Documentation errata and updates

HIPE is being heavily used and heavily improved at the same time. For the documentation team it is not always easy to keep up with all the latest features and bugfixes.

This is why we have set up this page, where you can get documentation fixes and updates without having to wait for the next HIPE version. Remember that we always appreciate your feedback through the Helpdesk or via the feedback button in the HIPE Help System.

Current issues

• Upgrade to Jython 2.5: Starting from version 8.0, HIPE includes a new version of Jython. You may have to adapt your scripts for them to work with the new version. See this page for the details.
• URM categories: Some entries in the three instruments User's Reference Manuals have wrong or missing categories.
• URM examples: Some examples in the User's Reference Manuals may not work as expected. Please use the feedback icon in the HIPE Help System to let us know about broken examples.
• JIDE vs HIPE: The documentation shipped with HIPE may still mention JIDE in some places. JIDE was the data reduction application that came before HIPE and is no longer supported. All references to JIDE can be applied to HIPE.
