1.4.0 (2022-01-10)

  bad input data. [#6309]

• Added a function that, when given RA, Dec, lambda, computes which ones project
  into a given NIRSpec IFU slice. [#6316]

• Changed in_ifu_slice in util.py to return the indices of elements in slice.
  Also the x tolerance on finding slice elements was increased. [#6326]

• Fix a bug due to which, under certain circumstances, PC-matrix and
  CDELT coefficients may be removed from FITS WCS of data products. [#6453]

  redundant with Constraint_Image_Science present. [#6384]

  centering of the source within the slitlet, because for extended/uniform

  half of flatfield, where they will skip the step as expected [#6462]

jump

• Updated jump detection step to use common code moved to stcal [#6089]

• In stcal (pr #72), several changes were made to fix existing bugs in the
  twopoint difference routine for jump detection. Some of these issues
