See also the HIPE known issues and the Data products known issues pages for last-minute information on known problems.

Highlights

HIPE

• Common look and feel for the spectrum explorer and cube analysis toolbox
• Image analysis perspective
• Easing the data access via MyHSA
• Improvement of handling of ASCII tables
• Mechanism to notify users on removed names (tasks, functions...), why they were removed, and their replacement
• Smaller memory footprint for HIPE editor
• Speed-up of HIPE start-up
• Progress bar informs on progress of for-loops
• Human-made indexes added to the core manual (HIPE Owner's Guide, Scripting Guide, Data Analysis Guide)
• Possibility to leave comments at the bottom of any page in the HIPE Help System
• Support to OSX Lion
• Easy access to calibration data, including version and updates (TBS)
• Improvements of search capability of documentation system (TBS)
• Publication ready plots (TBS)

HIFI

• Scripts to permit fringe removal / current matching
• HIFI level 2.5 product to hold data of Spectral Surveys
• Browse products for spectral surveys in maps (TBS)

PACS

• Photometer: Addressing further specific cases in IPipe scripts
• Spectrometer
  • Broadband reliability
  • Improved spectral pixel flatfield broad ranges (SED)
  • Correction Flux loss due to pointing
• Convolution kernels for photometer and spectrometer maps aiding the interpretation of extended and point sources
• Reduction in memory consumption (TBS)

SPIRE

• common (both Photometer and Spectrometer)
  • improved processing speed using multi-threading
  • improved task for correction of "cooler burps"
• Photometer
  • Pipeline Processing
    • kernel-smoothed maps (aka "drizzling")
    • improved error maps (possibly as an option)
    • improved baseline correction using "destriper“
  • Interactive processing
    • source timeline fitter task
    • improvements to bolometer finder tool
    • selection of turnaround data in map creation
• Spectrometer
  • Pipeline Processing: smaller size for level 1 products
  • Improved calibration and data processing
    • updated point source calibration (improved Uranus model)
    • updated bright mode calibration (better PCAL module)
    • improved calibration for Low Resolution observations (hopefully improved calibration, but at minimum, updated advice)
    • more straightforward calling sequence for phase-correction task
    • corrected spectral averaging - more flexible usage
  • Interactive processing
    • drag and drop from SDS Explorer detector layout to variables tab
    • new and updated useful scripts for background subtraction and spectral noise

Images

Display

• Reworked the save methods on Display. You can now save to jpg, png, eps or pdf files. The methods to use are :
  • save(filename), saveAsEPS(filename), saveAsPNG(filename), saveAsJPG(filename) and saveAsPDF(filename) : These methods will save the full image, including annotations.
  • saveCurrentView(filename), saveCurrentViewAsEPS(filename), saveCurrentViewAsPNG(filename), saveCurrentViewAsJPG(filename) and saveCurrentViewAsPDF(filename) : These methods will save the current view of the image, including annotations and axes.
• The coordinate axes on the image panner are always visible now
• There is a preference for image display to turn of the echoing of commands to the command line. It is possible to turn all these commands off, or only the zoom commands.
