v0.1.0

First semi-stable buggy release

Changed

• Closed #72, #99, #37.
• Changed the way the IMF was sampled, now it should be faster and more precise.
• Some speed improvements (moved things around mainly).
• Binary fraction is now a free parameter.

Known issues

• Serious bug: if the DA is set to run but the Best fit method isn't, the final plot can't be produced since the syn_cl_err function isn't used (fixed in next release).
• Forgotten print prints out mass values every time the E/I operator is applied (fixed in next release).
• If the number of points (n_left) in the radius finding function is smaller than 4, a very small radius is likely
  to be selected. Fixed in next release.

Caveats

• The total initial mass can be set as a free parameter but the likelihood function will select always synthetic clusters of high mass. Thus it is advised to leave this parameter fixed to 1000 solar masses.
• The binary fraction found is not stored in the output data file.
• Some density map plots for mass and binary fraction are missing.

v4.0.0-beta

Changed

• Closed #85, #70, #43, #86.
• Metallicity and age now take steps in the GA.
• Add checker function to make sure certain parameters are set correctly before running.
• Number of points in get_radius increased 20% --> 25% of the RDP (a2e9b8f)

v3.0.0-beta

Changed

• Closed: #89, #77, #80.
• The params_input.dat and semi_input.dat files are now located at the top level next to asteca.py.
• Cluster's photometric files are not longer required to be stored inside a sub-folder to be picked-up by the code.

v2.0.1-beta

Changed

• Correct version number.

v2.0.0-beta

Changed

• Closed issues: #15, #73, #53, #24, #75, #79, #81, #59, #83, #78, #69, #74.
• Changed name of package (OCAAT --> ASteCA).
• Added separate function to handle the spatial 2D histogram.
• Changes to get_center function (now hopefully simpler)
• Added UBVI support for V vs (U-V).
• Added 2MASS CMD support for J vs (J-H), H vs (J-H) and K vs (H-K).
• Improve field star regions integrated magnitudes curve averaging.
• Simplify process of adding a new CMD.
• Added details on how the integrated magnitude calculation is done in the manual.
• Lots of minor edits/corrections.
