Improved how we handle equal aspect ratio to not depend on Matplotlib. [#1894]
Avoid showing a warning when closing an empty tab. [#1890]

Fix issues with reading very large FITS files on some systems. [#1884]
Added documentation about plugins. [#1837]
Better isolate code related to pixel selection tool in image viewer that depended on Qt. [#1763]
Improve handling of units in FITS files. [#1723]
Added documentation about creating viewers for glue using the new state-based infrastructure. [#1740]
Make it possible to pass the initial state of a viewer to an application's new_data_viewer method. [#1877]
Ensure that glue can be imported if QtPy is installed but PyQt and PySide aren't. [#1865, #1836]
Fix unit display for coordinates from WCS headers that don't have CTYPE but have CUNIT. [#1856]
Enable tab completion on Data objects. [#1874]
Automatically select datasets in link editor if there are only two. [#1837]
Change 'Export Session' dialog to offer to save with relative paths to data by default instead of absolute paths. [#1803]
Added a new method screenshot on GlueApplication to save a screenshot of the current view. [#1808]
Show the active subset in the toolbar. [#1797]
Refactored the viewer class base classes [#1746]:
- glue.core.application_base.ViewerBase has been removed in favor of glue.viewers.common.viewer.BaseViewer and glue.viewers.common.viewer.Viewer.
- glue.viewers.common.viewer.Viewer is now where the base logic is defined for using state classes in viewers (instead of glue.viewers.common.qt.DataViewerWithState).
- glue.viewers.common.qt.DataViewerWithState is now deprecated.
Make it so that the modest image only resamples the data when the mouse is no longer pressed - this avoids too many refreshes when panning/zooming. [#1866]
Make it possible to unglue multiple links in one go. [#1809]
Make it so that adding a subset to a viewer no longer adds the associated data, since in some cases the viewer can handle the subset size, but not the full data. [#1807]
Defined a new abstract base class for all datasets, BaseData, and a base class BaseCartesianData, which can be used to implement interfaces to datasets that may be remote or may not be stored as regular cartesian data. [#1768]
Add a new method Data.compute_statistic which can be used to find scalar and array statistics on the data, and use for the profile viewer and the state limits helpers. [#1737]
Add a new method Data.compute_histogram which can be used to find histograms of specific components, with or without subsets applied. [#1739]
Removed Data.get_pixel_component_ids and Data.get_world_component_ids in favor of Data.pixel_component_ids and Data.world_component_ids. [#1784]
Deprecated Data.visible_components and Data.primary_components. [#1788]
Speed up histogram calculations by using the fast-histogram package instead of np.histogram. [#1806]
In the case of categorical attributes, Data[name] now returns a categorical_ndarray object rather than the indices of the categories. You can access the indices with Data[name].codes and the unique categories with Data[name].categories. [#1784]
Compute profiles and histograms asynchronously when dataset is large to avoid holding up the UI, and compute profiles in chunks to avoid excessive memory usage. [#1736, #1764]
Improved naming of components when merging datasets. [#1249]
Fixed an issue that caused residual references to viewers after they were closed if they were accessed through the IPython console. [#1770]
Don't show layer edit options if layer is not visible. [#1805]
Make the Matplotlib viewer code that doesn't depend on Qt accessible to non-Qt frontends. [#1841]
Avoid repeated coordinate components in merged datasets. [#1792]

Show correct dataset when using control-click to select to add arithmetic attributes or rename/reorder components. [#1802]
Improve performance when updating links and changing attributes on subsets. [#1716]
Fix errors that happened when clicking on the 'Export Data' and 'Define arithmetic attributes' buttons when no data was present, and fixed Qt errors that happened if the data collection changed after the 'Export Data' dialog was opened. [#1795]
Fixed parsing of AVM meta-data from images. [#1732]

Fixed a bug which caused the y-axis in the PV slice viewer to be incorrect if the WCS could not be computed. [#1615]
Fixed a bug that caused the WCS of a PV slice to be incorrect if the user has selected a custom order of the axes of a cube in the image viewer. [#1615]
Fixed ticks on log x-axis in histogram viewer. [#7310]
Fixed a bug that led to poor performance when slicing through data cubes. [#1554]

v0.12.5 (2018-03-10)

Fixed a bug which caused the current slices to be lost when adding a second dataset to the image viewer. [#1581]
Fixed a bug when two datasets with a different number of dimensions were in an image viewer and a subset was created. [#1577]
Fixed issues when attempting to close a viewer with the delete key. [#1574]
Disabled default Matplotlib key bindings. [#1574]
Fix compatibility with Matplotlib 2.2. [#1566]
Fix compatibility with some versions of pytest. [#1520]

Don't disable layer completely if it is not enabled, just disable checkbox. Also show warnings instead of layer style editor. [#1451]
Generalize registry for data/subset actions to replace the former single_subset_action registry (which applied only to single subset selections). Layer actions can now be registered with the @layer_action decorator. [#1396]
Added support for plotting vectors in the scatter plot viewer. [#1410]
Added glue plugins to the Version Information dialog. [#1427]

Remove 'sep' from menu on Linux. [#1394]
Fixed bug in spectrum tool that caused the upper range in aggregations to be incorrectly calculated. [#1402]
Fixed icon for scatter plot layer when a colormap is used, and fix issues with viewer layer icons not updating immediately. [#1425]
Fixed dragging and dropping session files onto glue (this now loads the session rather than trying to load it as a dataset). Also now show a warning when the application is about to be reset to open a new session. [#1425, #1448]
Make sure no errors happen if making a selection in an empty viewer. [#1425]
Fix creating faceted subsets on Python 3.x when no dataset is selected. [#1425]

Fix issues with labels for categorical axes in the scatter and histogram viewers, in particular when loading viewers with categorical axes from session files. [#1425]
Make sure a GUI error message is shown when adding non-1-dimensional data to a table viewer. [#1425]
Fix issues when trying to launch glue multiple times from a Jupyter session. [#1425]
Remove the ability to define the color of a subset differ from that of a subset group it belongs to - this was virtually never needed but could cause issues. [#1426]
Fixed a bug that caused a previously disabled image subset layer to not become visible when shown again. [#1450]
Added the ability to rename tabs programmatically. [#1405]

v0.11.1 (2017-08-25)

Fixed bug that caused ModestImage references to not be properly deleted, in turn leading to issues/crashes when removing subsets from image viewers. [#1390]
Fixed bug with reading in old session files with a table viewer. [#1389]

v0.11.0 (2017-08-22)

Added splash screen. [#694]
Make file extension check case-insensitive. [#1275]
Fixed bug that caused table viewer to not update when adding components. [#1386]
Fixed loading of plain (non-structured) arrays from Numpy files. [#1314, #1385]

Give an error if the user selects a session file when going through the 'Open Data Set' menu. [#1364]
Improved scatter plot viewer to be able to show points with color or size based on other attributes. Also added a 'line' style to make line plots, and added the ability to show error bars. [#1358]
Changed order of arguments for data exporters from (data, filename) to (filename, data). [#1251]
Added registry decorators to define subset mask importers and exporters. [#1251]
Get rid of QTimers for updating the data collection and layer artist lists, and instead refresh whenever a message is sent from the hub (which results in immediate changes rather than waiting up to a second for things to change). [#1343]
Made it possible to delay callbacks from the Hub using the Hub.delay_callbacks context manager. Also fixed the Hub so that it uses weak references to classes and methods wherever possible. [#1339]
Added a new method DataCollection.remove_link to match existing DataCollection.add_link. [#1339]
Fix a bug that caused no messages to be emitted when components were removed from Data objects, and add a new DataRemoveComponentMesssage. [#1339]
Fix a long-standing bug which caused performance issues after linking coordinate or derived components between datasets. [#1339]
Added a function is_equivalent_cid that can be used to determine whether two component IDs in a dataset are equivalent. [#1339]
The image contrast and bias can now be set with the left click as well as right click. [#1323]
Updated ComponentIDComboHelper so that it can work with single datasets that aren't necessarily attached to a DataCollection. [#1296]
Updated bundled version of echo to include fixes to avoid circular references, which in turn caused some callback functions to not be cleaned up. [#1281]
Rewrote the histogram, scatter, and image viewers to use the new state infrastructure. This significantly simplifies the actual histogram viewer code both in terms of number of lines and in terms of the number of connections/callbacks that need to be set up manually. [#1278, #1289, #1388]
Updated EditSubsetMode so that Data objects no longer have an edit_subset attribute - instead, the current list of subsets being edited is kept in EditSubsetMode itself. We also update the subset state only once on each subset group, rather than once per dataset, which avoids doing the same update to each dataset multiple times. [#1338]
Remove the ability to create a new viewer by right-clicking on the canvas, since this causes confusion when trying to control-click to paste in the IPython terminal. [#1342]
Make process_dialog more robust. [#1333]
Fix example of setting up a custom preferences pane. [#1326]
Fix a bug that caused links to not get removed if associated datasets were removed. [#1329]
Fixed a bug that meant that the table viewer did not update when a NumericalDataChangedMessage message was emitted. [#1378]
Added new combo helpers in glue.core.data_combo_helper which are similar to those in glue.core.qt.data_combo_helper but operate on SelectionCallbackProperty and are Qt-independent. [#1346]
Rewrote installation instructions. [#1330]

v0.10.4 (2017-05-23)

Fixed a bug that caused merged datasets to crash viewers (because the visible_components attribute returned an empty list). [#1288]

v0.10.3 (2017-04-20)

Fixed bugs with saving and restoring of various types of subset states. [#1285]
Fixed a bug that caused glue to not open when IPython 4.0 was installed. [#1287]

Hide common Matplotlib warnings when min/max along an axis are equal. [#1268]
Fixed a bug that caused sessions with table viewers that had no subsets to not be restored correctly. [#1271]

v0.10.1 (2017-03-16)

Fixed compatibility with session files from before v0.8. [#1243]
Renamed package to glue-core, since glueviz is now a meta-package (no need for a new major version since this change should be seamless to users).

v0.10.0 (2017-02-14)

The GlueApplication.add_data and load_data methods now return the loaded data objects. [#1239]
Change default name of subsets to include the word 'Subset'. [#1234]
Removed ginga plugin from core package and moved it to a separate repository at https://github.com/ejeschke/glue-ginga.
Switch from using bundled WCSAxes to using the version in Astropy, and fixed an issue that caused the frame of the axes to be too thick. [#1231]
Make it possible to define a default index for DataComboHelper - this makes it possible for viewers to have three DataComboHelper and ensure that they default to different attributes. [#1163]
Deal properly with adding Subset objects to DataComboHelper. [#1163]
Added the ability to export data and subset from the data collection view via contextual menus. It was previously possible to export only the mask itself, and only to FITS files, but the framework for exporting data/subsets has now been generalized.
When hiding layers in the RGB image viewer, make sure the current layer changes to be a visible one if possible.
Avoid merging IDs when creating identity links. The previous behavior of merging was good for performance but made it impossible to undo the linking by un-glueing. Derived components created by links are now hidden by default. Finally, ComponentID objects now hold a reference to the first parent data they are used in. [#1189]
Added a decorator that can be used to avoid circular calling of methods (can occur when dealing with callbacks). [#1207]
Drop support for IPython 3.x and below, and make IPython and qtconsole into required dependencies. [#1145]
Added new classes that can be used to hold the state of e.g. viewers and other objects. These classes allow callbacks to be attached to various properties, and can be used to define logical relations between different attributes in a GUI-independent way.
Fix selections when using Matplotlib 2.x, PyQt5 and a retina display. [#1236]
Updated ComponentIDComboHelper to no longer store (cid, data) as the userData but instead just the cid (the data is now accessible via cid.parent). [#1212]
Avoid duplicate toolbar in dendrogram viewer. [#1213, #1237]
Fixed bug that caused the contrast to change for the incorrect layer in the RGB image viewer.
Fixed bug that caused coordinate information to be lost when merging datasets. The original behavior of keeping the coordinate information from the first dataset has been restored. [#1186]
Fix Data.update_values_from_data to make sure that original component order is preserved. [#1238]
Fix Data.components to return original component order, not alphabetical order. [#1238]
Fix significant performance bottlenecks with WCS coordinate conversions. [#1185]
Fix error when changing the contrast radio button the RGB image viewer mode, and also fix bugs with setting the range of values manually. [#1187]
Fix a bug that caused coordinate axis labels to be lost during merging. [#1195]
Fix a bug that caused tab names to not be saved and restored to/from session files. [#1241, #1242]

v0.9.1 (2016-11-01)

Fixed loading of session files made with earlier versions of glue that contained selections made in 3D viewers. [#1160]
Fixed plotting of fit on spectrum to make sure that the two are properly aligned. [#1158]
Made it possible to now create InequalitySubsetStates for categorical components using e.g. d.id['a'] == 'string'. [#1153]
Fixed a bug that caused selections to not propagate properly between linked images and cubes. [#1144]
Make last interval of faceted subsets inclusive so as to make sure all values in the faceted subset range end up in a subset. [#1154]

v0.9.0 (2016-10-10)

Fix serialization of celestial coordinate link functions. Classes inheriting from MultiLink should now call MultiLink.init with individual components (not grouped into left/right) then the create_links method with the components separated into left/right and the methods for forward/backward transformation. The original behavior can be retained by using the multi_link function instead of the MultiLink class. [#1139]
Improve support for spectral cubes. [#1075]
Allow link functions/helpers to define a category using the category= argument (which defaults to General), and make it possible to filter by category in the link editor. [#1141]
Only show the 'waiting' cursor when glue is doing something. [#1097]
Make sure that the scatter layer artist style editor is shown when overplotting a scatter plot on top of an image. [#1134]
Data viewers can now make layer_style_widget_cls a dictionary in cases where multiple layer artist types are supported. [#1134]
Fix compatibility of test suite with pytest 3.x. [#1116]
Updated bundled version of WCSAxes to v0.9. [#1089]
Fix compatibility with pre-releases of Matplotlib 2.0. [#1115]
Implement new widget with better control over exporting to Plotly. The preference pane for Plotly export has now been removed in favor of this new way to set the options. [#1057]
Renamed the ComponentIDComboHelper and ManualDataComboHelper append methods to append_data and the remove methods to remove_data, and added a new ComponentIDComboHelper.set_multiple_data method. [#1060]
Fixed reading of units from FITS and VO tables, and display units in table viewer. [#1135, #1137]
Make use of the QtPy package to deal with differences between PyQt4, PyQt5, and PySide, instead of the custom qt-helpers package. The glue.external.qt package is now deprecated. The get_qapp and load_ui functions are now available in glue.utils.qt. [#1018, #1074, #1077, #1078, #1081]
Avoid raising a (harmless) error when selecting a region in between two categorical components.
Added a new Data method, update_values_from_data, that can be used to replicate components from one dataset into another. [#1112]
Refactored code related to toolbars in order to make it easier to define toolbars and toolbar modes that aren't Matplotlib-specific. [#1085, #1120]
Added a new table viewer. [#1084, #1123]
Fix saving/loading of categorical components. [#1084]
Make it possible for tools to define a status bar message. [#1084]
Added a command-line option, --no-maximized, that prevents glue from opening up with the application window maximized. [#1093, #1126]
When opening multiple files in one go, if one of the files fails to read, the error will now indicate which file failed. [#1104]
