Gnuastro 0.17 released

Filed under
GNU
Sci/Tech
Dear all,

I am happy to announce the 17th official release of GNU Astronomy
Utilities (Gnuastro).

As you see in [1] below, many useful new features have been added,
and many bugs have been found and fixed. Thanks to 8 people who
directly committed into Gnuastro's source (4 women and 4 men), and
20 people providing ideas that have been impleted (see below for
the names). This is a new record in Gnuastro! Thanks for helping
make Gnuastro better with your great contributions and feedback :-).

Here is the compressed source and the GPG detached signature for
this release. To uncompress Lzip tarballs, see [2]. To check the
validity of the tarballs using the GPG detached signature (*.sig)
see [3]:

  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuastro/gnuastro-0.17.tar.lz     (3.8MB)
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuastro/gnuastro-0.17.tar.lz.sig  (833B)
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuastro/gnuastro-0.17.tar.gz     (6.0MB)
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuastro/gnuastro-0.17.tar.gz.sig  (833B)

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.

I am very grateful to (in alphabetical order) Pedram Ashofteh
Ardakani, Sepideh Eskandarlou, Zahra Hosseini Shahisavandi, Raul
Infante-Sainz, Sachin Kumar Singh, Elham Saremi and Nafise Sedighi for
their direct contribution to the source of Gnuastro. Also, Sergio
Chueca Urzay, Tamara Civera Lorenzo, Andres Del Pino Molina, Alexey
Dokuchaev, Alessandro Ederoclite, Sepideh Eskandarlou, Juan Antonio
Fernández Ontiveros, Zohreh Ghaffari, Giulia Golini, Martin Guerrero

Sebastian Luna-Valero, Samane Raji, Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo, Manuel
Sánchez-Benavente, Peter Teuben, Jesús Varela and Aaron Watkins
provided many good suggestions and helped in finding many bugs in the
code, tutorials and documentation.

If any of Gnuastro's programs or libraries are useful in your work,
please cite _and_ acknowledge them. For citation and acknowledgment
guidelines, run the relevant programs with a `--cite' option (it can
be different for different programs, so run it for all the programs
you use). Citations _and_ acknowledgments are vital for the continued
work on Gnuastro, so please don't forget to support us by doing so.

This tarball was bootstrapped (created) with the tools below. Note
that you don't need these to build Gnuastro from the tarball, these
are the tools that were used to make the tarball itself. They are only
mentioned here to be able to reproduce/recreate this tarball later.
  Texinfo 6.8
  Autoconf 2.71
  Automake 1.16.4
  Help2man 1.49.1
  ImageMagick 7.1.0-27
  Gnulib v0.1-5187-g2ca890b564
  Autoconf archives v2022.02.11-1-g203f15b

The dependencies to build Gnuastro from this tarball on your system
are described here:

Best wishes,
Mohammad

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
