v2.1.6

This is the v2.1.6 release of PyCBC.

The 2.1.x release line will be reserved for production PyCBC Live analyses throughout the first part of O4, and possibly for the entire run, depending on development activities over the next year. It should therefore only contain backports from the master branch related to PyCBC Live.

With respect to 2.1.5, 2.1.6 fixes a few bugs. The main functionality of the search is unchanged.

The 2.1.x release line will be reserved for production PyCBC Live analyses throughout the first part of O4, and possibly for the entire run, depending on development activities over the next year. It should therefore only contain backports from the master branch related to PyCBC Live.

With respect to 2.1.3, 2.1.4 improves the single-detector trigger fitting algorithm and the SNR optimizer, enables the use of the PSD variation statistic in the ranking of candidates, and brings in a few recent changes that allow the GitHub CI test to pass on the release branch.

v2.1.3 release of PyCBC

This is the v2.1.3 release of PyCBC.

The 2.1.x release line will be reserved for production PyCBC Live analyses throughout the first part of O4, and possibly for the entire run, depending on development activities over the next year. It should therefore only contain backports from the master branch related to PyCBC Live.

2.1.3 fixes several bugs and adds a few features, primarily an improved autogating procedure and the ability to select one or more interferometers as "followup detectors" which will be used for spatial localization but not for generating candidates.
