Important notes

2008-07-16: NYU-VAGC DR7 released to SDSS collaboration.

2008-04-01ish There was an important problem in DR6, which was that several runs had fields missing (run numbers 6123, 6122, 6075, 5960, 5934, 5817, 5421, 5403, 5396, 5384, 4832, and 4828). This means that any area for which these runs are primary appear empty in the "vagc-dr6/vagc0" catalogs. While we won't change the "vagc-dr6/vagc0" directories, we have released a new version of the LSS samples, "dr6fix", which exclude the affected areas (about 20 sq deg). The old "dr6" results are available in the old locations. A similar fix was applied to the "internal DR7" release, replacing "dr7" with "dr7fix."

2007-11-26: NYU-VAGC DR6 released.

2005-07-13: NYU-VAGC DR4 released.

2005-01-13: Mike Way pointed out that all the entries were zero for sersic_petror90 in /global/data/vagc-dr2/vagc0/sersic/sersic_catalog.fits. This was a bug in the code which did not propagate the result into the actual file. I have replaced the file with a correct version (the old version is in sersic_catalog.fits.bk --- though I have checked the other columns in the file to make sure they didn't change).

2004-11-12: Cheng Li pointed out errors in $LSS_REDUX/drtwo14/lss_combmask.drtwo14.fits, which turned out to be incorrect, and has now been replaced.
