+0.4.12 (unreleased)
+===================
+
+New Tools and Services
+----------------------
+
+
+
+API changes
+-----------
+
+esa.euclid
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Method ``get_datalinks`` has a new argument, ``extra_options``, to customize the results to be got
+  from the server. Specifically, passing ``'METADATA'`` to this argument will retrieve the extra fields
+  ``datalabs_path``, ``file_name`` and ``hdu_index``. [#3438]
+
+vizier
+^^^^^^
+- Methods ``get_catalog``, ``get_catalog_async`` and ``query_*`` now always return UCD1+ instead of UCD1. [#3458]
+
+
+Service fixes and enhancements
+------------------------------
+
+heasarc
+^^^^^^^
+- Add ``query_constraints`` to allow querying of different catalog columns. [#3403]
+- Add support for uploading tables when using TAP directly through ``query_tap``. [#3403]
+- Add automatic guessing for the data host in ``download_data``. [#3403]
+
+gaia
+^^^^
+
+- New datalink DR4 retrieval type RESIDUAL_IMAGE. [#3489]
+
+esa.hubble
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Update ``get_datalabs_path`` method so an alternative path is checked if the
+  file is not in Datalabs yet [#3437]
+
+mast
+^^^^
+
+- Raise an error if non-string values are passed to ``utils.resolve_object``. [#3435]
+
+- Filtering by file extension or by a string column is now case-insensitive in ``MastMissions.filter_products``
+  and ``Observations.filter_products``. [#3427]
+
+- Switch to use HTTP continuation for partial downloads. [#3448]
+
+- Expand the supported data types for filter values in ``Mast.mast_query``. Previously, users had to input
+  filter values enclosed in lists, even when specifying a single value or dictionary. [#3422]
+
+- Raise informative error if ``MastMissions`` query radius is too large. [#3447]
+
+- Add ``batch_size`` parameter to ``MastMissions.get_product_list``, ``Observations.get_product_list``,
+  and ``utils.resolve_object`` to allow controlling the number of items sent in each batch request to the server.
+  This can help avoid timeouts or connection errors for large requests. [#3454]
+
+- Separate requests for moving target cutouts in ``Tesscut`` to one per sector. [#3467]
+
+- Improved robustness of PanSTARRS column metadata parsing. This prevents metadata-related query errors. [#3485]
+
+jplspec
+^^^^^^^
+
+- Refactored to use linelists.core.  Added new ``get_molecule`` method [#3456]
+- Moved to linelists/.  astroquery.jplspec is now deprecated in favor of astroquery.linelists.jplspec [#3455]

+- Added jplspec, moved from its previous location (astroquery.jplspec to astroquery.linelists.jplspec) [#3455]
+
+xmatch
+^^^^^^
+
+- change url of xmatch to use the new CDS domain name [#3465]
+
+
+Infrastructure, Utility and Other Changes and Additions
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+utils.tap
+^^^^^^^^^
+

+
+esa.hubble
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Removal of the deprecated ``query_hst_tap`` method, use ``query_tap`` instead.
+  [#3367]
+
+eso
+^^^
+
+- Deprecated ``open_form`` and ``cache`` in query functions [#3339]
+
+gaia
+^^^^
+
+- Deprecated ``band`` from ``load_data`` as it has no effect on upstream
+  response any more. [#3278]
+
+mast
+^^^^
+
+- Deprecated the ``product`` parameter in the ``Tesscut.get_sectors``,
+  ``Tesscut.get_cutouts``, and ``Tesscut.download_cutouts`` methods.
+  Support for TESS Image Calibration (TICA) high-level science products has
+  been removed; only Science Processing Operations Center (SPOC) products
+  are supported. [#3391]
+
+
+Service fixes and enhancements
+------------------------------
+
+alma
+^^^^
+
+- Bug fix in ``footprint_to_reg`` that did not allow regions to be plotted.

+  EPOCH_SPECTRUM_XP_CROWDING, MEAN_SPECTRUM_XP, EPOCH_SPECTRUM_XP and
+  MEAN_SPECTRUM_XP_GRAVLENS. [#3382]
+
+heasarc
+^^^^^^^
+
+- Add support for astropy.table.Row in ``download_data`` and ``locate_data``.
+  [#3270]
+
+- ``locate_data`` returns empty rows with an error in the error_message column
+  if there are no data associated with that row rather than filtering it
+  out. [#3275]
+
+- ``locate_data`` changed to use POST request instead of GET to accomodate
+  large requests. [#3356]
+
+- Preserve size of mask when all values are False in ``locate_data``. [#3411]

+
+- Changed SkyBot URLs. [#3306]
+
+ipac.irsa
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Fix ``list_catalogs`` to not include image metadata tables, only

+  in to return all TAP tables, including non-spatial and metadata ones,
+  too. [#3334]
+
+- The "filter" kwarg of ``list_catalogs`` is now looking for string matches
+  either in catalog names and short descriptions. [#3415]
+
+linelists.cdms
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Add a keyword to control writing of new species cache files.
+  This is needed to prevent tests from overwriting those files. [#3297]
+- Add more complete support for CDMS quantum number and other value parsing. [#3302]
+
+mast
+^^^^
+
+- Add ``resolver`` parameter to query methods to specify the resolver to
+  use when resolving object names to coordinates. [#3292]
+
+- Add ``resolve_all`` parameter to ``resolve_object`` to resolve
+  object names and return coordinates for all available resolvers. [#3292]
+
+- Fix bug in ``utils.remove_duplicate_products`` that does not retain the
+  order of the products in an input table. [#3314]
+
+- Add ``return_uri_map`` parameter to ``Observations.get_cloud_uris`` to return
+  a mapping of the input data product URIs to the returned cloud URIs. [#3314]
+
+- Add ``verbose`` parameter to ``Observations.get_cloud_uris`` to control
+  whether warnings are logged when a product cannot be found in the cloud.
+  [#3314]
+
+- Improved ``MastMissions`` queries to accept lists for query critieria
+  values, in addition to comma-delimited strings. [#3319]
+
+- Enhanced ``filter_products`` methods in ``MastMissions`` and ``Observations``
+  to support advanced filtering expressions for numeric columns and with
+  negative values. [#3365, #3393]
+
+- Fix bug where duplicate columns from server responses cause an error when
+  converting to an ``~astropy.table.Table``. [#3400]
+
+- Support for resolving multiple object names at once with ``resolve_object``,
+  including automatic batching into groups of up to 30 names per request to
+  the name translation service. [#3398]
+
+simbad
+^^^^^^
+
+- Add ``async_job`` option in all query methods. It provides slower to start,
+  but more robust queries for which the timeout can be increased. [#3305]
+
+skyview
+^^^^^^^
+
+- Add ``get_query_payload`` kwarg to ``Skyview.get_images()`` and
+  ``Skyview.get_images_list()`` to return the query payload. [#3318]
+
+- Changed SkyView URL to https. [#3346]
+
+utils.tap
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+- The method ``upload_table`` accepts file formats accepted by astropy's
+  ``Table.read()``. [#3295]
+
+
+Infrastructure, Utility and Other Changes and Additions
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+query.py
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- ``BaseQuery._download_file`` now returns the local file path in all cases.
+  Some corner cases where downloads were not properly continued have been
+  fixed. [#3232]
+
+utils
+^^^^^
+
+- Raising cleaner errors earlier when server returns with error. [#3284]
+
+- ``return_frame`` parameter in ``utils.commons.parse_coordinates`` returns
+  coordinates in the specified frame. [#3164]

+  with ``MastMissions.get_dataset_kwd``. [#3155]
+
+mocserver
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Switch to https instead of http for the default url (allows pyodide to use the
+  module). [#3139]
+
+- Add ``TimeMOC`` and ``STMOC`` as possible entries in
+  ``MOCServer.query_region`` to allow temporal and space-time searches. [#3139]
+
+- ``return_moc`` now allows to ask for a Time-MOC or a Space-Time MOC rather
+  than only Space-MOCs. [#3139]
+
+- Fix query by MOC that would write a file ``moc.fits`` where the method
+  was executed in overwriting mode (potentially deleting data if there was
+  a conflicting file). [#3139]
+
+- Returned tables now have a default list of fields instead of the

+  Hierarchical progressive surveys. [#3139]
+
+- Add new parameter ``criteria`` in ``query_region`` and ``query_hips`` with
+  the same use as ``meta_data`` in the deprecated method ``find_datasets``.
+  [#3139]
+
+- Deprecated ``find_datasets`` in favour of ``query_region``. [#3139]

+- Support more of the 0.4.7 votable fields. Raise more significant error messages
+  for the discontinued ones. [#3186]
+
+- Fix the deprecated votable fields ``otype(V)`` and ``otype(S)``. [#3186]
+
+- Fixed non existing flux filters as votable fields would fail silently. [#3186]
+

+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Include warning in get_datalabs_path method for ehst when the data volume
+  is not mounted in DataLabs. [#3059]

+
+- New parameter USE_NAMES_OVER_IDS that gives preference to ``name`` over ID
+  attributes of columns as the names of columns in the ``astropy.table.Table``
+  instance. By default, value True is set, that gives name preference. [#2967]
+
+- Change the signature of the method ``load_data``: the parameter
+  ``output_file`` that defined the file where the results were
+  saved, is replaced by boolean parameter ``dump_to_file``, that in case it
+  is true, a compressed directory named "datalink_output.zip" with
+  all the DataLink files is made. So the users cannot specified the output
+  file anymore.  [#3014]
+
+- New retrieval types for datalink (Gaia DR4 release). [#3110]
+
+- The output file name built by the method ``load_data``, includes
+  microsecond resolution. This is based on the previous. [#3130]
+
+gama

+
+- Modified ``mast.Observations.get_cloud_uris`` to also accept query
+  criteria and data product filters. [#3064]
+
+- Increased the speed of ``mast.Observations.get_cloud_uris`` by obtaining
+  multiple URIs from MAST at once. [#3064]
+
+- Raise an error rather than a warning when nonexistent query criteria are
+  used in ``Observations.query_criteria``, ``Catalogs.query_criteria``,
+  ``Catalogs.query_region``, ``Catalogs.query_object``, and
+  ``MastMissions`` query methods,   [#3084, #3126]
+
+- Added support for case-insensitive criteria keyword arguments in
+  ``mast.Observations.query_criteria`` and ``mast.Catalogs.query_criteria``.
+  [#3087]
+
+- Added function ``mast.Observations.get_unique_product_list`` to return the
+  unique data products associated with given observations. [#3096]
+
+- Deprecated ``enable_cloud_dataset`` and ``disable_cloud_dataset`` in
+  classes where they are non-operational. [#3113]
+
+- Handle HLSP data products in ``Observations.get_cloud_uris``. [#3126]
+
+mpc
+^^^
+
+- Rename ``MPC.get_mpc_object_endpoint`` to ``MPC._get_mpc_object_endpoint`` to
+  indicate that it is a private method. [#3089]
+
+- Parse star catalog information when querying observations database. [#2957]
+
+- Parse ephemeris with sky motion with three digit precision. [#3026]
+
+- Raise EmptyResponseError when empty ephemeris response is returned [#3026]
+
+- Deprecated ``get_raw_response`` parameter from ``MPC.get_observations``. The
+  raw response may be retrieved from the _async() method. [#3089]
+
+- Removed ``get_raw_response`` parameter from ``MPC.get_ephemeris`` and
+  ``MPC.get_observatory_codes`` without deprecation as the parameters were
+  ignored and had no effect. [#3089]
+
+- Fixed bug in ``MPC.get_ephemeris`` that caused the ``cache`` keyword parameter
+  to be ignored. [#3089]
+
+- Removed ``comettype`` parameter from ``MPC.get_observations`` without
+  deprecation: it was undocumented, ignored, and had no effect.  [#3089]
+
+- When ``MPC.get_ephemeris`` raises an ``InvalidQueryError`` message, instead of
+  returning the original HTML formatted text, strip the HTML tags and return a

+  Use ``ROW_LIMIT = 0`` to retrieve the output's meta-data. [#2954]
+
+- ``ROW_LIMIT`` can now be set at instantiation
+  (e.g.: ``simbad = Simbad(ROW_LIMIT=10))``). [#2954]
+
+- ``list_votable_fields`` now return an astropy Table with added fields
+  information instead of a list of strings. [#2954]
+
+- ``list_votable_fields`` is now queried directly from SIMBAD instead of reading
+  a file in astroquery. This prevents it from being outdated. [#2954]
+
+- ``get_votable_fields`` now prints the table name and column name instead of
+  just the column name. [#2954]
+
+- The ``verbose`` and ``cache`` kwargs have been deprecated from all methods
+  as they have no effect with with the new query interface. [#2954]
+
+- ``get_adql`` is deprecated and replaced by ``get_query_payload`` in
+  ``list_columns`` and ``list_table``.
+  The payload output contains the ADQL under the ``QUERY`` key. [#2954]
+
+- All query methods except ``query_tap`` and ``query_criteria`` now accept a
+  ``criteria`` argument to restrict the results with custom criteria. [#2954]
+

+
+- Query ``id_type`` behavior has changed:
+    * ``'majorbody'`` and ``'id'`` have been removed and the equivalent
