| - | ==== Next major release: DiFX 2.3 ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Bug fixes === | ||
| - | |||
| - | * mpifxcorr: Datasteam buffer send size now calculated correctly for complex sampled data | ||
| - | * mpifxcorr: Avoid very rare bug where combination of geometric delay and data commencing mid-subint meant one invalid FFT might be computed | ||
| - | * mpifxcorr: multicast weights are now computed correctly for mixed-sideband correlation | ||
| - | * mpifxcorr: fixed bug where some autocorrelations were not saved in a mixed-sideband correlation | ||
| - | * mpifxcorr: fixed bug where send size could be computed incorrectly by 1-2 bytes for Mark4/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | === New features === | ||
| - | |||
| - | * mpifxcorr: LO offsets are now corrected in the time domain when fringe rotation is also done in the time domain (the usual mode), allowing considerably larger LO offsets without decorrelation | ||
| - | * mpifxcorr: Working polarization dependent delay and phase offsets | ||
| - | * mpifxcorr: Experimental linear2circular conversion | ||
| - | * mpifxcorr: Complex Double sideband (RDBE/ | ||
| - | * mpifxcorr: new file/mk5 based vdif/mark5b datastream (faster and more robust) | ||
| - | * utilities: some new command line tools for mk5b and vdof files (vsum, mk5bsum, vmux, mk5bfix) | ||
| - | * all packages: mk5 support for mark5a/b with sdk9 | ||
| - | * new options for passing calibration (Walter B: memo forthcoming) | ||
