The following describes the most significant changes which
occurred in the AST library between versions V7.2.0 and V7.3.0:
- The interface for the astRebinSeq<X> family of functions has
been changed in order to allow a greater number of pixels to be pasted
into the output array. The "nused" parameter is now a pointer to a
"int64_t" variable, instead of an "int". APPLICATION CODE SHOULD BE
CHANGED ACCORDINGLY TO AVOID SEGMENTATION FAULTS AND OTHER ERRATIC
BEHAVIOUR.
- Added a new facility to the FrameSetFrameSet class to allow each FrameFrame to be
associated with multiple Mappings, any one of which can be used to
connect the Frame to the other Frames in the FrameSet. The choice of
which MappingMapping to use is controlled by the new “VariantVariant” attribute of the
FrameSet class.
- Mappings (but not Frames) that have a value set for their IdentIdent
attribute are now left unchanged by the
c astSimplifyastSimplify function.
f AST_SIMPLIFY routine.
