30 August 2011 The version number written in the PSM outputs is 1_7_0, instead of 1_7_0-beta as it should. The next release will be 1_7_1 to avoid any ambiguity.
30 August 2011 Bug in tool psm_alm2map.pro, ORDERING keyword not properly written in header when output is in NESTED format. Replace the "psm_alm2map.pro" file in "Soft/tools/sht/".
Note: this is necessary only if you use the PSM toolbox independently of PSM runs (the PSM currently only writes HEALPix maps in RING format).
psm_alm2map.pro v1.37
01 September 2011 The parameters for the generation of small scale fluctuations in galactic components have to be revised. Use v1_7_1.
02 September 2011 The PSM run fails during the generation of the FIRB component if the !PSMROOT directory name does not end with the / (slash) separator. This is fixed in next releases. For v1_0_7-beta, just make sure the !PSMROOT directory name does end with the slash separator.
28 September 2011 The PSM run fails if the parameter 'OBS_TASK' is not set in the configuration file (no valid default value). Always define 'OBS_TASK' ('new', 'update' or 'none').
29 September 2011 There is a memory leak in band integration, that causes the PSM eventually to fill the available memory for large scale simulations. Replace the "sky_in_bands.pro" file in "Soft/observation/skyobs/". sky_in_bands.pro v1.26
12 October 2011 Small scale galactic emission is wrong for nside=2048. Replace the "add_smallscale.pro" and "file2ptr.pro" files in "Soft/skymodel/galaxy/", and the "gal_sys_var_init.pro" file in "Soft/skymodel/galaxy/general/". add_smallscale.pro v1.7 file2ptr.pro v1.8 gal_sys_var_init.pro v1.19
08 May 2012 Bug in WMAP sources (excessive flux due to units error for sources not detected in K band) Replace the "psm_wmap_sources.pro" file in "Soft/skymodel/ps/". psm_wmap_sources.pro v1.16
