<h1>Astropy v5.1 Released!</h1>

<p>
Dear colleagues,
</p>
<p>
We are very happy to announce the v5.1 release of astropy,
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>
The astropy core package 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>
New and improved major functionality in this release includes:
<ul>
<li>Updates to cosmology</li>
<li>doppler_redshift() equivalency</li>
<li>Specifying data types when reading ASCII tables</li>
<li>Structured Columns</li>
<li>New model fitters have been added</li>
<li>Allow time conversions without predictive Earth rotation data (IERS-A)</li>
<li>Uncertainty classes can be transformed into each other</li>
<li>Schechter1D Model</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="https://docs.astropy.org/en/v5.1/whatsnew/5.1.html">http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/5.1.html</a>
</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>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://docs.astropy.org">http://docs.astropy.org</a>
</p>
<p>
If you usually use pip/vanilla Python, you can do:
</p>
<pre>
pip install astropy --upgrade
</pre>

<p>
If you make use of the <a href="https://www.continuum.io/downloads">Anaconda
Python Distribution</a>, soon you will be able update to Astropy v5.1 with:
</p>
<pre>
conda update astropy
</pre>
<p>
Or if you cannot wait for Anaconda to update their default version, you can use the conda-forge channel:
</p>
<pre>
conda update -c conda-forge astropy
</pre>
<p>
Please report any issues, or request new features via our GitHub repository:
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues">https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues</a>
</p>
<p>
Over 400 people have contributed code to the core astropy package so far, and you can find out more about the team here:
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.astropy.org/team.html">https://www.astropy.org/team.html</a>
</p>
<p>
If you use astropy directly for your work, or as a dependency to another
package, please remember to acknowledge it by citing the appropriate
Astropy paper. For the most up-to-date suggestions, see
<a href="../acknowledging.html">the acknowledgement page</a>, but as of
this release the recommendation is:
</p>
<p class="citation"><cite>This research made use of Astropy, a
community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (<a href="https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/aabc4f" target="_blank">Astropy Collaboration,
2018</a>).</cite></p>


<p>
We hope that you enjoy using astropy as much as we enjoyed developing it!
</p>

v5.1 Release Coordinator<br>
