4.3 (2025-05-28)

New Features

  • The Markers plugin now includes a Distance Tool to interactively measure pixel, on-sky, and axis-separated
    (dx, dy) distances in any viewer. The tool features a real-time preview line that follows the cursor. [#3609, #3694]

  • The Plot Options plugin now highlights the tab for the active (top-most) data layer
    in the selected viewer. [#3514]

  • Added an STC-S string region parser to the Footprints plugin. [#3479]

  • General (work-in-progress) centralized app-instance available at top package-level. [#3475, #3526, #3522, #3531, #3555, #3577, #3675, #3682, #3684]

  • Added a results history table to the Line Analysis plugin. Results are no longer updated in realtime with changes to inputs,
    but rather when clicking the button or calling get_results, at which point an entry is added to the results history table
    by default. [#3557]

  • User API access to simplify_subset() method in the Subset Tools plugin. [#3601]

  • Hitting the "Enter" key while changing a value in the Subset Tools plugin will make a call to accept the changes (equivalent to clicking the "Update" button). [#3600]

  • Hitting the "Enter" key while renaming a subset or footprint will accept the changes, hitting "Escape" will cancel. [#3600]

  • Added subset_label keyword argument to import_region method of Subset Tools plugin
    to name the resulting subset(s). [#3616]

  • Ability to import subsets from the Subset Tools plugin UI. [#3639]

  • Aperture Photometry public API exposed, added API hints to plugin. [#3617]

  • Allow custom resolutions when exporting viewers to png or mp4. [#3478]

Cubeviz

  • Ability to ingest and export SkyRegion objects. [#3502]

  • Add sonified layer for each cube created by the Sonify Data plugin. [#3430, #3660]

  • Sonified data can now be added to any image viewer after initial sonification. [#3690]

  • Renamed Spectral Extraction plugin to 3D Spectral Extraction. [#3691]

Imviz

  • load_data is deprecated in favor of load method and loaders infrastructure. Default data-labels
    from load_data may change in some cases, with the actual extension name used in place of [DATA]
    and the version number included along with the extension. [#3662, #3709, #3713]

  • Loading data is now done through the loaders menu in the right sidebar. The "import data" button is
    deprecated and will open the new sidebar. [#3662, #3709]

  • Added ability to load remote data from a S3 URI to Imviz. [#3500]

  • Footprints plugin now supports selecting the closest overlay
    to a clicked point in the image viewer. [#3525, #3539, #3546, #3554]

  • Improve performance by using FITS WCS for reference data layers when linked by WCS, rather than GWCS [#3483, #3535]

  • The Export plugin now supports saving spatial subsets as STC-S strings, including CircleSkyRegion and EllipseSkyRegion,
    which are exported as CIRCLE and ELLIPSE STC-S shapes, respectively. [#3591, #3595]

  • Improve performance by using FITS WCS for reference data layers when linked by WCS, rather than GWCS. [#3483, #3535, #3540, #3687]

Specviz

  • load_data is deprecated in favor of load method and loaders infrastructure. [#3473]

  • Loading data is now done through the loaders menu in the right sidebar. The "import data" button is
    deprecated and will open the new sidebar. [#3473]

Specviz2d

  • load_data is deprecated in favor of load method and loaders infrastructure. [#3473]

  • Loading data is now done through the loaders menu in the right sidebar. The "import data" button is
    deprecated and will open the new sidebar. [#3473]

  • New plugin to vizualize the cross-dispersion profile [#3552]

  • Renamed Spectral Extraction plugin to 2D Spectral Extraction. [#3691]

API Changes

  • Allow get_regions and get_subsets to take a data label and have a subset apply to the wcs of that data.
    By setting a value for wrt_data, the user is requesting a region type that is the opposite of the current link
    type, (i.e. SkyRegion when linked by pixel or PixelRegion when linked by wcs.) Also deprecate the
    return_sky_region kwarg and leave a deprecation warning to use wrt_data instead. [#3527]

Cubeviz

  • Radial profile and curve of growth in Aperture Photometry plugin are now consistent
    with photutils.profiles. [#3510]

  • BEHAVIOR CHANGE: Change import_region method to default to creating a new subset when run.
    Also allow editing a subset using the edit_subset argument. [#3523]

Imviz

  • Radial profile and curve of growth in Aperture Photometry plugin are now consistent
    with photutils.profiles. [#3510]

  • Catalog Search: When catalog is imported from file, its original column names are
    preserved on export. [#3519]

  • User API for Catalog Search plugin (including catalog, max_sources,search,
    table, and table_selected) is now public. [#3529]

Bug Fixes

  • Improve performance when adding/removing subsets by avoiding circular callbacks. [#3628]

  • Disable export and raise vue error message upon selection of unsupported subset format. [#3635]

  • Fixed issue in compute_scale to handle the case when the wcs forward
    transform does not use units, which was previously causing issues when
    aligning by WCS. [#3658]

  • Fixed API hints for viewers in the data-menu. [#3695]

Cubeviz

  • Significantly improved the performance of Cubeviz when creating several subsets in the
    image viewer. [#3626]

  • Broadcast snackbar message to user when sonification of a data cube completes. [#3647]

  • Fixes exporting an image viewer as a movie by starting the movie at the specified slice
    and returning to the correct slice after exporting. [#3710]

Imviz

  • Catalog Search: Fixed a bug where the plugin modifies the input table if
    import_catalog is used on a table instance (not from file). [#3519]

  • Fix dropdowns for overlay not showing in UI. [#3640]

  • Prevent image wrapping in Imviz with Roman L2 images with GWCS. [#2887]

  • Fix get_zoom_limits when WCS linked and out of image bounds. [#3654]

Specviz2d

  • Fixed an issue with default angle unit being set in unit conversion plugin, which fixed
    a bug when background data from the spectral extraction plugin is added to the viewer. [#3661]

  • Fixed a bug loading array traces into Specviz2d. [#3697]

Other Changes and Additions

  • Bumped minimum version of photutils to v2.2 and Python to 3.11. [#3510]

  • Bumped minimum version of specutils to 2.0. [#2922]

  • Added strauss, qtpy, PySide6 and roman_datamodels to the list of optional
    dependencies installed with the [all] extra dependencies flag
    (i.e., pip install jdaviz[all]). [#3556]

  • Auto-update sonification label upon adding sonification to viewer. [#3430, #3656]
