To achieve this goal, we have designed a survey to collect your input and insights. (If you are receiving this email, you are part of our community!) Please take around 10 minutes to complete the Astropy Community Engagement Survey . This survey is designed to better understand how our community members would like to be engaged. The data will help us make more informed decisions and support the work that Beryl Kanali, our new Community Manager, is doing. Your responses are confidential and will be used solely for the purpose of improving the Astropy Project and the community. Your voice is essential. Survey Deadline: Wednesday, November 15th We sincerely appreciate your support in making the Astropy Project an even more engaging and supportive community for all. Thanks!

If you are interested in trying it out, you can install this release candidate by doing: pip install astropy --pre or pip install astropy==6.0.0rc1 You can find the documentation corresponding to this release at: https://docs.astropy.org/en/v6.0.x/ including the full list of changes for this release: https://docs.astropy.org/en/v6.0.x/changelog.html as well as a 'What's new in v6.0?' page: https://docs.astropy.org/en/v6.0.x/whatsnew/6.0.html We would appreciate if you could try out this RC and report back any success or failure via the following wiki page: https://github.com/astropy/astropy/wiki/v6.0-RC-Testing For example, you can try running the test suite as mentioned on the wiki page. In addition, if you maintain any packages that use astropy, please check that your package(s) works well with this RC and let us know if there are any issues or whether everything works fine. There is a section to list packages that work/don't work at the bottom of the wiki page. Please also open an issue in the astropy core package issue tracker for any issues you encounter (and open separate issues for each problem you run into). If you use conda, be sure to either remove the existing conda astropy package or make a new environment before installing the RC. Note that there are no conda packages for the RC. Thanks! Simon (release manager for v6.0) From simon at sconseil.fr Mon Nov 27 16:14:42 2023 From: simon at sconseil.fr (Simon Conseil) Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:14:42 +0100 Subject: [AstroPy] ANN: astropy 6.0.0 released Message-ID: Dear colleagues, We are very happy to announce the v6.0.0 release of astropy, a core Python package for Astronomy: https://www.astropy.org The astropy core package is a community-driven Python package intended to contain much of the core functionality and common tools needed for astronomy and astrophysics. It is part of the Astropy Project, which aims to foster an ecosystem of interoperable astronomy packages for Python. New and improved major functionality in this release includes: - Define Geodetic and Bodycentric Representations via their geometric parameters - Body-fixed planetary reference frames and their WCS description - Support for Numpy broadcasting over frame data and attributes - Updates to cosmology - Updates to how IERS data are handled - Masked Time values now use Masked arrays internally - Reading and writing VO model annotations - TimeDelta string format ?quantity_str? - VOTable now supports PARQUET serialization - Faster FITS file decompression - New GeneralSersic2D model In addition, hundreds of smaller improvements and fixes have been made. An overview of the changes is provided at: https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/6.0.html Instructions for installing astropy are provided on our website, and extensive documentation can be found at: https://docs.astropy.org If you usually use pip/vanilla Python, you can do: pip install astropy --upgrade If you make use of the Anaconda Python Distribution, soon you will be able update to Astropy v6.0 with: conda update astropy Or if you cannot wait for Anaconda to update their default version, you can use the conda-forge channel: conda update -c conda-forge astropy Please report any issues, or request new features via our GitHub repository: https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues Over 400 people have contributed code to the core astropy package so far, and you can find out more about the team here: https://www.astropy.org/team.html If you use astropy directly for your work, or as a dependency to another package, please remember to acknowledge it by citing the appropriate Astropy paper. For the most up-to-date suggestions, see the acknowledgement page, but as of this release the recommendation is: This research made use of Astropy, a community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration, 2018). We hope that you enjoy using astropy as much as we enjoyed developing it!
