libcasa-casa8 - 3.6.1-3 main

The casacore package contains the core libraries of the old
AIPS++/CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) package. This
split was made to get a better separation of core libraries and
applications.
.
This package contains the Core modules: Multi-dimensional arrays, Quantities
(values with physical units), OS and IO interface classes, Containers (from
pre-STL era), Miscellaneous modules for exceptions, tasking interface,
command line input, logging, STL wrappers, and basic math classes and
functors.
.
Most of the code has been developed before STL came into existence, so
several classes in modules Containers and Utilities are superseded by their
STL counterparts. However, they are still used in some casacore
code. Furthermore, some classes offer some extra functionality compared to
STL.
