What’s new?#

For Gammapy v0.16 a FoVBackgroundMaker was implemented, which supports different methods of adapting the norm and tilt of a field of view background model to the data.

To provide a visual overview of the available models in Gammapy a model gallery was added. A general introduction on how to work with the different models is now available in a dedicated models tutorial. The spectral analysis of an extended source is demonstrated in the newly added extended source spectral analysis tutorial.

To further improve API consistency the EnergyDispersion class was renamed to EDispKernel and the SkyModels class was renamed to a more general Models class.

The coordsys attribute of WcsGeom and HpxGeom was renamed to frame and now supports arbitrary Astropy coordinate frames.

The Datasets and Models container objects now require unique names of the objects contained. By default unique identifiers are generated in the model and dataset objects. The Datasets, Models as well as Observations container classes, were extended to now support in place .append(), .extend() and .insert() operations.

For Gammapy v0.16 the API of the SensitivityEstimator and TSMapEstimator was adapted to take a MapDataset or MapDatasetOnOff as input. The ASmooth class was renamed to ASmoothMapEstimator and also adapted to work with MapDataset and MapDatasetOnOff.

Again this release contains several API breaking changes and removal of non-essential parts of Gammapy (see PR list below). These changes are required to finally arrive at a more consistent and stable API for Gammapy v1.0. Thanks for your understanding!
