This release consists of 772 commits from 21 people including 9 new contributors, including the ability to co-align map cubes via template matching in scikit image, massive improvements to Map.rotate() including an implementation of an aiaprep calibration routine for SDO/AIA data and the ability to calculate GOES temperature and emission measure from GOES fluxes.</p> <p>Special mentions to Daniel Ryan and Andrew Leonard who have both contributed their first major features to SunPy for this release. They contributed the GOES temperature and aiaprep code respectively.</p> <p>New Features:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li><p>map.rotate() improvements and the addition of a aiaprep routine.</p></li> <li><p>GOES temperature and emission measure calculation.</p></li> <li><p>Added functions that implement image coalignment with support for MapCubes.</p></li> <li><p>MapCube._maps changed to MapCube.maps.</p></li> <li><p>Added Nobeyama Radioheliograph data support to Lightcurve object.</p></li> <li><p>Added support for NOAA solar cycle prediction in lightcurves.</p></li> <li><p>Improved line quality and performances issues with map.draw_grid().</p></li> <li><p>Most tests should pass on windows and on installed versions of SunPy.</p></li> <li><p>Added a window/split method to time range.</p></li> <li><p>Updates to spectrogram documentation.</p></li> <li><p>Added method Database.add_from_hek_query_result to HEK database.</p></li> <li><p>Added method Database.download_from_vso_query_result.</p></li> <li><p>GOES Lightcurve now makes use of a new source of GOES data, provides metadata, and data back to 1981.</p></li> <li><p>Fix algorithm in sunpy.sun.equation_of_center.</p></li> <li><p>Added contains functionality to TimeRange module</p></li> <li><p>Added t=’now’ to parse_time to provide utcnow datetime.</p></li> <li><p>Fixed time dependent functions (.sun) to default to t=’now’</p></li> <li><p>Fixed solar_semidiameter_angular_size</p></li> <li><p>Removed sqlalchemy as a requirement for SunPy</p></li> <li><p>Some basic tests for GenericLightCurve on types of expected input.</p></li> <li><p>Added Docstrings to LightCurve methods.</p></li> <li><p>Added tests for classes in sunpy.map.sources.</p></li> <li><p>Cleaned up the sunpy namespace, removed .units, /ssw and .sphinx. Also moved .coords .physics.transforms.</p></li> </ul> <p>The people who have contributed to this release are:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li><p>Stuart Mumford</p></li> <li><p>Daniel Ryan *</p></li> <li><p>Andrew Leonard</p></li> <li><p>Steven Christe</p></li> <li><p>Pritish Chakraborty</p></li> <li><p>Jack Ireland</p></li> <li><p>David Pérez-Suárez</p></li> <li><p>Andrew Inglis</p></li> <li><p>Michael Mueller *</p></li> <li><p>Rishabh Sharma *</p></li> <li><p>Albert Y.
