The following describes the most significant changes which have
occurred in the AST library between versions V3.0 and V3.1 (the
current version):
- Addition of a new class called XmlChanXmlChan - a ChannelChannel which
reads and writes AST objects in the form of XML.
- A bug has been fixed in the PlotPlot class which could cause incorrect
graphical attributes to be used for various parts of the plot if either
axis has no tick marks (i.e. if both major and minor tick marks have zero
length).
Programs which are statically linked will need to be re-linked in
order to take advantage of these new facilities.
