DRS 3.5

• Order extraction completely rewritten
• Bug on extraction profile corrected
• Use of measured extraction profile (FF frame) instead of analytic profile
• Horne cosmic rejection improved
• Implementation of new extraction mode with correction of ThAr pollution
• Order localization simplified
• Bug on flat-field (low-sensitivity pixels) corrected
• Quality control on flat-field more sensitive (rejection of frames with wiggles)
• Blaze computation rewritten
• Correction of blaze for FF source spectrum (requires wavelength calibration)
• Implementation of background light subtraction
• Coarse cosmic rejection (4-bin distribution) improved
• Rebinning on uniform wavelength grid rewritten (s1d creation)
• Quality control on drift measurement more sensitive (THAR2/shutter problems)
• Bug on mid-exposure time corrected (saturation of exposure meter)
• Computation of activity indices S and log(R'HK) available offline, new keywords
• Relative flux correction more robust
• Better telluric line removal in masks G2, K5 and M2
• Bug on CCF noise at low SNR corrected (absolute value in correlbin)
• More instrumental keywords added in db_update
• Rejection of order 0 in CCF computation (order partially extracted)
• Blaze correction in CCF computation implemented
• Comb/FP recipes added
• Polarimeter recipes added
