New Features ^^^^^^^^^^^^

• photutils.aperture

  • The to_sky and to_pixel methods for all pixel and sky aperture types now use the local WCS Jacobian to accurately compute pixel scale factors and rotation angles. This correctly handles WCS with distortions (e.g., SIP polynomial corrections) and non-square pixels. #2240

• photutils.background

  • Added a to_aperture method to LocalBackground. #2118

• photutils.centroids

• photutils.detection

  • Added a public StarFinderCatalogBase class that provides a common base for the catalogs in the DAOStarFinder, IRAFStarFinder, and StarFinder classes. [#2149, #2201]

  • Added __repr__ and __str__ methods to DAOStarFinder, IRAFStarFinder, and StarFinder. #2201
