Store the name of the individual lines in the database in order so they can easily be identified and retrieved.

Fν was computed by calculating Fλ and then converting to Fν, which led to typical differences in fluxes of typically 1-2% and a bit more for a handful of pathological filters. Now Fν is computed directly and a bit faster. At the same time rather than computing an effective wavelength (which was more a mean wavelength), we compute the pivot wavelength, which is more appropriate when converting between Fν and Fλ.

Do not store anymore the filter type as all the filters are now assumed to be in units of energy. The conversion from photon to energy is carried out by the import procedure as needed.

Speedup the construction of the database. One of the issues is that models where inserted and committed one by one, which is very slow with SQLite. Now we rather insert all the models at once (for instance all the DL07 models) and commit only when this is done. Even on an SSD, the total run time of python setup.py build goes from 5m20s to 2m42s. The speedup should be even more spectacular on a rotating hard drive.

First implementation of a script to list, add, remove, and plot the filters in the pcigale database. One or more filters can be added, removed, or plotted in one command.

Implement the nebular continuum emission. This has required some refactoring to have some homogeneous naming.

Make the source code more compatible with Python 3. As far as I understand the documentation, this should be harmless for Python 2.

Create two custom exceptions.

When one tries to insert something in the database that is already
inside, a DatabaseInserError is raised.

When one asks for something in the database that is not present, a
DatabaseLookupError is raised indicating what was not found.

Remove the author email addresses from the source files and add a AUTHORS.rst
file with the addresses and current affiliation to make it easier to update
the information.

Also, give copyright to the University of Cambridge and the University of
Crete for code developed by authors working there.

Class name should be CamelCased, arguments and variable inside functions
should be lower case.

There's no need to put my name in authors when I did not do anything.

Use the new post-fixed key names for contributions.

PEP8-fication of the code and correction of various typos and spelling
mistakes.

Add the necessary structures and methods to add and retrieve them from the
database.

Thanks to Médéric Boquien.
