[ANN] ASDF.jl 2.0 release

Package Announcements
,
1

We are pleased to announce ASDF.jl 2.0, the follow-up to the New package ASDF.jl announcement from 2018. This current iteration includes the following broad changes:

  1. Now part of the JuliaAstro organization
  2. Re-implemented in pure Julia (pre-2.0 was a Python wrapper)
  3. Wider support for the latest ASDF Standard (1.6.0)

We hope that this package will be a useful file I/O tool, especially for current and future ground and space-based missions (e.g., DKIST, JWST, Roman).

Thank you to the ASDF community and core maintainers for providing our team with invaluable feedback and test files, and thank you to @schnetter for creating and sharing the core implementation used in this package.

Please see our documentation for more. Now that basic functionality is in place, we have more features planned here. Feedback welcome!

– The JuliaAstro Team

Congrats on the package release! So cool that you are bringing Julia to astrophysics! I love the image in the README :slight_smile:

Thanks, Fons! We’ve slowly been trying to collect some of the astro research that folks have been doing in the community, and hope to have more updates soon.

The PlutoPages.jl package from you and your team has been super helpful as we start to put the bones together on our (very WIP) tutorial page too!
