Hello chandra-users,

The CIAO team is pleased to announce the 25 February 2011 release of the
CIAO contributed science tarfile. The new tarfile may be download via
ciao-install (http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/) or from the CIAO
Contributed Scripts Page (http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/scripts/).

The changes in this release are:

o) chandra_repro
    http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/ahelp/chandra_repro.html

    Support has been added for ACIS and HRC grating data.

o) specextract
    http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/ahelp/specextract.html

    * the asp parameter can now take the aspect solution file directly.
An aspect histogram (created by asphist) may still be used, if desired.
    * the mask file is applied when making unweighted ARFs (mkarf).
    * if the bad pixel file is supplied in the badpixfile parameter, the
ardlib parameters are set by the script.
    * if the input file is missing a CTI_APP keyword, the script
attempts to add it
    * the binwmap parameter default has been changed from det=8 to tdet=8

o) combine_spectra
    http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/ahelp/combine_spectra.html

    Fixed a bug where lists of input spectra containing duplicate
filenames were not being correctly combined, e.g. a list of source
spectra all having the same name, located in different directories.

o) ciao_contrib.runtool

    updated to better support the ardlib parameter file

o) sherpa_contrib.profiles

    updated to support the use of model expressions created using the
set_full_model command.
