v1.2.0

Dear gGui users and colleagues,

I am excited to announce the release of gGui v1.2!

gGui is a data-analysis package written atop the Glue Visualization Python library to visualize data from the GALEX Space Telescope's photon event archive, gPhoton.

I will be presenting gGui at the 235th American Astronomical Society conference in Honolulu, Hawai'i! We would love to chat with our users about anything gGui! Please visit us at Poster Session 109 (poster 14) on 2020 January 5th at 9:00AM HST! https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/8993/presentation/3143

Notable changes
Version 1.2.0 includes improvements to many features of gGui:

1. The ggui_target_catalog is now cross-platform! gGui will automatically convert specified paths written on any OS into your native OS environment. This allows users to read target catalogs written by collaborators on a different OS, without any changes necessary to the gGui target catalog itself.

2. A quick demo mode has been introduced to gGui. To quickly download sample data we've prepared on our GitHub page, simply select "Load gGui Sample Data" under the "gGui Help" menu.

3. Plot options will automatically change as you click on a data product. This change deprecates the focus tool.

4. The gGui Target Manager now has configurable keyboard shortcuts! By default, the left and right arrows will advance targets for you! Users can configure these keyboard shortcuts in the :ref:ggui_config

5. gGui now supports high DPI desktops.

gGui is hosted on PyPI. To update gGui, simply invoke pip: pip install ggui --upgrade

Please report any bugs and feature requests to our GitHub page: https://github.com/gphoton-tools/ggui/issues

As always, thank you for supporting gGui!

v1.1.0

Dear gGui users and colleagues,

I am excited to announce the release of gGui v1.1!
gGui is a data-analysis package written atop the Glue Visualization Python library to visualize data from the GALEX Space Telescope data reduction pipeline, gPhoton.

Notable changes
Version 1.1.0 introduces the gGui Notepad and general improvements to the Target Manager, as well as the startup process.

1. The gGui Notepad is a collaborative space for researchers to write notes about a particular target; these notes are stored in the gGui Target Catalog, allowing the sharing of notes between collaborators.
2. The gGui startup procedure has been enhanced. For more information, see Launching gGui.
   • Users may now also load a new gGui Target Catalog at runtime by selecting “File” > “Load gGui Target Catalog”
   • The --target_list command line argument now supports multiple gGui Target Catalogs, space separated
3. The gGui Target Manager has received a number of improvements:
   • Targets with the same name across multiple targets can be loaded and appropriately distinguished
   • Added an information button to display the current target’s gGui Target Catalog, from which it originated

Version 1.1.0 also resolves the bug of consecutive targets with differing data products. Targets with differing data products will now render correctly.

gGui is hosted on PyPI. To update gGui, simply invoke pip: pip install ggui --upgrade

Please report any bugs and feature requests to our GitHub page: https://github.com/gphoton-tools/ggui/issues

As always, thank you for supporting gGui!

v1.0.2

Version 1.0 of gGui represents a large overhaul of the project, and the first release of the project. It currently implements a Target Manager and Overview Tab for simultaneous lightcurve, coadd, and cube viewing.
