SunPy 1.1 Released

The SunPy project is happy to announce the release of SunPy 1.1! SunPy is an open-source Python library for Solar Physics data analysis and visualization.

This release is our first major release post-1.0 and part of our new release pattern.

The major highlights of this release are:

• The coordinates subpackage now supports four additional coordinate frames (HCI, HEE, GSE, and GEI).

• A new subpackage sunpy.data.data_manager has been added to support versioned data for functions and methods.

• Support in sunpy.map and sunpy.net for the SUVI instrument on GOES satellites.

• Initial support for WISPR data from Parker Solar Probe in sunpy.map.

• The import times for sunpy and some subpackages are significantly shorter, with no loss of functionality.

See What’s New in SunPy 1.1 for more details and the Full Changelog for the full list of over 100 changes in 1.1.
