The SunPy project is happy to announce the release of SunPy 1.1! SunPy is an open-source Python library for Solar Physics data analysis and visualization.
This release is our first major release post-1.0 and part of our new release pattern.
The major highlights of this release are:
- The ~sunpy.coordinates subpackage now supports four additional coordinate frames (HCI, HEE, GSE, and GEI).
- A new subpackage sunpy.data.data_manager has been added to support versioned data for functions and methods.
- Support in sunpy.map and sunpy.net for the SUVI instrument on GOES satellites.
- Initial support for WISPR data from Parker Solar Probe in sunpy.map.
- The import times for sunpy and some subpackages are significantly shorter, with no loss of functionality.
