The following describes the most significant changes which
occurred in the AST library between versions V8.0.4 and V8.0.5:
- The SkyFrameSkyFrame class has a new attribute called SkyTolSkyTol, which specifies
the smallest significant distance within the SkyFrame. It is used to
decide if the MappingMapping between two SkyFrames can be considered a unit
transformation. The default value is 0.001 arc-seconds.
- A bug has been fixed in the FitsChanFitsChan class that prevented illegal
characters within FITS keyword names (i.e. characters not allowed by the
FITS standard) being detected. This bug could under some circumstances
cause a subsequent segmentation violation to occur.
- A “BadKeyName” warning is now issued by the FitsChan class if a FITS
keyword name is encountered that contains any illegal characters. See
attribute “WarningsWarnings” and
function “astWarningsastWarnings”.
