Version 2.4

This version has several improvements, the most notable are:

• More flexibility in the UVData.frequency_average method, including support for multiple spectral windows and better handling in when averaging by a number of channels that does not divide evenly into the number of channels in each spectral window.
• Fixed a bug in LST calculation that led to small discontinuities in LSTs calculated using the erfa (the default) or novas astrometry libraries.
• The quality_array on UVCal objects is no longer required.
• Fixed a bug in reading mwa_corr_fits files from the new MWAX correlator
• Added compatibility with Python 3.11

There are also a number of breaking changes, including changes associated with:

• Removing support for old style phasing
• Full support for multiple phase centers (so rephrasing when adding/concatenating is not required)
• A number of telescope metadata parameters are now required on UVFlag objects.

Full changes detailed below and in our changelog:
