Version 1.4.2

This is a small change to fix a problem that prevented the last version (1.4.1) from getting pushed to PyPI.

Full details below and in our changelog:

What's Changed

• Fix the CI that pushes new releases to pypi and prep for another release by @bhazelton in #601

Full Changelog: v1.4.1...v1.4.2

Version 1.4.1

This release includes a significant re-working of the first generation reference sims. It also has a number of new features and bug fixes including:

• Support for beams with only one feed (resulting in a single polarization in the visibilities).
• Support for selecting SkyModel components that do not have NaN values in the stokes parameter at either any or all frequencies and with no negative Stokes I values.
• A bug where measurement sets could not be written out because they were not
  phased.
• A bug in the way the time and frequency arrays were set up from the obsparam yamls when they were specified with the start, end, spacing, number and width parameters rather than with the arrays.
• A bug in round-tripping times through obsparam yaml files caused by precision loss when writing out the yaml files.
• A bug causing large memory usage for simulations using sky models with spectral index or subband spectral types.
• A bug in handling diffuse maps with units of Jy/sr.
• A bug when specifying a frequency buffer for beam frequency selects in telescope config files.
• A bug where lunarsky was imported even for simulations on earth.

Some dependency minimum versions were updated:

• python>=3.11
• pyuvdata>=3.2.3
• pyradiosky>=1.1.0
• scipy>=1.9

Some optional dependency minimum versions were updated:

• mpi4py>=3.1.3
• pooch>=1.8 (a new optional dependency for testing)

Version 1.4.0

This version has some major changes including:

• Use the new pyuvdata analytic beams and remove all analytic beam specifications in pyuvsim.
• BeamLists now contain BeamInterface objects (but are still initialized with lists of UVBeam and/or Analytic Beam objects)
• Significant refactoring of BeamLists, removing the string/object mode and replacing it with a shared memory approach similar to what is done for SkyModel objects.
• Setting the select.bls property in the obsparams file now selects baselines before creating the UVData object, rather than down-selecting afterwards, saving memory and time.

The following dependency requirements were updated:

• Updated minimum dependency versions: pyuvdata>=3.1.0
• Updated minimum optional dependency versions: lunarsky>=0.2.5

when the source list was large enough that it needed to be split among processing units.

Additionally this release add support for reordering along the baseline-time axis and adds several new options for simulation setup, including options for partial reading of beams and controlling the baseline-time axis ordering.

This version updates the following required dependencies:

• pyuvdata >= 2.2.10,<2.3

This release includes support for turning off a check during UVBeam interpolation that checks if the location being interpolated to is covered by the beam. With this release, that check is turned off by default if the beam covers the full sky horizon-to-horizon, and allows users to turn the check off by hand. Turning off this check can speed things up significantly.

Full details are in our changelog and in the automatically generated details below.

Full Changelog: v1.2.3...v1.2.4

Version 1.2.3

This version fixes auto visibilities to be real by default so that they can be written to output files by all versions of pyuvdata.

Other changes include:

• Adding parameters to various methods and scripts to allow users to save the output from nonzero ranks for debugging purposes
• Begin a process to change what is returned by the methods in simsetup.py that initialize UVData and SkyModel objects to only return those objects by default
• Updates the astropy requirement to >= 5.0.4
