The following describes the most significant changes which
occurred in the AST library between versions V5.6-0 and V5.6-1:
- Tables can now have any number of parameters describing the global
properties of the TableTable.
- Frames now interpret the unit string “A” as meaning “Ampere”
rather than “Angstrom”, as specified by FITS-WCS paper I.
- A bug has been fixed in the
astFindFrameastFindFrame
method that allowed a template FrameFrame of a more specialised class to match
a target frame of a less specialised class. For example, this bug would
allow a template SkyFrameSkyFrame to match a target Frame. This no longer
happens.
