• fixed the memory leak in the Primack05 EBL attenuation model (celestialSources/eblAtten v0r5)
• Wiki Markupfixed the 214 microsec sampling issue in SpectralTransient for the big run sky model (celestialSources/genericSources v1r9p5) \ [see comments on [Nicola's posting on a test of the Big Run sky model|DC2:/2007/12/19/Test2a - gtobssim 1 Month Update]; other artifacts from the limited precision of the random number generator can be found - e.g., the minimum non-zero time between photons in the diffuse model turns out to be 2 ^^-25^ ²⁵ seconds, for what it is worth.]
• Wiki Markupdisabled gtorbsim build (observationSim v7r2p1) \ [The interface to the flux package changed with Toby's rewrite - specifically how faint sources get disabled - and this broke *gtorbsim*. It probably could be reworked to work again but *gttakosim* is still our future.]

James has imported APE to replace PIL in the hoops package. It is in the LATEST builds of the Science Tools. Jim has reported a couple of bugs to James; one of them relates to why the unit test in the sane package has started failing.

Source Catalog

Met this week and covered a number of interesting topics. Jean gave an update on the comparison of the source detection algorithms, incorporating results from an improved PGwave algorithm. He also discussed his investigation of sources that the source detection algorithms find but the catalog pipeline discarded - evidence that another iteration step is needed in the catalog analysis. Toby gave a detailed update on what is new with pointfind and on development directions in the near future. He is also starting to generate the true source list from the sky model for the Big Run. This is a thankless task - so thank him.
