| Release Version | Release Date | Major Changes |
|---|---|---|
| Montage v3.0 | 1/5/2007 | The emphasis has been on solidifying
Montage use in a distributed Grid environment to
allow the building of large-scale mosaics from
2MASS, SDSS, and DPOSS.
See detailed Change History for a thorough description of updates. New modules include: Core Modules: Utilities:
|
| Montage v2.2 | 7/20/2004 | Makefiles have been updated and the CFITSIO library modified (see docs/ExternalLibraries.txt for details) to allow the use of 64-bit addressing (files larger than 2 GByte) on LINUX platforms. |
| Montage v2.1 | 7/1/2004 | Changes have been made to several modules. The biggest change, however, is the addition of mTANHdr (and associated changed to mProjectPP) which allow the fast reprojection of non-tangent-plane projections if they can be approximated as distorted TAN images. |
| Montage v2.0.4 | 3/16/2004 |
-mAdd no longer allocates the entire output image up front, and so uses even less memory.
-level-only flag has been added to mBgModel. -New module mShrink added to make scaled versions of an image (e.g. image with pixel scale 5.5 times larger than the original) -New modules mRadHit and mRadHitExec added to try and remove "radiation hit" type artifacts from original unprojected images by comparing pixel values to local medians. -New modules mDagTbls and mConcatFit added to aid in GRID computing use of Montage. The first generates a set of tables (lists of images, overlap analysis) for use in setting up a batch processing run. The second combines the output of difference fitting (presumably in this context done via separate threads) into a single table for use by mBgModel. |
| Montage v2.0.3 | 2/4/2004 | mAdd has been updated to better manage memory and a fast reprojection (plane-to-plane) module has been added (mProjectPP). |
| Montage v2.0.2 | 1/13/2004 | Fixed several problems with 'boundaries' library (used by mMakeHdr). Also fixed a realloc() bug in mMakeHdr. |
| Montage v2.0.1 | 11/25/2003 | Fixed background matching (specifically mDiff bug) and made various other minor changes. |
| Montage v2.0 | 9/17/2003 | Status file option added to all modules to support GRID (Montage-G DAG) processing. Fixed a couple of bugs in mProject: FITS reading was being done incorrectly (which caused occassional error conditions) and pixel "handedness" was sometime computed incorrectly for CD matrices. |
| Montage v1.7 | 5/30/03 | Corrected defect reports from testing of version 1.6. |
| Montage v1.6 | 4/24/03 | Added support for DSS projection. Corrected defect reports from testing of version 1.5. |
| Montage v1.5 | 04/01/03 | Improved handling of command line parameters, using the Unix command getopt(). Path handling in mImgtbl modified to use filenames only; paths are fed in via arguments to individual modules. |
| Montage v1.4 | 01/27/03 | Background matching improved. |
| Montage v1.3 | 10/03/02 | Workaround for defect in WCS library affecting cylindrical projections; fix for LINUX defect in svc control library. |
| Montage v1.2 | 9/25/02 | Ported to Linux |
| Montage v1.1-beta | 7/27/02 | Updated pixel overlap to remove repeated (within positional tolerance) points. Otherwise the Girard() calculation gets confused. |
| Montage v1.0 | 7/01/02 | Initial limited release |
