The CARTA development team is excited to announce that CARTA v2.0 is released today! The development team has tried hard to elevate CARTA to a higher level over the last six months by adding important new features.

The main new features are:
● Multi-profile plot with the spectral profiler
● Progress report and cancellation when requesting a long file list
● Forming a Stokes hypercube at image loading stage
● Colorbar display in the image viewer and enhanced raster image config widget
● Support rectangular pixel rendering for PV image

● Saving subimage
● Searching a keyword from image header
● Profile fitting in the spectral profiler
● Marker-based catalog rendering and performance enhancement
