v0.16.0

Added

• New Data Mask: Introduced a general mask attribute in the TSData class to automatically flag valid data points (based on finite fluxes and errors).
• Uncertainty Estimation: Added the estimate_average_uncertainties method in TSData to compute per-wavelength uncertainties using first differences.
• White Light Curve Processing: Updated the WhiteLPF class to use nanmean and isfinite checks when computing the white light curve, ensuring only valid flux values are averaged.

Changed

• Transit Mask Renaming: Renamed the old ootmask attribute to transit_mask throughout the codebase for clarity. This change affects plotting, normalization, binning, and file I/O.
• Method Renaming: Renamed calculate_ootmask in the TSDataSet class to mask_transit to reflect the updated naming convention.
• Normalization Enhancements: Updated normalization methods (normalize_to_poly and normalize_to_median) to utilize the new transit_mask and mask attributes, improving the reliability of baseline fits.
• Cropping Flexibility: Added an inplace parameter to both crop_wavelength and crop_time methods, allowing users to choose between modifying the existing data or returning a new cropped instance.
• Likelihood Function Update: Modified the lnlike_normal function in TSLPF to accept an additional mask parameter and process only valid data points during likelihood calculations.
• Outlier Handling: Refined the remove_outliers method to flag outliers by setting affected fluxes and errors to NaN, rather than replacing them with median-filtered values.

Removed

• Removed Deprecated Method: calculate_ootmask
  This method (deprecated since v0.9) has been removed in favor of the new transit masking functionality.
• Removed Deprecated Method: normalize_baseline
  The normalize_baseline method (deprecated since v0.9) has been removed; users should now use normalize_to_poly.
• Removed Deprecated Method: normalize_median
  The deprecated normalize_median method has been removed. Its functionality is now available via normalize_to_median.
• Removed Deprecated Method: split_time
  The split_time method, deprecated since v0.9, has been removed. Use partition_time instead.
