CASA 4.1 Release

Ready to Close

• CAS-5057: imregrid "get"/template mode broken in r23729
• CAS-5109: image.done fails because a file is still open in the process.
• CAS-5097: msmd.spwsforintent gives runtime error if intent is not found.
• CAS-5068: If corrected column requested but not present plotms becomes unusable.
• CAS-4898: Testing the new vi/vb framework with virtual model columns
• CAS-1893: Cal Tables in PlotMS
• CAS-1880: Multipanel plotting
• CAS-5047: taql queries have the possibility of making msmd run very slow, so reimplement such queries as iterator loops.
• CAS-4705: Implement "feather" in simalma. (For 4.1 Cycle)

Spot Check Required on Prerelease

• CAS-5168: msmd.namesforfields() behavior changed between 4.1.0RC2 and RC3
• CAS-5160: after running SETJY the model is flat in the first 10 channels of each spectral window
• CAS-5167: imsmooth imsmooth targetres no longer works as it should
• CAS-5181: delmod returns error message "No match found for false"
• CAS-5182: cannot change from Galactic to J2000 for GBT pipeline image
• CAS-5060: The use of cvel is making uvcontsub (actually its clean) run incorrectly
• SimAlma

CASA 4.2

Open Blockers

New Approved for Testing Targets

Ready for Retesting

Items Currently Being Tested

Upcoming Test Items

N.B. 'ARTT' in the below refers to the 4.2 casapy-test package.

• CAS-5142: issues with the spectral profile tool (for inclusion in 4.2 release). Currently 'ARTT'. Needs tester assignment (Jen?). Additional note: not explicitly listed in 4.2 spreadsheet yet.
• CAS-5132: create image crop method. . Currently 'ARTT'. Needs tester assignment (Jen?). Additional note: not explicitly listed in 4.2 spreadsheet yet.
• CAS-5123: Support for On the Fly Mosaics. Currently RTT.
• CAS-5117: Association of Syspower Cal entries with scan / field in table or during apply. Currently RTT. Need instructions.
• CAS-5111: Implement autoboxing capability. Currently ARTT. Needs a tester assigning.
• CAS-5089: add extension of flags in modes tfcrop and rflag in flagdata. Currently RTT. Needs tester assignment.
• CAS-5084: Testing multi-term support in pclean. Should already be ARTT for 4.2 (as it's already experimental in 4.1). Needs testers assigning.
• CAS-5077: Output should list "Ch0" rather than "Ch1". Currently ARTT. To be tested by Miriam. Additional note: not explicitly listed in 4.2 spreadsheet yet.
• CAS-5061: cstool() should be a valid constructor for coordinate system tools. Currently ARTT. To be tested by Mark. Additional note: not explicitly listed in 4.2 spreadsheet yet.
• CAS-5043: immoments gives unhelpful error for linear coordinate. Currently ARTT. To be tested by Remy. Additional note: not explicitly listed in 4.2 spreadsheet yet.
• CAS-4754: Create a new framework with a new task and tool to replace applycal concat, cvel, partition, hanningsmooth and split. Currently (partially) ARTT. Needs user tester(s) assigning.
• CAS-5014: Make a wrapper around the partition task to use the mstransform framework. Should already be ARTT for 4.2 (as it's already also in the current release branch). Needs a tester assigning.
• CAS-4848: Add capability in MSTransform framework to separate SPWs. Currently RTT. Needs instructions.
• CAS-4846: Add capability in MSTransform framework to apply Hanning Smoothing. Currently RTT. Needs instructions.
• CAS-4845: Add capability in MSTransform framework to change the reference frame. Currently RTT. Needs instructions.
• CAS-4841: Circular Gaussian kernel produces arbitrary output position angle. Currently ARTT. To be tested by Miriam. Additional note: not explicitly listed in 4.2 spreadsheet yet.
• CAS-4740: imregrid: checkerboard artifact when regridding large GBT pixels to small EVLA pixels. Currently ARTT. To be tested by Juergen. Additional note: not explicitly listed in 4.2 spreadsheet yet.
• CAS-4645: Universal support for outlier fields. Currently RTT.
• CAS-4348: interactive imfit estimate generation. Actually committed to 4.1 in February. Currently ARTT. Needs testers assigning.
• CAS-3885: Post-deconvolution wide-band PB-correction for 'ft' and 'mosaicft'. Currently ARTT. Needs testers assigning.
• CAS-2252: calculate the rotation measure. Currently ARTT. Needs testers assigning.

• CAS-5006: imregrid: change default setting of asvelocity from False to True - Currently ARTT. Needs a tester assigning (Adam?).
• CAS-4082: Viewer to allow loading of a partial image (OTF Subcube) - Currently RTT.
• CAS-5049: Viewer
  • CAS-5101: Issues with Channels/Images with multiple images loaded - Subtask of CAS-5049. Adam: Currently set to "Ready To Test" in JIRA, but check ticket for readiness.
  • CAS-5018: Minor issues with the overlay and line fitting windows (documentation and right click) - Subtask of CAS-5049. Currently ARTT. Adam.
  • CAS-5042: 2D Fitting In Viewer - Subtask of CAS-5049.

Developer Addressing Test Results

Input Required

* CAS-2852: Tasks that produces a histogram of values in a region of an image and fits a gaussian to the histogram - Currently 'Awaiting Input'. This one's still awaiting input from Jeff Kern. <- Dev proposes to close?

Other issues

To be added to during the meeting.
