Added a changelog & fixed a bug in the reduction workflow

• Add a new file to describe new changes, corrections and improvements.
• An error is fixed regarding the inability to complete the reduction if it is indicated that astrometric calibration is not desired.

Release Notes (v1.2.0)

New Features & Changes

Configuration Setup Update:

• To generate the configuration code, you must now run sausero with a new specific argument from the terminal in the root directory containing your observations.
• Ensure the directory structure follows the guidelines in the README.
• Update the configuration according to your observations and provide a valid astrometry.net API key.
• Once completed, run sausero again from the same directory with another new argument (as specified in the README).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a warning message bug related to image saving.

Key Notes for Users

✅ Preserve the directory structure as described in the README.
✅ Update your configuration to match your observations.
✅ Provide a valid astrometry.net API key for proper functionality.

Release Notes (v1.1.0)

New Features:

• Added support for defining an absolute path to the file directory in the JSON configuration file. The field root_path is now available.
• Terminal command: sausero -pr <program_id> -bl <block_id> -a
• The previous option (defined in README.md) remains functional.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an alarm level issue in astrometrization.
• Resolved a WCS management bug when astrometrization fails.
• Corrected fringing operation misapplication on STD star frames.
• Fixed exposure time estimation, which previously calculated time for N+1 frames instead of N.

Improvements:

• Enhanced terminal and log file output for better readability.
• Improved error messaging for astrometry.net, now providing more detailed process information.

Dependency Updates:

• Updated numpy to the latest version (affecting astroalign in stack operations and sep in photometry).
• Upgraded astrometry.net to the newest release.

SAUSERO v1.0.0

Software to AUomatize in a Simple Environment the Reduction of Osiris+ data (SAUSERO) processes OSIRIS+ raw science frames to address noise, cosmetic defects, and pixel heterogeneity, preparing them for photometric analysis. Correcting these artifacts is a critical prerequisite for reliable scientific analysis. The software applies observation-specific reduction steps, ensuring optimized treatment for different data types. Developed with a focus on simplicity and efficiency, SAUSERO streamlines the reduction pipeline, enabling researchers to obtain calibrated data ready for photometric studies.

Official launch of the pipeline!!

Fixed Config File Not Found Error

This new SAUSERO version includes a new script which steps can be done automatically by the pipeline depending on the initially available files. For example, if the collection doesn't have STD star, it won't perform flux calibration.
This new script could not find the configuration file.

Fixed module error

Fix module error.

Some little variations

In this new release, I have modified the code to include:

• A new version of the final data name.
• A new collection of standard stars to use during the photometric calibration.
• It can reduce data even all filter wheels are open.

check_files function issue fixed

A small issue with check_files has been fixed. It was unable to read the configuration file correctly.

Better control over the reduction steps

This update includes some improvements for controlling the reduction process. It is now possible to skip steps if a standard star is unavailable, stacking is not required, or flux calibration is unnecessary. Additionally, the naming of the generated files has been updated to align with the new archiving policy we are implementing at GTC. Finally, some extra headers have been added to facilitate the search for images both in internal databases and in the Virtual Observatory (SVO) repository.

Note: For optimal use of the tool, the "sausero" directory in your home directory must be deleted. Then, follow the steps outlined in the manual to restore it using the new version of the configuration file. Unfortunately, you will need to reconfigure it.

Full Changelog: v0.1.3...v0.2.0

Hello, world!!

Minor modifications to the documentation for proper use of SAUSERO.
