Eliminate the unphysical wavy structure of the nebular continuum in the mid-infrared by pre-interpolating it on a refined wavelength grid in log-log space.

Improve the sanitation of input data so that upper limits of extensive properties are not eliminated from the quantities to be fitted when upper limits are activated

Allow to save the χ² only related to fluxes or to properties rather than an all or nothing approach.

Make sure that all the cores are occupied for the entire duration of the computation of the Bayesian and best-fit estimates. We do that with a chunksize of 1. This is not beneficial for the computation of the models as it would induce a large number of costly context switches and it would affect negatively the model cache as blocks would not be attributed consecutively to a process.

Various optimisations have been made regarding shared arrays to make their access faster. The overall effect is a speedup of 3-4% for the computation of the models.

Implementation of the auto-detection of lines in the input flux file so they are automatically added to the list of bands in pcigale.ini

The time spent computing is now displayed in hours, minutes, and seconds rather than just seconds to improve legibility

The computation of all the cosmology-dependent quantities has been consolidated in pcigale/utils/cosmology.py and optimised. This leads to a slightly faster startup, in particular when there are many objects to fit, and it makes it easier to change the cosmology.

Speedup the computation of the weighted means and standard deviation by normalising the likelihhod, simplifying the computation

Maximise the CPU cache hit rate with computing the χ² by storing contiguously all the models at a given redshift.

Implement the possibility of specifying a list of bands for which to carry out a Bayesian flux estimate.

Ensure that best models are properly computed when models are computed by blocks and that no fit could be made in one or more blocks.

Some lines have been made slightly thicker in SED plots so the different components are more visible

The lines linking the different bands in the residual SED plot have been eliminated to improve the readability

The uncertainties on the SED plots now correspond only to 1σ rather than 3σ so they do not appear exceedingly large

Change the location of the logo so that it does not overlap with anything and replace it with a less pixelated version
