured during the creation of a configuration file. v3.0.3 -- 31-Jan-2005 Fixed a remaining bug with the handling of double-precision parameter ranges. v3.0.4 -- 02-Feb-2005 Fixed a memory leak which occurred when an invalid command-line parameter was given to a recipe. --------------- EsoRex v2.0.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 2.0.0. v2.0.0 -- 01-Sep-2004 Beta-release of Version 2. This change removes the --output-overwrite option and replaces it with the --output-readonly option. The new option satisfies the requirements of Paranal, to generate read-only (umask = oct(444)) products for archiving purposes. Additionally, it changes the default behaviour to allow EsoRex to overwrite existing products by default (the typical case for users) when re-running a recipe. v2.0.1 -- 23-Sep-2004 Minor fix to the formatting of double precision numbers that appear in the "help" text or "configuration" files. In the case of integer values that are stored as a double, the output still appends a ".0", so that the user is not confused by the value that is written (that is, in some way misleading them that the value is an integer, when it is not). v2.0.2 -- 05-Oct-2004 This patch removes several memory leaks. EsoRex should now run though valgrind (http://valgrind.kde.org/) without any errors from the EsoRex code itself. v2.0.3 -- 01-Dec-2004 This patch fixes some problems with error messages not being clear. Message reporting has been standardised somewhat too. It also has improved accompanying text-file documentation. This version requires the "beta-release" of CPL version 2.0 and qfits version 5.0. v2.0.4 -- 10-Jan-2005 When "--msg-level" is set to "debug", EsoRex will report (via xmemory) any still-allocated pointers at the conclusion of operation. This may prove helpful in indicating problems with recipes during development. Also in this version, a small memory leak was fixed, and a missing header file was included to avoid compiler warnings on some systems. v2.0.5 -- 18-Jan-2005 This version replaces two of the deprecated functions from the conversion to CPL 2.0. The change is internal only. --------------- EsoRex v1.0.x --------------- The following summarises the major changes and bugfixes to the EsoRex package since the release of EsoRex 1.0.0. v1.0.0 -- 25-Jun-2004 Public release version of EsoRex. v1.0.1 -- 29-Jun-2004 Minor fix to correct the sequence order output of the man-page content generated for a recipe. v1.0.2 -- 09-Jul-2004 Bug fix to the handling of ranged input parameters, so that the minima and maxima themselves are not excluded. Also, some minor improvement to man-page output, to better describe available recipe options. v1.0.3 -- 20-Jul-2004 Changed EsoRex to use the CPL messsaging system for all error, warning and status messages. Normal output is still used for generated documentary output (for example, man-pages). v1.0.4 -- 21-Jul-2004 Fixed a bug in the handling of floating-point numbers. Now the minimum precision is used in order to maintain numerical integrity. Should the precision exceed the maximum that can be handled by EsoRex, then a warning will be printed. v1.0.5 -- 02-Aug-2004 Added handling of environment variables. This requires the WORDEXP package, but the program will continue to function, even in its absence. v1.0.6 -- 23-Aug-2004 Improved the handling of floating-point numbers. EsoRex now handles a greater range of precision without loss of accuracy, and warns the user if a conversion occurs where accuracy is lost. Also removed the hard- coded CPL messaging width (80); EsoRex now adopts the terminal width for output, and only defaults to 80 characters in the event that it can not be determined. Also, the error messages for failure of the options '--recipe-dir', '--log-dir' and '--log-file' have now been improved. v1.0.7 -- 25-Aug-204 Corrected a problem with the CPL messaging domain not being set back to EsoRex at the end of recipe initialisation, execution and destruction. Additionally, a minor problem with newline handling was fixed for the case when a single product is created. ================
