Stcal

==================

- non-code updates to testing and development infrastructure

==================

- re-release to publish source distribution

==================

Other
-----

- Added ``alignment`` sub-package. [179]

- Enable automatic linting and code style checks [187]

ramp_fitting
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Refactor Casertano, et.al, 2022 uneven ramp fitting and incorporate the matching
jump detection algorithm into it. [215]

- Fix memory issue with Cas22 uneven ramp fitting [226]

- Fix some bugs in the jump detection algorithm within the Cas22 ramp fitting [227]

- Moving some CI tests from JWST to STCAL. [228, spacetelescope/jwst6080]

- Significantly improve the performance of the Cas22 uneven ramp fitting algorithm. [229]

-

==================

Other
-----

- small hotfix for Numpy 2.0 deprecations [211]

==================

Changes to API
--------------

saturation
~~~~~~~~~~

- Added read_pattern argument to flag_saturated_pixels. When used,
this argument adjusts the saturation group-by-group to handle
different numbers of frames entering different groups for Roman.
When not set, the original behavior is preserved. [188]

Bug Fixes
---------

- Fixed failures with Numpy 2.0. [210, 211]

Other
-----

jump
~~~~

- enable the detection of snowballs that occur in frames that are
within a group. [207]

- Added more allowable selections for the number of cores to use for
multiprocessing [183]

- Fixed the computation of the number of rows per slice for multiprocessing,
which caused different results when running the step with multiprocess [239]

ramp_fitting
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Added more allowable selections for the number of cores to use for
multiprocessing [183]

- Updating variance computation for invalid integrations, as well as
updating the median rate computation by excluding groups marked as
DO_NOT_USE. [208]

- Implement the Casertano, et.al, 2022 uneven ramp fitting [175]

==================

Bug Fixes
---------

jump
~~~~

- Added setting of number_extended_events for non-multiprocessing
mode. This is the value that is put into the header keyword EXTNCRS. [178]
