                      - Reference Manual
                         - Updated version. 
v1.1.5  2013.06.05 - (intermediate release)
                      - kmo_sci_red
                         - Bug fix: Failed when OH_SPEC was provided 
                      - reconstruction
                         - No more spikes at the beginning and end of reconstructed spectra (with cubic spline) 
v1.1.4  2013.05.23 - (intermediate release)
                      - kmo_reconstruct, kmo_illumination, kmo_std_star, kmo_sci_red, kmo_shift,
                        kmo_rotate, kmo_combine
                         - Enhancements on flux-conservation. It is switched off as default except in
                           kmo_std_star where we can expect to have a bright object in the IFU. 
                      - kmo_reconstruct
                         - Fixed bug in OH-line matching.
                         - OH-line matching based on a reference OH-spectrum improving object-sky
                           subtraction (like in kmo_reconstruct)

                         - Enhancements on background-removal for mapping-mode. This feature is off per
                           default since it works best for maps with sparse objects in it.
                         - OH-line matching based on a reference OH-spectrum improving object-sky
                           subtraction (like in kmo_reconstruct) 
                      - kmo_reconstruct, kmo_std_star, kmo_sci_red
                         - Implemented interpolation of xcal-frames for angles in between the frames.
                           This feature is used as default. To switch it off, set the parameter
                           --xcal_interpolation=FALSE 
                      - kmo_make_image
                         - Fixed bug: couldn't collapse a SCI_COMBINED frame. 
                      - RTD
                         - Object- and sky-frame are now first subtracted and then reconstructed
                           (Speed improvement). 
                      - kmo_extract_spec, kmo_make_image, kmo_stats
                         - Fixed bug regarding gasgano: any category for the 1st input frame is accepted now. 
v1.1.3  2013.05.13 - (intermediate release)
                      - kmo_illumination
                         - added --pix_scale parameter for arbitrary pixel resolution in reconstructed cubes 
                      - kmo_reconstruct, kmo_sci_red
                         - Flux of reconstructed cubes is scaled according to pixel_scale 
                      - SPARKplug
                         - Fixed bug: Copying selected frames to lower panel should work now as well on MacOS 
                      - kmo_sci_red
                         - Fixed bug with --no_subtract: Accepts now as well sky-only frames 
                      - easySPARK-scripts
                         - Fixed bugs with ESO archive filename scheme 
v1.1.2  2013.05.08 - (intermediate release)
                      - kmo_combine
                         - Changed default behaviour: if no IFU or name is specified, all target
                           names are combined and saved (no mapping-mode as default anymore) 
                      - kmo_reconstruct
                         - OH-line matching based on a reference OH-spectrum improving object-sky subtraction
                         - added --pix_scale parameter for arbitrary pixel resolution in reconstructed cubes 
                      - kmo_sci_red
                         - added --no_combine option
                         - added --no_subtract option (implies --no_combine because otherwise IFUs
                           containing skies would be combined with ones with objects in it. With kmo_combine
                           the products can be combined individually afterwards)
                         - added --pix_scale parameter for arbitrary pixel resolution in reconstructed cubes
                         - if just a single SCIENCE frame is provided, ALL IFUs (of type R, O and S) are
                           processed 
v.1.1.1  2013.04.23 - (intermediate release)
                      - bug fix:
                         - All recipes doing reconstruction were failing when reading the 
                           calibration frames if angle=0 deg wasn't present 
                      - kmo_std_star
                         - Doesn't crash anymore when star type is defined wrongly in header
                           keywords 
                      - kmo_std_star, kmo_sci_red
                         - Processes now as well R (along with O and S) in header keyword
                           ESO OCS ARMx TYPE 
                      - kmo_combine, kmo_sci_red
                         - Added parameter --edge_nan. Sets top/bottom row to NaN, improves
                           results when dithering (like with SINFONI data). 
                      - kmo_reconstruct, kmo_sci_red
                         - First implementation of improved flux conservation (still to be improved).

                      - kmo_illumination
                         - Fixed edge effects in ILLUM_CORR. Takes now FLAT_EDGE frame as 
                           input to correlate MASTER_FLAT and FLAT_SKY frames. Additional
                           output SKYFLAT_EDGE. 
                      - kmo_reconstruct, kmo_multi_reconstruct, kmo_illumination, kmo_sci_red
                         - Emit warning if XCAL, YCAL and LCAL frames don't originate from the
                           same calibration set. 
                      -  kmo_sci_red
                         - Emit warning if the parameters b_samples, b_start and b_end aren't
                           the same for LCAL and TELLURIC frames.
v1.0.9  2013.03.13 - intermediate release for USM
                      - kmo_illumination
                          - Ignores now the first exposure of the KMOS_spec_cal_skyflat
                            template which is just for acquisition. With the parameter
                            --add-all it can be forced to be included.
                          - Added band-specific spectral ranges used to collapse the
                            cubes in order to create the skies. 
                      - kmo_std_star
                          - accepts lower case star types
                          - corrected WCS in headers of products
                          - QC THRUPUT and QC ZPOINT are now calculated on the whole area
                            of the IFU and not only on the masked area
                          - QC STD TRACE are now calculated based on the difference of two
                            specified spectral ranges. Before, the whole spectrum was taken
                            into account resulting in inadequate results.
                          - Fixed WCS in product headers as well as EXTNAME keyword which
                            caused errors when processing the products in the next steps 
                      - easySPARK
                          - Fixed bugs in easySPARK_illumination.sh and easySPARK_std_star.sh
                          - Added easySPARK_sci_red.sh 
                      - kmo_sci_red
                          - Increased verbosity on displayed shift parameters
                          - For mapping-mode added --fast-mode parameter for a quick preview
                            based on collapsed cubes
                          - Added telluric tweaking for 3stdstar-template and if 24-template
                            isn't complete 
                      - kmo_combine
                          - Increased verbosity on displayed shift parameters 
                      - kmo_fits_strip
                          - When used with --angle parameter and with calibration files the
                            NAANGLE keywords are now handled correctly
                          - Added parameter --empty to remove empty extensions 
v1.0.8  2013.02.20 - Intermediate release for software developers at USM
                      - kmo_wave_cal'

                         - fixed memory leaks 
                      - Added "file_extension" parameter
                         - If set, the filenames of the products can be
                           altered. The behaviour for the recipes differs:
                            - kmo_arithmetic: provide an arbitrary string to append
                            - kmo_dark: set to TRUE or FALSE to append EXPTIME keyword
                            - kmo_reconstruct: set to TRUE or FALSE to append OBS_ID keyword 
                      - kmo_flat
                         - optimised memory usage, needs now less RAM, a bit
                           slower due to disk I/O
