| 73 | + <h1>Astropy v7.2.0 Released!</h1> |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + <p> |
| 76 | + Dear colleagues, |
| 77 | + </p> |
| 78 | + <p> |
| 79 | + We are very happy to announce the v7.2.0 release of astropy, a core Python |
| 80 | + package for Astronomy: |
| 81 | + </p> |
| 82 | + <p align='center'> |
| 83 | + <img src="astropy_logo_notext.png" style="width:80px;height:80px;"><br> |
| 84 | + <a href="http://www.astropy.org">http://www.astropy.org</a> |
| 85 | + </p> |
| 86 | + <p> |
| 87 | + The astropy core package is a community-driven Python package intended to contain much of the |
| 88 | + core functionality and common tools needed for astronomy and astrophysics. |
| 89 | + It is part of the Astropy Project, which aims to foster an ecosystem of |
| 90 | + interoperable astronomy packages for Python. |
| 91 | + </p> |
| 92 | + <p> |
| 93 | + Notable changes in this release include: |
| 94 | + <ul> |
| 95 | + <li>A faster ECSV table reader |
| 96 | + <li>Generic DataFrame conversion methods |
| 97 | + <li>Table index improvements and deprecation |
| 98 | + <li>Cosmology traits |
| 99 | + <li>An option to preserve units in FITS-WCS |
| 100 | + <li>Concatenation and stacking of coordinates and time classes |
| 101 | + </ul> |
| 102 | + </p> |
| 103 | + <p> |
| 104 | + In addition, hundreds of smaller improvements and fixes have been made. |
| 105 | + An overview of the changes is provided at: |
| 106 | + </p> |

| 109 | + href="https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/7.2.html">https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/7.2.html</a> |
| 110 | + </p> |
| 111 | + <p> |
| 112 | + Instructions for installing astropy are provided on our <a |
| 113 | + href="http://www.astropy.org">website</a>, and extensive documentation |
| 114 | + can be found at: |
| 115 | + </p> |

| 118 | + </p> |
| 119 | + <p> |
| 120 | + If you usually use pip to install packages, you can do: |
| 121 | + </p> |
| 122 | +<pre> |
| 123 | +pip install astropy --upgrade |
| 124 | +</pre> |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | + <p> |
| 127 | + If you make use of conda (such as through the <a href="https://www.continuum.io/downloads">Anaconda |
| 128 | + Python Distribution</a>), you should soon be able update to Astropy v7.2.0 with: |
| 129 | + </p> |
| 130 | +<pre> |
| 131 | +conda update astropy |
| 132 | +</pre> |
| 133 | + <p> |
| 134 | + Or if you cannot wait for Anaconda to update their default version, you can use the conda-forge channel: |
| 135 | + </p> |
| 136 | +<pre> |
| 137 | +conda update -c conda-forge astropy |
| 138 | +</pre> |
| 139 | + <p> |

| 150 | + </p> |
| 151 | + <p> |
| 152 | + If you use astropy directly for your work, or as a dependency to another |
| 153 | + package, please remember to acknowledge it by citing the appropriate |
| 154 | + Astropy paper. For the most up-to-date suggestions, see |
