Software Release Note for core version 17.0

Dependencies

Fixed SPRs:

PHS:

SPR 1260

Proposals exported in PGT's XML format will come with the data rights included.

OSS:

SPR 1320

OMC field of view graphics error corrected, text is now within the demarcation.

Implemented SCRs:

PHS:

	SCR 1232	The subscription print and PDF include an automatic evalutation of the sources' exposure time according to PQT. The results are two fold: an association to a proposal that does not expose any of the sources is marked LOW and each source not exposed by any of the assocations is marked LOW. The threshold for low exposure time is the usual 100 ks.
	SCR 1235	Upon rejecting all sources of a subscription, all associations are automatically rejected as well.
	SCR 1309	Email templates for approval and rejection updated.

OSS:

	SCR 1321	All ESA memeber states have a flag now.
	SCR 1311	In revolutions past, the perigee attitude has been optimized to keep the SPI cooling system out of the earth's albedo. OSS and starmap have been extended to visualize the angle between earth and the spacecraft's minus Z axis. When choosing the perigee attitude in OSS's control tab, the Earth:-Z angle is displayed. When viewing a Sky Map, the context menu provides a tool to query the angle for any RA and Dec, just click on the map. When activating this tool, the sky bins in which the angle is larger than 100 degrees are marked in a shade of green (darker meaning higher angle).
	SCR 1313	After selecting the observation in a revolution on the OSS selection tab, you can click any pair of observations to verify the slew distance between them and so optimize the order of observations.
	SCR 1322	OSS control tab already displayed whether the revolution being scheduled was in eclipse season or not. The information has been extended, giving you the start of the upcoming season when not eclipsed and the end of the current season if eclipsed.

Other changes/comments:

• All starmap SkyMap displays give you access to some resolution enchancing tools in the context menu. You have the Bin Splitter: a tool that splits the bin you click into 4 smaller bins with the visibility contraints recalculated. If you are not in a hurry, you have the Sharpen sky bins tool: this goes over all constrained bins in the map and splitting each in four smaller ones which takes 10 seconds or more to complete.
