New Features

• Added support for querying data from solarnet API using a new ~sunpy.net.solarnet.SOLARNETClient. (#7880)
• Added sunpy.net.fido_factory.UnifiedResponse.show_in_notebook to render ~sunpy.net.Fido search results and ~sunpy.net.attr.AttrMeta.show_in_notebook on all attrs to render attrs tables in form of interactive table using itables in Jupyter notebooks. (#7899)
• Added a helper function (sunpy.coordinates.utils.get_heliocentric_angle) to get the heliocentric angle of a coordinate on the solar disk, which can be used to compute μ for limb-darkening calculations. (#7979)
• Enhanced sunpy.net.Fido's search method to be robust against client errors. Any client error will be caught and attached to .errors property on both the ~sunpy.net.fido_factory.UnifiedResponse and individual ~sunpy.net.base_client.QueryResponseTable, the search will continue. (#8009)
• A ~sunpy.util.SunpyUserWarning will be raised when sunpy.image.resample is used with method='spline' and a data array containing nans and/or infinities. (#8185)
• Added support for ANA to compile and work on Windows. (#8372)
• Add a keyword argument to ~sunpy.map.GenericMap.reproject_to to preserve the original observation time (typically the DATE-OBS header key) instead of the observation time in the target WCS. (#8382)
• Added Python 3.14 support with wheel builds for all supported platforms. (#8391)
• Added a new map source for ASO-S mission, currently added ~sunpy.map.sources.HXIMap for the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) payload. (#8398)
• Pass sleep, timeout, and retries_notfound from ~sunpy.net.jsoc.JSOCClient.fetch to drms.ExportRequest.wait. Previously, sleep was a keyword to ~sunpy.net.jsoc.JSOCClient.fetch but was not being propagated correctly. (#8409)
• Modified the approach of coordinate transformations between Earth-centered frames in order to avoid internal origin shifts, which could degrade numerical accuracy of coordinates close to Earth center. (#8415)
• Modified the approach of coordinate transformations between Earth-centered frames in order to minimize the unintended triggering of a correction for stellar aberration (due to Earth motion). (#8415)
• sunpy.time.parse_time now supports two new formats:
  • "%Y-%m-%dT%H%M%SZ" - Example: 2010-08-30T111402Z
  • "%Y-%m-%dT%H%M%S" - Example: 2010-08-30T111402 (#8419)

Bug Fixes

• ~sunpy.data.data_manager.cache.Cache will no longer delete a stale file if the download fails, it will now return the "stale" file. (#7935)
• Fixed a bug where the time format 2001-02-03T04:05:06Z was being parsed through different code than 2001-02-03T04:05:06 or 2001-02-03T04:05:06.0Z. (#8265)
• Fixed a bug where sunpy.util.system_info would report sunpy as an optional dependency of itself instead of properly reporting all of the optional dependencies. (#8294)
• Fixed sunpy.util.system_info so that the version reported for a development installation of sunpy itself or of a dependency is accurate. (#8297)
• Fix inconsistent behaviour between local and remote (http/ftp) ~`sunpy.net.scraper.Scraper` searches. Local searches will no longer crash if an expected directory does not exist during search. (#8316)
• Fixed a bug where the ~sunpy.net.jsoc.attrs.Cutout class for requesting JSOC cutouts did not require the supplied coordinate to be in the ~sunpy.coordinates.Helioprojective coordinate frame. (#8346)
• For the ~sunpy.net.jsoc.attrs.Cutout class for requesting JSOC cutouts, added protection to require the center of the cutout to be on the solar disk when tracking is enabled, due to confusing output from JSOC. (#8346)
• Fix GONGMagnetogramMap for headers which have standard DATE-OBS keys vs ones which have split DATE-OBS & TIME-OBS. (#8347)
• Fixed a bug where ~sunpy.time.parse_time failed to parse time strings stored in an astropy.table.Column or a pandas.Series using the normal wide range of supported time-string formats. (#8356)
• Fixed a bug where ~sunpy.time.parse_time could not accept pandas.Index input. (#8356)
• Fix ~sunpy.net.dataretriever.ADAPTClient returning no results for ADAPT maps after October 2024. The filename convention was changed on the NSO server. (#8388)
• Fix unintended dependency of net module on map module due to ~sunpy.net.jsoc.attrs.Cutout. (#8442)
• Fixed a bug with HMI and MDI magnetic-field maps where the data array would always be read during map instantiation. (#8447)

Documentation

• Added a gallery example (sphx_glr_generated_gallery_plotting_time_distance.py) demonstrating how to extract the intensities along a slit to create a time-distance plot taking into account differential rotation. (#8057)
• The source-code links now go to the GitHub repository instead of rendered versions of the source code. (#8179)
• Fixed errors and added elaborations to the docstring for ~sunpy.coordinates.Helioprojective. (#8293)
• Added an example (sphx_glr_generated_gallery_plotting_adding_earth.py) showing how to add an Earth scale image to a Map plot. (#8322)

Full Changelog: v7.0.1...v7.0.2

7.0.1 (2025-07-31)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the time format 2001-02-03T04:05:06Z was being parsed through different code than 2001-02-03T04:05:06 or 2001-02-03T04:05:06.0Z. (#8265)
• Fixed a bug where sunpy.util.system_info would report sunpy as an optional dependency of itself instead of properly reporting all of the optional dependencies. (#8294)
• Fixed sunpy.util.system_info so that the version reported for a development installation of sunpy itself or of a dependency is accurate. (#8297)

Documentation

• Fixed errors and added elaborations to the docstring for ~sunpy.coordinates.Helioprojective. (#8293)

Breaking Changes

• The ~sunpy.net.hek.HEKClient now merges
  columns event_coord1, event_coord2 and event_coord3 into a new
  column called event_coord that returns a
  astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord object.
  event_coord1, event_coord2 and event_coord3 are all dropped as
  columns from the table. Columns which correspond to only units are
  also dropped. If you need these columns, the unparsed HEK results can
  be accessed via the .raw attribute on the HEK result.
  (#7619)
• The types of many columns in the results table returned by the
  HEKClient have been changed. Columns which correspond to quantities
  with units are now returned as
  ~astropy.units.Quantity objects rather
  than arrays. Columns which correspond to times are now returned as
  ~astropy.time.Time objects rather than
  strings. Columns which correspond to coordinates are now returned as
  ~astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord objects
  rather than arrays or chain code strings. If you need these columns in
  their original format, the raw output from the HEK can be accessed via
  the .raw attribute on
  ~sunpy.net.hek.HEKTable.
  (#7619)

Deprecations

• Renamed the mesh-based autoalignment option for the
  ~sunpy.map.Map method
  ~sunpy.map.GenericMap.plot from autoalign='pcolormesh' to
  autoalign='mesh'.
  (#8036)
• Deprecated sunpy.util.net.download_file
  and sunpy.util.net.download_fileobj.
  Internally sunpy now uses parfive.
  (#8106)

Removals

• Removed the decorator sunpy.util.deprecate_positional_args_since()
  due to lack of continued use.
  (#8165)

New Features

• Added a FIDO client for retrieving AIA "synoptic" data from the JSOC.
  This dataset is not synoptic like HMI and MDI Synoptic images which
  are images of the solar surface reconstructed from many observations
  over a solar rotation but rather a synopsis of AIA data. The AIA
  synoptic data are calibrated Level 1.5 images with reduced 1k x 1k
  resolution at regular 2-minute cadence.
  (#7842)
• Added "SUITMap" with a custom color scheme for 11 filters of the SUIT
  instrument. For more information about the payload, visit
  suit.iucaa.in.
  (#7971)
• Add a GONG Magnetogram Map source.
  (#8007)
• Added a new autoalignment option for the
  ~sunpy.map.Map method
  ~sunpy.map.GenericMap.plot of directly plotting a warped image by
  specifying autoalign='image'. This autoalignment option is faster
  than the existing option (autoalign='mesh'), but does not fully work
  in all situations. (#8036)
• The ~sunpy.map.Map method
  ~sunpy.map.GenericMap.reproject_to now has the capability to
  automatically determine the extent of the output map by setting the
  keyword auto_extent, thus avoiding "clipping" any of the original
  data. The best choice for the how the extent is determined depends on
  the data being reprojected.
  (#8040)
• Added support for conservative mask propagation in
  sunpy.map.GenericMap.superpixel by introducing a new
  conservative_mask keyword argument, which defaults to False. When
  conservative_mask=True, the superpixel is masked if any of its
  constituent pixels are masked.
  (#8041)
• Adds caching mechanism for Timeseries URL handling using
  ~sunpy.data.data_manager.cache.Cache.
  (#8045)
• Added support for PUNCH data within
  sunpy.map.Map.
  (#8133)
• Autoalign plotting for ~sunpy.map.Map
  is now significantly faster, especially for interactive plots.
  (#8161)
• Added direct support for EIT L1 data within
  sunpy.map.Map.
  (#8177)
• The ~sunpy.map.Map method
  ~sunpy.map.GenericMap.plot now performs autoalignment by default
  (autoalign=True) and furthermore automatically determines which
  autoalignment approach -- mesh-based or image-based -- to use for the
  situation. (#8187)

Bug Fixes

• Allow ~sunpy.map.sources.HMIMap to have
  units outside of the FITS standard. This prevents issuing repeated
  warnings when HMI maps have units of "Mx/cm2".
  (#8126)
• Fixed a bug with the caching of
  ~sunpy.map.Map properties
  observer_coordinate and wcs where modifying the metadata to be
  invalid would confuse the cache.
  (#8158)
• Fixed a bug where autoalign plotting of a
  ~sunpy.map.Map would not expand the
  plot limits in some cases.
  (#8161)
• Fixed a bug where the three magnetic coordinate frames
  (~sunpy.coordinates.frames.Geomagnetic,
  ~sunpy.coordinates.frames.SolarMagnetic,
  ~sunpy.coordinates.frames.GeocentricSolarMagnetospheric)
  would raise an error if used nontrivially with array obstime (as
  opposed to a scalar).
  (#8193)
• Fixed an incompatibility between the context manager for applying
  rotation (~sunpy.coordinates.propagate_with_solar_surface) and the
  context managers for applying screen assumptions
  (~sunpy.coordinates.PlanarScreen and
  ~sunpy.coordinates.SphericalScreen), which for example resulted in
  the discarding of most off-disk data in reprojections.
  (#8212)
• Ensure that ~sunpy.map.GenericMap uses
  the private accessor for the date-obs key, which can be overridden
  by a source subclass. This fixes EITMap.reference_date.
  (#8236)
• Prevented a potential segmentation fault when calling
  ~sunpy.time.parse_time on a list of more than 500 strings in a
  format not specifically recognized by
  sunpy.time itself and instead has to
  fall back on recognition by
  astropy.time.
  (#8257)

Documentation

• Now using sphinxcontrib-bibtex, to cite papers in a consistent and
  centralized manner.
  (#7837)
• Added an example
  sphx_glr_generated_gallery_plotting_offdisk_contours.py to show how
  to overlay off-disk contours from one map onto another map.
  (#8012)
• Fixed a small inaccuracy in the docstring of
  sunpy.coordinates.sun.B0 about the range of possible values for B0
  angle. (#8113)
• Fixed an error in the docstring of
  ~sunpy.coordinates.ephemeris.get_horizons_coord that mistakenly
  claimed that JPL Horizons supported the specification of "s" for
  seconds as the unit for step size, but Horizons does not.
  (#8190)

Internal Changes

• In order to support multiple versions of Python, the indentation of
  some docstrings is now different when accessed directly (i.e., via
  __doc__). The docstrings will look exactly the same when viewed in
  other ways, including in built documentation.
  (#8173)
• Fixed a bug with the internal tracking of active context managers that
  could result in incorrect tracking of complex nesting.
  (#8211)
