State of the software after implementing and testing the pulsar fold-mode profile data fitting.
scatfit works well on pulsar fold-mode data now. I tested the code on data from several radio telescopes (MeerKAT, NenuFAR, and uGMRT).
- Various other documentation improvements.
- Documented how to fit pulsar and FRB data.
- Mentioned the data formats supported.
- Added code to correctly load pre-dedispersed data, such as from a single-pulse pipeline.
- Added code to correctly load full-polarisation data.
- Added a --norfi command line option to skip all internal RFI excision methods. This is useful for pre-cleaned data.
- Improvements to the output plots.
- Tweaked the plots and output for low-frequency NenuFAR data.
- Performed significant verification of the code on data from several radio telescopes.
- Made the code sideband order agnostic. It flips the band, if required.

- Described what to do for voltage data.
- Explained how to determine a scattering-corrected DM reliably.
