December 1, 2025 Code rollover Eric Changed $APLSUB/GETRLS.FOR. $INSUNIX/INSTEP1, $SYSPERL/install.pl, $SYSPERL/update.pl, $SYSPERL/ZXHLP2.PL, $SYSPERL/LaCook.PL, $SYSPERL/AIPSHELP, $UPDUNIX/UPDCONTROL, $SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH.CSH, $SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH.SH $SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH1.CSH, $SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH1.SH to make 31DEC26 instead of 31DEC25 - also fix dates in install.pl and update.pl. Moved nowhere. 16336. December 5, 2025 CVS Eric Removed more references to cvs from install.pl ans MAKE.MNJ. Most were already limited to COAOARN or commented out. Moved nowhere. 16337. December 4-5 AIPS web site Eric Reviewed the files on the AIPS web site and updated several. Created new web page and data area for VLBAPIPE and updated the VLBARUN files. 16338. December 10, 2025 NEWPARMS Eric Changing OFMGET and OFMSAVE to pseudo verbs in a RUN file does not work. Removed those two lines. This means COMPRESS is much better than RUN NEWPARMS. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16339. December 10, 2025 CATALOG Eric Changed AU3 and help file to drop INTYPE. It frequently causes issues so it was not include in CAT2LOG et al. Changed INTYPE help as well. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16340. December 10, 2025 PRPLT Eric PRPLT forgot to set XYRATIO to some sort of default so XYRATIO =0 caused a failure. Changed GINITL to trap this and set it to 1.0 on DOTV false or to the TV window ratio. Changed PRPLT also to adjust the top text position and set XYRATIO. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16341. December 10, 2025 GREYS Eric Added DPARM to control the profile plots with (1) and (2) controling size and (3)-(6) controling pixrange. Changed to use the same metric scaling throughout. Added units strings when a profile on the top is plotted. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16342. December 10, 2025 CLCAL Eric Added a string on each SOURCES and CALSOUR history line saying omitted or included. This information is already in the HI file but some people do not read. Moved nowhere. 16343. December 11, 2025 CLPLT Eric Made printing to OUTTEXT a separate subroutine done before plots so that stopping plots does not cut off the printing. Corrected feature in which it lost the last sample which is very bad when there is only one sample. Changed to plot scaling to let it show more detail. Moved to 31DEC25 on 12 December. 16344. December 12, 2025 Misc Eric In GREYS, corrected units label at the bottom and position of the label to right of top profile. IN CLPLT added antenna numbers to the print out at the top of each triangle. Changed number of adverbs in GREYS in subroutines AU2A (PLGET) and AU8A (extlist). Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16345. December 15, 2025 CAPLT Eric Added DOPRINT and OUTTEXT to CAPLT and added a subroutine to print the values ahead of the subroutine to plot them. That means that the full print is done even when the user stops the plotting after a page or two. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16346. December 16, 2025 CLPLT, CAPLT Eric Changed the computation of error bars from an assumption that data weights are fully calibrator in 1/Jy^2. The new computation uses the scatter in the data over the SOLINT interval and hence requires that SOLINT be at least several times the input integration time. Correct formulae are used for the amplitude and phase functions' error computation. Then the uncertainty is divided by the sqrt of the number of samples - 1 to put the errors as "expected error". Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16347. December 22, 2025 EXTAB Eric Corrected time format by adding a leading '0' when the seconds are less than 9.95. Was blank before. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16348. December 29, 2025 Plot labels, PRPLT Eric Changed CLAB1, CLAB2, IAXIS1, and TVLAB to put one and only one blank character between the prefix and the axis label. This should read better. Changed PRPLT to improve the positioning of the labels. The top label was too close to the top plot and the multiple panel plots did not leave enough room for the labels. Fix DOPROFIL info in PRPLT help. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16349. December 29, 2025 AIPSLetter Eric The AIPSLetter for 31DEC25 is done. Saved in $AIPSPUBL the TEX, PDF, and PS.gz versions. The straight ps file is nearly 3 Mbytes. Moved everywhere in $AIPSPUBL. 16350. January 2, 2026 EVLA corrections Eric Took the file maintained by the analysts of corrections to EVLA antenna locations and saved it in AIPS as $AIPSTARS file EVLA.ant.2025. Also made a dummy VLA.ant.2025 in $AIPSTARS. Made a new 2026 file for the analysts. Moved everywhere in $AIPSTARS. 16351. January 2, 2026 RLCAL Eric Moved test on whether a model is provided outside the IF clause for single-source files. The model is required for multi- as well as single-source files. Added a test after the visibilities are copied to make sure that something was copied. Moved nowhere. 16352. January 14, 2026 ALBUS Eric Corrected # adverbs. AVERSION, PROGRAM, some of STATIONS were lost. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16353. January 16, 2026 KNTR Eric Subroutine FXLEVS used by all contour tasks tried to read an extra plane of data when CBCORN=5 in KNTR. That should and did fail. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16354. January 20, 2026 VLBARUN, VLBAPIPE Eric Changed the RUN files and help files to handle OUTFILE blank more correctly. They were still trying to print messages to a directory that was not created properly. Moved to 31DEC25 this date. 16355. January 22, 2026 TEPLT, SNPLT Eric Changed TEPLT and SNPLT to offer another X axis type: time but with gaps mostly suppresed. Added DETIME to both to define what constitutes a gap. Moved nowhere. 16356. January 23, 2026 VPLOT, TEPLT, SNPLT Eric Added to VPLOT the X axis type of time with gaps. Changed VPLOT and SNPLT to have a second type with gaps where the first type does not label tick marks in the middle of gaps and the second type does. The labeling on such axes is difficult; it is better to have 2 choices. Moved nowhere. 16357. January 26, 2026 EXTLIST, PLGET, VPLOT Eric Changed AU2A (PLGET) for new number of adverbs in SNPLT and TEPLT. Changed AU8A (EXTLIST) for changes in SNPLT, TEPLT, and VPLOT. Changed VPLOT to reset BPARM(1) before plot file creation and noted that BPARM(4) and (5) do not work for the new times axes (but TIMERANG does). Moved nowhere. 16358. January 29, 2026 time adverbs Eric Looked at all usages of DETIME and created two new adverbs EXTIME and TIMLIMIT. Changed POPSDAT and NEWPARMS to create them and edited EXTIME, TIMLIMIT, DETIME and SOLINT help files for changed usages. Changed ALLDEST, AIPSC, ALBUS, CLNUP, NOBAT, PLAYR, and VLANT to use TIMLIMIT. Changed BSMAP and RLDLY to use SOLINT, DISKU to use PRTIME, and OFLAG, OTFBS and OTFUV to use EXTIME. The previous SOLINT in RLDLY is now more correctly called INTTIME. Moved nowhere. 16359. January 29, 2026 WEATHR Eric Change DETIME to EXTIME, added XAXIS with 4 values, and DETIME to be the minimum time interval to be called a "gap". Added 3 X axis plots with gaps and 3 levels of labeling the X axis tick marks. Added code to decide the number of ticks in a gap. That value increases with the number of times not counting gaps and with gap time intervals > 1 day and decrease with the number of gaps. This number if always > 1 and < 11. Moved nowhere. 16360. January 29, 2026 TEPLT, SNPLT, VPLOT Eric Added a third level of gap tick labeling to do not labels in gaps. Added code to compute the number of ticks in a gap described above. Moved nowhere. 16361.
