2000-02-25  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* $VERSION = '0.94';

	* Minor pod changes.

2000-02-23  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Reformat of util.c, minor cleanups in example scripts.

2000-02-22  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Updated examples.

	* Added cfitsio2036 routines fits_read_imgnull(), fits_read_colnull().

	* Removed maxdim argument from fits_read_atblhdr(),
	fits_read_btblhdr(), fits_read_imghdr(), fits_decode_tdim(),
	fits_read_tdim(), fits_test_expr(), fits_get_img_parm().
	Updated calls to these routines in testprogs and test.pl.

	* Added cfitsio2035 routines fits_update_key_longstr(),
	fits_insert_key_longstr(), fits_modify_key_longstr(),
	fits_get_img_par() and fits_get_keyclass(). Added cfitsio2035
	constants TYP_x_KEY.

2000-01-10  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* fits_read_header() makes an array of comments if there is
	more than one for a given header keyword (e.g., HISTORY keywords,
	because they end up in the COMMENTS portion of the output hash).

1999-12-11  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Disabled prototypes.

1999-12-11  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Added examples/check_status.pl and examples/match_datatype.pl
	to MANIFEST.

1999-12-11  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Attempt at making example scripts portable
	to 64-bit architectures, in a generalized manner.

1999-12-09  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Allow undef for timeref argument in fits_get_system_date().

1999-12-08  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Added sizeof_datatype().

1999-12-02  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* $VERSION = '0.93';

	* Added cfitsio version section to README.

	* Some common problems and solutions explained in INSTALL.

	* Explicitly enabled prototypes in CFITSIO.xs.

1999-11-26  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Updated fits_get_img_size/ffgisz() for new prototype
	in CFITSIO 2.034.

1999-11-12  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Added WCS routines fits_get_image_wcs_keys()/ffgiwcs() and
	fits_get_table_wcs_keys()/ffgtwcs(). Another routine -
	fits_get_imagecell_wcs_keys() - is documented in the manual
	but not found in the cfitsio library.

1999-11-01  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* unpack3D() - fixed bug in inner loop.

1999-10-06  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* read_tblbytes(): Fixed compiler warning of incompatible pointers.

1999-09-28  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* fits_get_hdu_num() now accepts undef argument. Useful since
	its return value is the current HDU number, and setting the variable
	inplace was redundant.

1999-09-21  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Added fits_null_check/ffnchk(), fits_get_img_type/ffgidt(),
	fits_get_img_dim/ffgidm() and fits_get_img_size/ffgisz().

	These are all new in CFITSIO v2.033

1999-09-14  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* $VERSION = '0.92';

1999-09-13  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.xs: find_rows(), read_3d_TYP(), read_colnull_str(),
	read_descripts(), read_grppar_TYP(), read_imgnull_TYP(),
	read_subset_TYP(), read_subsetnull_TYP(), read_tblbytes():
	Created fastpaths for case of PerlyUnpacking(0).

1999-09-13  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.xs: read_2d_TYP(), read_img_TYP(), fastpaths for
	PerlyUnpacking(0).

1999-09-13  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.xs: read_colnull_TYP() fastpaths for PerlyUnpacking(0).

1999-09-09  Pete Ratzlaff  <rpete@ascda3.harvard.edu>

	* examples/: Updated examples somewhat. Nothing big, though.

1999-08-31  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.xs: read_col_TYPE(), read_col_bit_TYPE(): Fast path created
	for case of PerlyUnpacking(0). Was doing an extra allocation and memcpy,
	no more. This needs to be done for a number of the other routines as
	well.

1999-08-30  Pete Ratzlaff  <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* examples/bintable_read.pl: Was not actually die()ing if get_colnum()
	failed. Fixed.

1999-08-24  Pete Ratzlaff <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.pm: Fixed example function call in pod.

1999-04-08  Pete Ratzlaff <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.pm: $VERSION = '0.91';

	* CFITSIO.pm: Removed duplicate 'my' declaration.

	* CFITSIO.pm, CFITSIO.xs: Synched up with cfitsio2031. Added
	fits_get_col_display/ffgcdw, fits_read_col_bit_{usht,uint}/ffgcxu{ik},
	fits_url_type/ffurlt

	* examples/bintable_read.pl: Use get_num_rows() to find number of rows
	instead of read_btblhdr().

	* CFITSIO.pm: fits_read_header() was griping with -w, $status now
	predeclared.

1999-03-23  Pete Ratzlaff <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.xs: ffopen() was segfaulting if filename was undef, now
	assumes empty string (which will fail, of course).

	* CFITSIO.xs: fits_get_colnum() accepts undef for output variable now.

1998-12-15  Pete Ratzlaff <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.pm: fits_read_header() no longer calls fits_close_file() if
	passed a fitsfilePtr.

1998-12-08  Pete Ratzlaff <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* CFITSIO.xs, testprog/*: Bug squashed...fits_read_colnull_{,dbl}cmp were
	not allocating enough memory for null-flags array. Turns out you need
	2*nelem elements.

1998-12-07  Pete Ratzlaff <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* Makefile.PL: Minor fix to clean testprog/testprog.{fit,lis}.

	* testprog/runtests: First hack at auto testprogs

1998-12-04  Pete Ratzlaff <pratzlaff@cfa.harvard.edu>

	* test.pl: More tests added.

	* CFITSIO.pm: Updated pod.

	* CFITSIO.xs: More compatibility fixes and squashed bugs.
