<h1>Astropy v3.1 Released!</h1>

<p>
Dear colleagues,
</p>
<p>
We are very happy to announce the v3.1 release of the Astropy package,
a core Python package for Astronomy:
</p>
<p align='center'>
<img src="astropy_logo_notext.png" style="width:80px;height:80px;"><br>
<a href="http://www.astropy.org">http://www.astropy.org</a>
</p>
<p>
Astropy is a community-driven Python package intended to contain much of the
core functionality and common tools needed for astronomy and astrophysics.
It is part of the Astropy Project, which aims to foster an ecosystem of
interoperable astronomy packages for Python.
</p>
<p>
Thus release had a performance focus, but also has new and improved major functionality. Highlights include:

<li>A common API for World Coordinate Systems</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
In addition, hundreds of smaller improvements and fixes have been made. An overview of the changes is provided at:
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/3.1.html">http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/3.1.html</a>
</p>
<p>
Note that the Astropy 3.x series only supports Python 3. Python 2 users can continue to use the 2.x series, which will receive bug fixes until the Python developers permanently sunset Python 2.7 (scheduled for 2019).
</p>
<p>
Instructions for installing Astropy are provided on our <a
href="http://www.astropy.org">website</a>, and extensive documentation can be
found at:
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
If you make use of the <a href="https://www.continuum.io/downloads">Anaconda
Python Distribution</a>, you can update to Astropy v3.1 with:
</p>
<pre>
conda update astropy
</pre>
<p>
Whereas if you usually use pip, you can do:
</p>
<pre>
pip install astropy --upgrade
</pre>
<p>
Please report any issues, or request new features via our GitHub repository:

Over 253 developers have contributed code to Astropy so far, and you can find out more about the team behind Astropy here:

As a reminder, Astropy v2.0 (our long term support release) will continue to be supported with bug fixes until the end 2019, so if you need to use Astropy in a very stable environment, you may want to consider staying on the v2.0.x set of releases (for which we have recently released v2.0.4).

Why not copy and paste the acknowledgement from the acknowledging and citing page, or link to that?

package, please remember to include the following acknowledgment at the end of
papers:
