[AstroPy] glue v0.14 released

[Thomas Robitaille]

Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce the release of *glue v0.14*!

For anyone not familiar with this package, *glue* is a Python library and
application for multidimensional and linked data exploration, which you can
find out about at http://glueviz.org


*Changes in this release*
An overview of the main changes in this release is available here:

  http://docs.glueviz.org/en/stable/whatsnew/whatsnew.html

The most significant changes are as follows:

   - The current active subset is now clearly shown in the toolbar at the
   top of the application window
   - Session files are now saved with relative paths to data files by
   default
   - Performance has been significantly improved in a number of places, and
   in particular the profile and histogram viewers will now no longer hang the
   application if calculating profiles or histograms for large datasets (they
   will do this in the background)
   - We now provide documentation about available plugins
   <http://docs.glueviz.org/en/stable/customizing_guide/available_plugins.html>
to
   glue as well as information about developing your own plugin packages
   <http://docs.glueviz.org/en/stable/customizing_guide/writing_plugin.html>
   .
   - The data layer of glue has been re-thought to make it possible to create
   data objects
   <http://docs.glueviz.org/en/stable/developer_guide/data.html> that are
   based on remote or non-cartesian data

You can read about these changes in more detail at the link above. In
addition, this release includes many bug fixes and improvements in
usability, and we have also done a lot of internal work to facilitate the
development of interfaces not based on Qt.


*Installing/updating glue*
As usual, we recommend installing glue using the Anaconda Python
Distribution. To get the latest version of glue (v0.14), you will need to
make sure you use the glueviz conda channel. If you are using the conda
command, this means that you need to do:

  conda install -c glueviz glueviz=0.14

If you want to use the Anaconda launcher or navigator to install glue
without using the command-line, take a look at the instructions on our
website <http://docs.glueviz.org/en/stable/installation/installation.html>
to find out how to get the latest version. We also provide instructions for
other installation methods, including pip.

Please let us know if you run into any issues installing or using glue -
you can either let us know by email (by replying to this email off-list),
by opening a GitHub issue <https://github.com/glue-viz/glue/issues/new>, or
you can join the glue slack channel
<http://docs.glueviz.org/en/stable/help.html> and chat with us there.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!

- Thomas Robitaille, on behalf of the glue team
