Please consult the page "Elixir Releases History" on this site for more information on the evolution of the Elixir system to find out about the improvements brought to the recipies from one version to the next.

The very first Elixir CFHTLS data coming out from CFHT start at the release Elixir-LS001 for the Elixir System Version 2.0 (FITS keyword EL_SYS = 2.0).

CFHT will soon have a final stable set of Elixir recipies for the MegaCam data and at that time all the CFHTLS data acquired since the instrument became stable (June 2003) will be reprocessed at CFHT, transfered to CADC and posted to replace the frames processed with the version 2.0. Expect this to happen during the semester 2004A.
