Release Issues:

• Open issues for release:
  • ObsId in CalTables and selection now in active. George is working on using this in apply.
  • Sandra committed today the flag side of things.
• Bug Fixes:
  • Major issues for which there is no workaround:
    • CAS-4715 - Image masked / zeroed when regridding from GALACTIC to J2000 (Dave)
    • (No Fix) CAS-2498 - time averaging in plotms doesn't do the right thing when plotting against elevation (Patrick)
    • (No Fix) CAS-695 - Complete CORR dependent flags (would be really nice to get this one finally fixed)
    • CAS-4445 - bandwidth option of frequency smoothing in solint does not appear to work (George)
    • CAS-4903 - clean fails on LWA data if a mask is provided
    • TBD - Issue with model column and uvcont sub
  • Annoyances that would be nice to fix, but for which there is a workaround:
    • CAS-4410 - setjy fails if file path contains a space (this one has come up a lot) (Tak)
