• Omit Python checks if Python bindings are disabled
• Enhance OpenMP configuration on Darwin
• Export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET only for --enable-universalsdk
• Improve Python bindings configuration
• Add TEST_ENV_DIR to load library path

GammaLib-00-06-02 was just released. This is a bug fix release.

The new release includes the bug fixes:

• clang++ compiler precedence is only taken for Mac OS X >= 10.7
• Omit Python checks if Python bindings are disabled

GammaLib 00-06-01 was released.

This is a bug fix release. The release includes the following bug fixes:

• Do not require gammalib/__init__.py file to be present
• clang++ compiler takes precedence over g++ compiler

ctools-00-05-00 was just released.

The release includes the following changes:

• Add observation definition XML files support to ctobssim
• Improve logging information for ctlike
• Add OpenPM support

ctools-00-05-00 requires GammaLib-00-06-00.

GammaLib-00-06-00 was just released.

The release includes the following changes:

• Add support for Fermi/LAT Pass 7 data
• Add GModelSpatialMap model
• Add sky direction access operator to GSkymap class
• Add support for diffuse source models to CTA response
• Add OpenMP support and parallelize likelihood optimizer
• Add unit test support (introduce test module)
• Correct bugs in GSparseMatrix
• Enhance code quality

The CTA instrument dependent interface has been extended to support now also diffuse source models. CTA event data can be simulated using sky maps in FITS format, and event data can be fitted either in binned or unbinned mode using sky maps in FITS format. Some preliminary testing has been done to assure that the new methods behave as expected, but a deep pull test is still missing.

Thanks to our IRAP internal Informatics Service (SI), our collaborative Redmine platform went online today. This platform will support the organization of the GammaLib community development, and will help us to run the project at IRAP. It will provide Trackers for Bugs, Features, and Change Requests, give access to the source code, and collect documentation and information on how to use GammaLib.
