2.1 Release
Notes</h3>
<ol>
  <h4> <b>Version 2.1</b></h4>
  <ol>
    <li> <tt>04.05.2002 fixed a problem with xpa contour load.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>04.22.2002 ds9 version 2.1 released to the public.</tt></li>
  </ol>
  <h4> <b>Version 2.1b7</b></h4>
  <ol>
    <li> <tt>04.02.2002 upgrade to XPA 2.1.0e2. This fixes a problem
with
xpa and
linux/linuxppc.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>04.03.2002 fixed a problem with AST. plot.c, line 19463,
change parameter
'force' from 1 to 0 in call to 'CheckLabels'. Sometimes we were seeing
adj labels that where the same. This change makes sure that the labels
are 'reduced' if we have this condition.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>04.03.2002 ds9 will now automatically open as a bin table
fits extension
named EVENTS, STDEVT, and RAYEVENT.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>04.03.2002 when trying to find an image to open in relax
mode
(ie the
use did not specify an extension), ds9 will not find a valid image if
the
length of either axis is 0.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>04.03.2002 now check for Ghostscript version 6.50 or
higher
when invoking
Save As.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>04.03.2002 add help application preference. Users can now
choose between
Netscape and Mozilla as the prefered help application.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>04.04.2002 ds9 version 2.1b7 released to the public.</tt></li>
  </ol>
  <h4> <b>Version 2.1b6</b></h4>
  <ol>
    <li> <tt>02.04.2002 upgraded to ast version 1.8.6. Modified ast to
use
sscanf()
for all platforms except Darwin. Darwin uses astSscanf(), which works
around
a problem with sscanf() on MacOSX, with format strings of the following
format: sscanf(str, " %s %n", foo, &amp;nc).</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.04.2002 changed fity++ primary_/head_ header
relationship.
primary_
is only set if there is a primary header is available and different
from
head_.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.04.2002 wsc's are init'd with both the head_ and the
primary_ (if
available) to handle the case where wcs keywords are spread between hdu
nd primary headers in mulitiple extension files.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.06.2002 all xpa commands are now 'catch{}' to invoke a
procedure
that will unwind the watch cursor stack. Hopefully, no more stuck watch
cursors.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.07.2002 add <i>color</i> and <i>width</i> parameters
to
contours
paste command. defaults are <i>green</i> and <i>1</i></tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.08.2002 fixed a problem with the FRAME menu. It was
cutting off
the last separator.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.12.2002 AST grid still does not support ICRS properly.
When a user
sets the coordinate system to ICRS, the actually parameters sent to the
AST grid code is FK5</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.13.2002 for XPA points array, fits, regions, and wcs
(fillbuf=false),
manually flush the buffer at the end to make sure no data is left</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.13.2002 ecliptic coords from wcssubs corrected by new
version of
wcs/wcscon.c</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.13.2002 AST grids, corrected the MDJ-OBS keyword
generated
to generate
the correct EPOCH.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.13.2002 adjusted the EQUINOX value for ECLIPTIC coords
for
ast grids
to agree with wcssubs. Seems for ecliptic coords, wcssubs and ast use
two
slightly different interpretations of the EQUINOX value.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.13.2002 fixed a problem with histogram equalization
introduced in
version 2.1b5.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.14.2002 fixed a problem with titles in plot(stdin). We
now
take
the first line, and starting from the end, pick off the dimension, x
and
y axis titles, and the remainder is taken as the plot title. It can
contain
spaces and special characters such as '[]'</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.14.2002 add 'Always create new plot' option to prefs</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.14.2002 add multiple analysis plots, unless prefs are
unset</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.14.2002 change default annulus and panda to 1 annuli</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.14.2002 enable multiple array loads via blueplate
dialog</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.14.2002 reset,append, and replace wcs now processes
OBJECT
keyword</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.15.2002 fixed a problem with grid format of degrees.
Sometimes,
the incorrect format would be used. This was corrected by up'ng the
number
of digits displayed to d.3</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.21.2002 upgraded to AST 1.8.7</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.21.2002 upgraded to WCS 3.0.7</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.22.2002 fixed a problem with Ascii Tables in fitsy++.
The
column
offset is now calculated from TBCOLn if present.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.22.2002 simplied columns in fitsy++. Now all columns
have
a value(char*
ptr, int i) and str(char* ptr, int i) procedure.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.22.2002 add support for HST WFPC2 mosaics</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.25.2002 fixed a problem with 'marker command'. The
command
STRING
must be quoted by '\{' '\}' before being pasted to the Frame parser.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.26.2002 add $ERROR/ERROR: support for analysis
$plot(stdin) macro.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.26.2002 analysis menus now support multiple levels of
hierarchical
menus</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.26.2002 multiple hierarchical menus may have the same
label</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.26.2002 hierarchical menu label may have an imbedded
spaces</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.26.2002 add endhmenu endparam to analysis file parser</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.26.2002 analysis file text maybe indented</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>02.26.2002 add help support to analysis file</tt></li>
