What’s new¶

New features¶

• swics_abundances() and swics_heavy_ions() methods added for loading SWICS data from the Ulysses mission.
• cdfpeek() method added for peeking inside CDF files.

Backwards incompatible changes¶

• heliopy.spice.Trajectory.generate_positions() now takes a list of dates/times at which to generate orbital positions, instead of a start time, stop time, and number of steps. The old behaviour can be recovered by manually generating an evenly spaced list of times.

New features¶

HelioPy now contiains code for working with SPICE kernels. See the following modules for more information:

• heliopy.data.spice module for downloading spice kernels
• heliopy.spice module for automatically processing spice kernels

Removed features¶

• The heliopy.plasma module has been removed (see http://www.plasmapy.org/ for the recommended alternative)
• heliopy.plot code removed

New features¶

• Convert examples gallery to automatically generate plots
• Added HelioPy.data.helper.listdata() method for easily viewing the amount of data HelioPy is storing locally.
• Added heliopy.data.wind.threedp_sfpd() method for importing WIND 3DP sfpd data.

Fixed bugs¶

• Correctly report download percentage when downloading files.
• Fix issue where heliopy.data.helios.corefit() made duplicate .hdf files on days where no data is available.
