Gnuastro 0.22 released
Dear all,
I am happy to share the 22nd stable release of GNU Astronomy Utilities (Gnuastro).
There have been 97 commits by 7 people in the 15 weeks since 0.21, see [1] below for the full list. For all the new features, as well as changes and bug fixes, see the NEWS file entry for this version; shown in [2] below.
If you are using Gnuastro in your projects, take a few minutes to read [2] below.
Gnuastro is an official GNU package, consisting of various command-line programs, C/C++ library functions and Makefile extensions for the manipulation and analysis of (astronomical) data. All the programs share the same basic command-line user interface (modeled on GNU Coreutils). For the Gnuastro web page, hands-on tutorials (recommended place to start using Gnuastro), list of Gnuastro's library and its programs, please see the links below respectively:

Here is the compressed source and the GPG detached signature for this release. To uncompress Lzip tarballs, see [3]. To check the validity of the tarballs using the GPG detached signature (*.sig) see [4]. See [5] for the list of software used to bootstrap this tarball.

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums (other ways to check if the tarball you download is what we distributed). Just note that the SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to (see [6] on how to generate it).
