Yesterday, I found (and fixed) an at least 37 years old bug in #IRAF CL. It appeared already in the first IRAF version where we have source code (2.8). If you have an older version, please let me know! #SoftwareArcheology

To make installation easier for Apple users, I just uploaded a beta version of the new #IRAF macOS installer! Feedback is welcome! Try it out from here iraf-community.github.io/install.html...

Preview of what is coming new in (Community) IRAF. for macOS ... I'd need brave testers.

It seems that the release is significantly delayed: The web page now suggests July 1 2024 as release date. This should give us some time to discuss a common path for IRAF in the future. If @usngo.bsky.social would have interest (from my experience so far, I doubt that). iraf.noirlab.edu

The IRAF poster shown at ADASS 2023 invites to test and give feedback, so I wrote to the author to establish a contact between @usngo.bsky.social and the IRAF community. However, no communication, no test offer so far. Working together would be essential for the future of IRAF.
