<div style="margin-left: 2em">
<h4><b>Version 3.0</b></h4>
<ol>
<li><tt>12.24.2002 TCL/TK: update to 8.4.1</tt></li>
<li><tt>12.24.2002 BLT: update to 2.4z</tt></li>
<li><tt>12.24.2002 TKIMG: update to 1.3rc</tt></li>
<li><tt>01.03.2003 XPA: fixed a problem with 'xpaget ds9 regions
selected'</tt></li>
<li><tt>01.28.2003 SAVEAS: now saves all slices of a data cube, if
the display mode is single.</tt></li>
<li><tt>01.28.2003 GUI: Add 'wm protocol . WM_DELETE_WINDOW
QuitDS9' for main window so that tcl/tk 8.4 does not segv when a
user double clicks on a close window icon.</tt></li>
<li><tt>01.29.2003 GCC: add support for gcc 3.0/3.2</tt></li>
<li><tt>01.29.2002 GCC: updated saotk/FlexLexer.h from flex 2.5.27,
available at http://lex.sourceforge.net/<br></tt></li>
<li><tt>02.04.2003 WINDOWS: modify configuration files for tkimg1.3
and tkhtml to support windows.<br></tt></li>
<li><tt>02.05.2003 WCS: upgrade to 3.3.0</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.06.2003 ARCHIVE: the default ADS max search size is now
a radius of .1 arcmin.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.06.2003 XPA: add '-xpa tcl' command line option. By
default, disable xpa tcl access since it is a major security
risk.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.07.03 FITS: fixed a problem with loading fits files via
the url menu or command line.<br></tt></li>
<li><tt>02.07.03 HTTP: loading images via url http processes the
image based on the http header mime type and encoding, not the file
name. images loaded via url ftp are still processed based on file
name.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.07.03 PLOT: fixed a problem with global vars and the
plot widget.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.11.03 BINNING: fixed a bug with the bin table smoothing
support. If the bin factor is large enough to bin the entire image
in the bin buffer, ds9 would segv by trying to read out of
bounds.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.25.03 XPA: fixed a bug with loading an image from xpa
stdin without a filename.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.25.03 XPA: add 'fillbuf=false' to all xpa receive
commands that do not use $buf. This will speed up processing
because the data socket is not opened.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.25.03 XPA: fixed a problem with appending an wcs via
xpa. The appended wcs is now positioned at the end, not the
beginning. also, a problem occurred when the 'END' card was not the
last card of the header. This has been fixed.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.25.03 XPA: changes to xpa regions syntax.
'moveback'/'movefront' are now 'move back'/'move front',
'selectall'/'selectnone' are now 'select all'/'select none', and
'deleteall' is 'delete all'. Backward compatibility has bee
maintained</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.25.03 XPA: add 'select group <groupname>' and
'delete select' to xpa regions access point.</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.26.03 HV: add support for gif,png,ppm,xbm,xpm file
formats</tt></li>
<li><tt>02.27.03</tt> <tt>HV:</tt> <tt>fixed some problems with
tkhtml uri resolver. This cleans up a lot of tcl code.</tt></li>
<li><tt>03.04.03 HV: images are now scaled if the width/height args
are provided in the html src.</tt></li>
<li><tt>03.04.03 ARCHIVE: add chandra archive web chaser.</tt></li>
<li><tt>03.12.03 COLORMAP: Fixed a problem with InitColorbar and a
colormap of A or B.</tt></li>
<li><tt>03.12.03 ANALYSIS: all comments after # are
ignored.</tt></li>
<li><tt>03.12.03 ANALYSIS: non macros can be escaped by using
$$.</tt></li>
<li><tt>03.31.03 COMMAND: Add -frame command line option.</tt></li>
<li><tt>04.08.03 GUI: Remove Magnifier Mode option, along with
Magnifier Replicate code.</tt></li>
<li><tt>04.23.03 HST WFPC: Mosaic images must be loaded directly.
this fixes a problem in that it was not possible to autodect a
WFPC2 image in an incoming data stream, such as stdin.</tt></li>
<li><tt>05.12.03 API: *** CHANGE *** Frame load syntax has changed
to make it consistent across all modes and file formats. In
particular, the general syntax is: <frame> load fits|array
<filename> mmap|alloc|alloc gz|channel|shared|socket|var
<options></tt></li>
<li><tt>05.12.03 API: *** CHANGE *** shared memory loads no longer
require the size of the memory segment.</tt></li>
<li><tt>05.20.03 WCS: update to 3.3.4</tt></li>
<li><tt>05.20.03 AST: update to 2.0</tt></li>
<li><tt>05.22.03 GRID: fix a problem with grid.C interface to AST.
The text bounding box code was returning the coordinates in a
clockwise manner. It needs to be returned in an anti-clockwise
manner.</tt></li>
<li><tt>05.22.03 GRID: Add support for user specified Grid Axes
Numerics gap.</tt></li>
<li><tt>05.27.03 GRID: Fixed a problem with the bounding box of a
publication grid. it was .5 pixels off.</tt></li>
<li><tt>05.28.03 GUI: Fixed a problem with 'get cursor'. Sometimes,
as with loading dss images, the matrices were not updated in time,
and 'get cursor' returned bogus values. Now all calls to 'get
cursor' force an update.</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.02.03 GUI: fixed several problems with examine
mode</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.02.03 ARCHIVE: add NOAO 4MASS and SIRTF and NOAO NSA to

configuration</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.16.03 FITS: Add 3D array data cube</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.17.03 FITS: Fixed a problem with an incorrect data cube
dialog and wfpc2 mosaics and rgb data cubes. Basically, these two
cases are not really data cubes.</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.17.03 RGB: Replace RGB menu with RGB dialog.</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.17.03 XPA: Fixed a problem with xpaget ds9 regions
[include|exclude|source|background].</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.18.03 REGION: fix a problem with non-linear physical
coordinates and save/load regions.</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.18.03 WCS: fix a problem with determining the rotation
of a wcs coordinate system. previously, CRPIX was used as the start
point. This does not work in cases where the tangent point is very
far off the image. Instead, (1,1) is used.</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.18.03 WCS: Remove preference Panner WCS origin. This is
stupid and breaks with the previous change. Just remove it instead
of trying to fix it.</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.26.03 FITS: Add support 3D array data cubes.</tt></li>
<li><tt>06.30.03 RGB: Add support for RGB array data

still restricted to ~2.5Gb.</tt></li>
<li><tt>07.10.03 FITS: add FLUSH parameter for fitsy++
array.</tt></li>
<li><tt>07.10.03 FITS: Major change in behavior of fitsy++ streams
and FLUSH. Only socket and socketgz will flush, all others will not
flush the buffer after an error, or after successfull loading a
fits image.</tt></li>
<li><tt>07.11.03 XPA: add DATACUBE support.</tt></li>
<li><tt>07.14.03 WCS: Fixed a problem with WCS XLON-TAN (NPOLE) and
AST. NPOLE is a special wcs equ coord system, and has to be handed

plot widgets via xpa.</tt></li>
<li><tt>08.13.03 COLORMAP: fixed a problem with loading lut
colormaps under linux. ifstream behaves differently between solaris
and linux.</tt></li>

<li><tt>08.18.03 FITS: add Large file support for darwin and
linuxppc</tt></li>
<li><tt>08.18.03 LINUXPPC: fixed a problem with linking linuxppc.

can't links static.</tt></li>
<li><tt>08.19.03 XPA: add options to xpa update so that 'update
