v0.14.2

Fixed a bug with Poetry

v0.14.1

Added possibility to use class hierarchy for events, i.e. subscribe to a class and receive all derived events.
Change to Poetry as build system

v0.14 (2021-11-03)

Guiding modules accept a pipeline now, so more image processors than just Offsets can run.
Renamed ICameraBinning, ICameraExposureTime and ICameraWindow and removed the “Camera” part.
Added meta attribute (temporary storage, not I/O persistent) to Image.
Extracted IImageGrabber from ICamera and renamed expose() to grab_image().
Added new IVideo interface and a corresponding BaseVideo module.
Raising exception, if XmppComm cannot connect to server, allowing for graceful exit.
On shutdown, wait for hanging threads, and kill them after 30 seconds.
Multi-processing for the pipeline, using ccdproc now.
New interface IPointingSeries, giving access to methods at the telescope that support pointing series.
Send logs in thread.
Added concept of image processors that take an Image as parameter and return it after some processing.
Added new NStarOffsets image processor (T. Masur).
Improved scheduler.
Added pipelines that take a list of image processors (see Pipeline mixin).
Re-organized all get_object methods.
Improved type hints throughout the code.
Renamed all coordinated interfaces (IRaDec, etc) to IPointing*, i.e. IPointingRaDec.
Renamed all offset interfaces to IOffsets*, i.e. IOffsetsRaDec.
Renamed IFitsHeaderProvider to IFitsHeaderBefore and also renamed its only method.
Added IFitsHeaderAfter to fetch FITS headers after an exposure as well.
Moved functionality from Module to Object.
New meta data system for images.
Renamed IStoppable to IStartStop.
Added new proxy interfaces in interfaces.proxies. All proxies now derive from these interfaces instead of the original ones.
And a lot more cleanup and re-organization.

v0.13 (2021-04-30)

Added a Telegram bot module.
Added a module for a Kiosk mode, in which pictures are published on a webpage.

Moved more enums into utils.enums, like WeatherSensors and MotionStatus.
Added list_binnings() to IBinning interface and (temporary) default implementation in BaseCamera.
Restructured image processors into pyobs.image.processors.
Split photometry into separate SourceDetection and Photometry interfaces, added DaophotSourceDetection, and PhotUtilsPhotometry.
Sending events non-blocking, which might solve some problems with disappeared XMPP clients.
Added lots of documentation, which included setting __module__ for many classes.

v0.12 (2021-01-01)

Changed PyObsModule to Module.
Removed possibility for network configs.

Flat scheduler: add options for readout times.
New OnlineReduction module for reduction during the night.
Fixed bug that sometimes appears in the interface caching for Comm.
LcoTaskArchive: added MoonSeparationConstraint, fixed AirmassConstraint.
Optimized Scheduler by only scheduling blocks that actually have a window in the given range.
Added module Seeing that extracts FWHMs from the catalogs in reduced images and calculated a median seeing.
Introduced concept of Publishers, which can be used to publish data to log, CSV, and hopefully later, database, web, etc.
Created new Object class that handles most of what Module did before so that Module only adds module specific stuff.
Added some convenience methods for reading/writing files to VFS.
Added new IConfig interface which is implemented in every module and allows remote access to config parameters (if getter/setters are implemented).
Removed count parameter from ICamera.expose().
Removed exposure_time parameter from ICamera.expose() and introduced IExposureTime interface.
