What’s new?#

Gammapy v0.9 comes just two months after v0.8. This is following the Gammapy 1.0 roadmap, Gammapy will from now on have bi-monthly releases, as we work towards the Gammapy 1.0 release in fall 2019.

Gammapy v0.9 contains many fixes, and a few new features. Big new features like observation event and time filters, background model classes, as well as support for fitting joint datasets will come in spring 2019.

The FluxPointEstimator has been rewritten, and the option to compute spectral likelihood profiles has been added. The background and diffuse model interpolation in energy has been improved to be more accurate. The gammapy.utils.fitting backend is under heavy development, most of the functionality of MINUIT (covariance, confidence intervals, profiles, contours) can now be obtained from any Fit class (spectral or map analysis). Maps now support arithmetic operators, so that you can e.g. write residual = counts - model if counts and model are maps containing observed and model counts.

Gammapy v0.9 now requires Astropy 2.0 or later, and Scipy was changed from status of optional to required dependency, since currently it is required for most analysis tasks (e.g. using interpolation when evaluating instrument responses). Please also note that we have a plan to drop Python 2.7 support in Gammapy v0.11 in March 2019. If you have any questions or concerns about moving your scripts and notebooks to Python 3, or need Python 2 support with later Gammapy releases in 2019, please let us know!
