- The modules that make use of the ``astroquery.utils.tap.model.job.Job`` class
  (e.g. Gaia) no longer print messages about where the results of async queries
  were written if the ``verbose`` setting is ``False``. [#2299]

- New method, ``rename_table``, which allows the user to rename table and
  column names. [#2077]



0.4.5 (2021-12-24)
==================

New Tools and Services
----------------------

esa.jwst
^^^^^^^^^^

- New module to provide access to eJWST Science Archive metadata and datasets. [#2140, #2238]

^^^^^^

- Add ability to stage and download non image data which have been found
  through the CASDA obscore table. [#2158]

gaia
^^^^

- The bug which caused changing the ``MAIN_GAIA_TABLE`` option to have no
  effect has been fixed. [#2153]

ipac.ned
^^^^^^^^

- Keyword 'file_format' is added to ``get_image_list`` to enable obtaining
  links to non-fits file formats, too. [#2217]

- Query ``id_type`` behavior has changed:
    * ``'majorbody'`` and ``'id'`` have been removed and the equivalent
      functionality replaced with ``None``.  ``None`` implements the Horizons
      default, which is to search for major bodies first, then fall back to a
      small body search when no matches are found. Horizons does not have a
      major body only search. [#2161]
    * The default value was ``'smallbody'`` but it is now ``None``, which
      follows Horizons's default behavior. [#2161]

- Fix changes in column names that resulted KeyErrors. [#2202]

jplspec
^^^^^^^

- Versions of astropy <4 and numpy <1.16 are no longer supported. [#2163]

ipac
^^^^

- As part of the namespace restructure, now modules for the IPAC archives are
  avalable as: ``ipac.irsa``, ``ipac.ned``, and ``ipac.nexsci``.
  Additional services have also been moved to their parent organisations'
  namespace. Acces from the top namespace have been deprecated for the
  following modules: ``ibe``, ``irsa``, ``irsa_dust``,
  ``nasa_exoplanet_archive``, ``ned``, ``sha``. [#2131]
