First release of version 2.0.

New features include:

  • applying Ionospheric RM corrections
  • grouping of subbands by actual frequency
  • speed and disk usage improvements by optimized usage of NDPPP
  • (optional) wide-band cleaning in Initial-Subtract
  • more diagnostic plots
  • documentation moved to GitHib wiki: https://github.com/lofar-astron/prefactor/wiki
  • automatic selection of calibrator skymodel
  • automatic generation of TGSS skymodel

Other changes:

  • the Pre-Facet-Cal pipeline is split into two files, one for the calibrator part and one for the target part
  • the scripts were sorted into two directories:
    • bin for those that are intended to be (also) directly called by the user
    • scripts for those that are intended to be only called by the pipeline

While we did some testing, there may still be bugs lurking in the code. Please open an issue if you happen to find one.

P.S. The required version of WSClean for Initial-Subtract-Deep is the not-yet-released version 2.0.
