GBTIDL Release Notes Version 2.1

Introduction

We are pleased to announce the release of GBTIDL, version 2.1. GBTIDL is an interactive package for reduction and analysis of spectral line data taken with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. The package consists of a set of straightforward yet flexible calibration, averaging, and analysis procedures (the "GUIDE layer") modeled after the UniPOPS and CLASS data reduction philosophies, a customized plotter with many built-in visualization features, and Data I/O and toolbox functionality that can be used for more advanced tasks. The entire package is written in IDL.

GBTIDL version 2.1 contains numerous new features and bug fixes, as described in these release notes.

Users may wish to also read the release notes of the latest version of sdfits which includes changes of interest to GBTIDL users (some of which are also described here).

A patch to this version has been released. Users should read the patch release notes for details of the patch and instructions on downloading and installing that patch.
