<h1>Astropy v0.4 Released!</h1>
<p>
Dear colleagues,
</p>
<p>
We are very happy to announce the third major public release (v0.4) of the astropy package, a core Python package for Astronomy:
</p>
<p align='center'>
<a href="http://www.astropy.org">http://www.astropy.org</a>
</p>
<p>
Astropy is a community-driven package intended to contain much of the core functionality and common tools needed for performing astronomy and astrophysics with Python.
</p>
<p>
New and improved major functionality in this release includes:
<ul>
<li> A new astropy.vo.samp sub-package adapted from the previously standalone SAMPy package
<li> A re-designed astropy.coordinates sub-package for celestial coordinates
<li> A new ‘fitsheader’ command-line tool that can be used to quickly inspect FITS headers
<li> A new HTML table reader/writer
<li> Improved performance for Quantity objects
<li> A re-designed configuration framework
</ul>
</p>
<p>
In addition, hundreds of smaller improvements and fixes have been made. An overview of the changes is provided at:
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/0.4.html">http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/0.4.html</a>
</p>
<p>
Instructions for installing Astropy are provided on our <a href="http://www.astropy.org">website</a>, and extensive documentation can be found at:
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://docs.astropy.org">http://docs.astropy.org</a>
</p>
<p>
In particular, if you use Anaconda, you can update to v0.4 with:
</p>
<pre>
conda update astropy
</pre>
<p>

If you use Astropy directly - or as a dependency to another package - for your work, please remember to include the following acknowledgment at the end of papers:
</p>
<p class="citation"><cite>This research made use of Astropy, a community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration, 2013).</cite></p>
<p>where <cite>(Astropy Collaboration, 2013)</cite> is a citation to the <a href="https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201322068" target="_blank">Astropy Paper</a> (<a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013A%26A...558A..33A" target="_blank">ADS</a> -
<a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2013A%26A...558A..33A&data_type=BIBTEX&db_key=AST&nocookieset=1" target="_blank">BibTeX</a>).</p>
<p>
Please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone you think might be interested in this release.
</p>
<p>
We hope that you enjoy using Astropy as much as we enjoyed developing it!
