Deprecations and Removals

1.6.1 (unreleased)

Bug Fixes

• Fix propagating some previously swallowed exceptions. [#614]

1.6 (2024-11-01)

Enhancements and Fixes

• Add method list_interfaces to pyvo.registry.regtap.RegistryResource that returns the list of available interfaces linked to services. Add keyword parameter in get_service which should match capability_description. [#505, #525]
• Add list of access points to services in pyvo.registry.regtap.RegistryResource.describe when there is more than one service available [#525]
• Add optional capability_description parameter and a __repr__ to pyvo.dal.query.DALService abstract base class [#505]
• Make lax parameter default to False in registry get_service method [#505]
• Making optional parameters keyword only throughout the public API. [#507]
• registry.Ivoid now accepts multiple ivoids and will then match any of them. [#517]
• Introducing the new MIVOT module, enabling processed VOTable data mapped to any model serialized in VO-DML. This package dynamically generates python objects whose structure corresponds to the classes of the mapped models. [#497]
• MIVOT module: the model references in the dictionaries that are used to build MivotInstance objects are made more consistent [#551]
• RegTAP constraints involving tables other than rr.resource are now done via subqueries for less duplication of interfaces. [#562, #572]
• MIVOT module: If the MIVOT annotation block contains a valid instance of the mango:EpochPosition class, the dynamic object describing the mapped data can generate a valid SkyCoord instance. [#591]
• New sub-package discover for global dataset discovery. [#470]
• Updated getdatalink to be consistent with iter_datalinks. [#613]

Deprecations and Removals

• SodaRecordMixin no longer will use a datalink#links endpoint for soda [#580]
• Deprecating the use of "image" and "spectrum" in registry Servicetype constraints [#449]

1.5.3 (2024-10-14)

Bug Fixes

• cachedataset() and friends again produce reasonable file extensions. [#553]
• Path separators are no longer taken over from image titles to file system paths. [#557]
• Added 'sia1' as servicetype for registry searches. [#583]
• Adding session kwarg to allow to pass a session along when turning an Interface into a service via Interface.to_service. [#590]
• Include port number if it is present in endpoint access URL. [#582]
• Where datalink records are made from table rows, the table row is now accessible as datalinks.original_row. [#559]
• Tables returned by RegistryResource.get_tables() now have a utype attribute. [#576]
• Registry Spatial constraint now supports Astropy Quantities for the radius argument. [#594]
• iter_metadata() no longer crashes on tables with a datalink RESOURCE and without obscore attributes. [#599]
• Avoid assuming that 'access_url' always exits. [#570]

Deprecations and Removals

• Removed usage of the astropy TestRunner, therefore the unadvertised pyvo.test() functionality. [#606]

1.5.2 (2024-05-22)

Bug Fixes

• Avoid Astropy Time error for SIAResult.dateobs when VOX:Image_MJDateObs or ssa:DataID.Date is nan. [#550]
• More robust handling of SIA1 FORMAT [#545]

1.5.1 (2024-02-21)

Bug Fixes

• Fix pyvo.registry.Author to allow registry searches with author constraints. [#515]
• Backing out of having alt_identifier in RegistryResource throughout. Use get_alt_identifier() instead [#523]
• Fix maxrec=0 special case for SIA2 queries. [#520]

1.5 (2023-12-19)

Enhancements and Fixes

• registry.search now allows programmatic selection of the registry TAP service endpoint with the choose_RegTAP_service function. [#386]
• registry.search now introspects the TAP service's capabilities and only offers extended functionality or optimisations if the required features are present [#386]
• Registry search now finds SIA v2 services. [#422, #428]
• Made SIA2Service accept access urls without finding them in the service capabilities. [#500]
• Fix session inheritance in SIA2. [#490]
• Add intersect modes for the spatial constraint in the registry module pyvo.registry.Spatial. [#495]
• Added alt_identifier, created, updated and rights to the attributes of pyvo.registry.regtap.RegistryResource [#492]
• Added the source_value and alt_identifier information to the verbose output of describe() in regtap. [#492]
• Added convenience method DALResults.to_qtable() that returns an astropy.table.QTable object. [#384]
• TAP examples now support the continuation property. [#483]
• Fix poor polling behavior when running an async query against a TAP v1.1 service with unsupported WAIT parameter. [#440]
• Adding python version to User-Agent. [#452]
• Output of repr for DALResults instance now clearly shows it is a DALResultsTable and not a generic astropy Table. [#478]
• Adding support for the VODataService 1.2 nrows attribute on table elements. [#503]

Deprecations and Removals

• Classes SIAService, SIAQuery, SIAResults for SIA v2 have been renamed to SIA2Service, SIA2Query, SIA2Results respectively as well as the variable SIA_PARAMETERS_DESC to SIA2_PARAMETERS_DESC. The old names now issue an AstropyDeprecationWarning. [#419]
• Class pyvo.vosi.vodataservice.Table has been renamed to VODataServiceTable to avoid sharing the name with a more generic astropy.table.Table while having different API. [#484]
• Deprecate VOSI AvailabilityMixin, this mean the deprecation of the inherited availability, available, and up_since properties of DAL service classes, too. [#413]
• Deprecating ivoid2service because it is ill-defined. [#439]

1.4.2 (2023-08-16)

1.4.1 (2023-03-07)

• pyvo.registry.search now accepts an optional maxrec argument rather than automatically passing the service's hard limit. [#375]
• Fixed the RegTAP fragment for the discovery of EPN-TAP tables. [#395]
• Removed defaults for optional SIAv1 and SSA query parameters to avoid unnecessarily overriding the server-side defaults. [#367]
• Error messages from uws jobs are now in job.errorsummary.message rather than job.message (where one wouldn't expect them given the UWS schema). [#432]
• Avoid raising AttributeError for None responses. [#392]

1.4 (2022-09-26)

• Added the TAP Table Manipulation prototype (cadc-tb-upload). [#274]
• More explicit exception messages where the payload is sometimes considered if it can be presented properly (simple body text or job error message). [#355]
• we now ignore namespaces in xsi-type attributes; this is a lame fix for services like ESO's and MAST's TAP, which do not use canonical prefixes while astropy.utils.xml ignores namespaces. [#323]
• Overhaul of the registry.regsearch as discussed in https://blog.g-vo.org/towards-data-discovery-in-pyvo.html. This should be backwards-compatible. [#289]
