webbpsf - Release 0.7.0

Detailed release notes are available at https://webbpsf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/relnotes.html#whatsnew

Briefly, this release includes:

• WFE models for all the JWST instruments, derived from ISIM CV3 measurements at multiple field points as reported in Aronstein et al. (2016) and JWST-RPT-032131
• Various other instrument properties updated based on CV3 and OTIS test measurements, such as focal plane rotations and pupil shears. Information based on JWST-RPT-028027 and JWST-RPT-037134.
  
• New capability for modeling how focal plane distortions affect PSFs, e.g. by making the projected V2 and V3 axes no longer precisely orthogonal. This is a subtle effect but nonzero. The distortion information is taken from the official SIAF information, specifically in PRDOPSSOC-H-015, and makes use of the new pysiaf package.
  
• For MIRI in particular, added a model for how PSFs are blurred by photon scattering within the imager detector substrate itself. See MIRI document MIRI-TN-00076-ATC for details on the relevant physics and detector calibration.
• Added new capabilities for interactively modeling mirror moves of the JWST primary segments and secondary mirror.
• All instrument relative spectral response files have been updated to tables derived from the official JWST reference data as used in the Pandeia ETC release 1.2.2.
• The WFIRST WFI optical model has been updated to use optical data from the Cycle 7 design revision for WFI, and the R062 filter was added.
• Various more minor issue fixes, functionality improvements, and API updates for better compliance with the Python PEP8 style guide. See the release notes for full details.

webbpsf - Release 0.5.1

Bug fix release to solve some issues that manifested for AstroConda users. - Fixed a few missed version number->0.5.0 edits in install docs - Updated install instructions for Ureka->Astroconda change - Clarified release instructions for data packages - Fixed ConfigParser import in setup.py - Documented PSF normalization options better. (#112) - Updated Travis-CI config, consistent with poppy#187 - Made a display tweak for the primary V2V3 annotation - Removed redundant calcPSF in favor of just using the superclass calc_psf (#132) - Updated measure_strehl to turn off SI WFE for perfect PSF calcs - Enforced Python 3.0+ compliance on code with __future__ imports - Used six.string_types for Python 3.x compliance - Add version specs to dependencies in setup.py - Made jwxml a dependency in setup.py

webbpsf - WebbPSF version 0.3.2

Bug-fix release to address an issue that rendered the GUI unusable. (See #55.) API usage was unaffected.

(PyPI ate version 0.3.1, if you were wondering.)
