+System Notes File for IRAF Version 2.15.
+Begun with V2.15 code freeze 22 Nov 2010.
+-------------------------------------------
+
+unix/hlib/install
+ Fixed an old bug when creating the imtoolrc link in cases where the
+ system doesn't already have a /usr/local directory (11/23/10)
+
+unix/hlib/extpkg.cl
+ Changed the test used to define an external package to check for
+ either a ".installed" file (e.g. when using the makefile) or a
+ package .cl script (e.g. when pointing a symlink) (11/23/10)
+
+New distribution files cut.....
+-------------------------------
+
+unix/hlib/irafuser.csh
+unix/hlib/irafarch.csh
+ On 32-bit mac systems the arch wasn't being properly detected (11/24/10)
+
+New distribution files cut.....
+-------------------------------
+
+util/pkginst
+util/pkginit
+util/pkgclean
+util/pkgupdate
+ Updates to allow IRAFARCH to specify the architecture to be installed.
+ Also modified to update script to automatically update all currently
+ installed architectures regardless of IRAFARCH (11/30/10)
+
+unix/hlib/install
+ Added a fix to the '-m' flag
+
+sys/libc/cimdrcur.c
+ The 'wcs' field was not properly converted from int to/from XINT in
+ the interface, causing the value to always be returned as 0 on 64-bit
+ platforms (12/6/10)
+
+pkg/ecl/mkpkg
+ Changed the -ltermcap to -lncurses to use the newer form of this library
+ and eliminate problems with users having to manually created links to
+ satisfy the shared libs (12/6/10)
+
+pkg/ecl/mkpkg
+ Added changes needed for FreeBSD port. (12/23/10)
+
+unix/boot/spp/xc.c
+ Added changes needed for FreeBSD port. (12/23/10)
+
+unix/hlib/mkpkg.inc
+unix/hlib/irafuser.csh
+ Added changes needed for FreeBSD port. (12/23/10)
+
+util/pkgget
+util/mksrc
+util/mkclean
+util/mkbindist
+ An ERRMSG alias was being used but not defined (12/30/10)
+
+unix/hlib/irafarch.csh
+ Added 'power macintosh' as a valid uname value for 10.4 PPC systems.
+ (12/31/10)
+
+unix/hlib/irafarch.csh
+ The uname cmd for Solaris had an extra '|' pipe definition (1/3/11)
+
+unix/boot/spp/xc.c
+ The fork() procedure was declared as type int instead of pid_t (1/3/11)
+
+lib/libimc.a -> ../bin/libimc.a +
+pkg/images/immatch/src/imcombine/src/generic/mkpkg
+pkg/images/immatch/src/imcombine/src/mkpkg
+pkg/images/immatch/src/imcombine/mkpkg
+pkg/images/mkpkg
+ Converted the generic combining code into a core library so that
+ other versions of combine (such as in ccdred, mscred, nfextern)
+ will share the same code rather than have copies. (1/4/11, Valdes)
+
+pkg/tbtables/Revisions+
+tbhanp.x
+tbhpnp.x
+tbttyp.x
+ A couple of trivial changes (see the Revisions file) and:
+ 1. Changes to better control the types and extensions. The accepted
+ extensions are |tab|fits|fit|fxb|txt|dat|cat|tmp|.
+ 2. If no extensions is given the default is now text instead of STSDAS
+ table.
+ (1/7/11, Valdes)
+
+unix/hlib/extpkg.cl
+ Fixed a typo where 'dp' was defined instead of 'dpkg' (1/14/11)
+
+sys/vops/mkpkg
+ Forced the generation of the ACHT code when compiling the VOPS lib.
+ These routines are doubly-generic but allow for in-place conversion,
+ however there is a difference in the relative datatype size on 32-
+ and 64-bit system (e.g. real and int are the same on 32-bit, int is
+ larger on 64-bit) which causes the loop indexing to be different.
+ By forcing the regeneration of the code on each system we ensure that
+ during a sysgen the code appropriate for the platform will be used.
+ (1/18/11)
+
+unix/os/zzdbg.c +
+unix/os/zzstrt.c
+ Moved all the (undocumented) debug print functions from the zzstrt.c
+ code into a separate zzdbg.c simply to collect them. These routines
+ can be used to debug low-level VOS routines but aren't generally used
+ outside of a port situation (1/18/11)
+
+sys/osb/mkpkg
+sys/osb/ieee.gx
+sys/osb/iand32.c +
+ IEEE NaN masking was being done using only a 32-bit mask. On 64-bit
+ systems this would lead to the interpretation of a double-precision
+ exponent as always being zero. This meant that all TY_DOUBLE FITS
+ files on 64-bit systems would appear to contain only zero pixels. (1/18/11)
+
+sys/imio/imfls.gx
+ Data types needed to be converted on 64-bit systems even when the types
+ are the same due to the need to pack/unpack int pixels (assumed to be
+ 32-bit values) (1/18/11)
+
+sys/imio/impak.gx
+sys/imio/imupk.gx
+ Earlier 64-bit mods to these routines were attempts to work around the
+ in-place conversion bug discovered above. In impak.gx it is still nec-
+ essary to pack int/long into 32-bit values written to the file (1/18/11)
+
+pkg/images/imutil/src/nhedit.x
+ The comfile parameter check was modified to allow the "NULL" string as
+ an option to indicate no comfile was present (standard use is the null
+ string "", as was done when the task was first imported to the core
+ system). More time has been spent whining about this supposed
+ 'incompatability' than would have taken to resolve it but this change
+ should work for users even if the external package version of the
+ task is not available. I don't expect the whining will ever stop,
+ though. (1/18/11)
+
+unix/os/zgcmdl.c
+ Changed declaration of 'environ' to quiet warning messages. (1/19/11)
+
+pkg/ecl/readline/mkpkg
+ Changed the execution of the configure cmd to explicityly use "./" (1/20/11)
+
+sys/fmtio/evexpr.y
+sys/fmtio/evvexpr.gy
+ A typo meant that the GT token precedence was set twice (1/24/11)
+
+Makefile
+ Added a 'self_update' target to allow future updates (1/25/11)
+
+.version
+ Added a file with a simple version string for use in scripts (1/25/11)
+
+util/pkgget
+util/pkginit
+util/pkgclean
+util/pkgconfig
+ Minor error-code checks (1/25/11)
+
+pkg/cl/cl.par
+pkg/ecl/cl.par
+unix/hlib/motd
+unix/hlib/install
+unix/hlib/login.cl
+unix/hlib/irafarch.csh
+unix/hlib/zzsetenv.def
+ Updated to v2.15.1 (1/25/11)
+
+pkg/utilities/nttools/stxtools/vexcompile.y
+ Added declaration of vex_gettok() to source grammar. (1/25/11)
+
+sys/fmtio/evexpr.y
+sys/fmtio/evvexpr.gy
+pkg/tbtables/selector/trsopen.y
+noao/digiphot/photcal/parser/parser.y
+pkg/utilities/nttools/tunits/parseunits.y
+pkg/utilities/nttools/stxtools/vexcompile.y
+ Touched the file mod time to force regeneration of parsers. (1/25/11)

+unix/boot/xyacc/cddllicense.txt +
+unix/boot/xyacc/README
+ Replaced XYACC code with a version built from the OpenSolaris project
+ and distributed under the free 'Common Development and Distribution
+ License' (CDDL). Except for minor line number changes in the generated
+ parser, the production tables and variables used are identical to the
+ earlier XYACC. This version of XYACC is now free of license restrictions
+ other than those required by the CDDL. The README file has been updated
+ to reflect these changes. Total effort for the project was 1 day. (1/25/11)
+
+pkg/images/imutil/src/imexpr.gx
+ A use of Memr in the struct was not declared with P2R in the generic code.
+ (1/25/11)
+
+pkg/images/imutil/src/imexpr.gx
+ Modified the behavior of the task so that when a scalar expression is
+ used, all pixels are set to that value. Previously, only the first pixel
+ was set with the remainder of the image undefined. (1/25/11)
+

+System Frozen for V2.15.1 Patch (1/25/11)
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+unix/gdev/sgidev/sgi2uapl.c
+unix/gdev/sgidev/sgi2ueps.c
+ Declaration of the timestamp variable was failing on 64-bit system (2/4/11)
+
+sys/mwcs/wftnx.x
+sys/mwcs/wfzpx.x
+sys/mwcs/wfzpn.x
+ The interative inversion method could runaway leading to an arithmetic
+ exception. Added a maximum change to each iteration to avoid this.

+unix/as.macintel/ieeer.x
+ The earlier update to fix the double-precision problem left a debug
+ value in the generic code that was never updated in the patch build.
+ This meant that zero pixels in FITS files were being interpreted as
+ 128 (the debug value). (2/17/11)
+
+pkg/dataio/fits/fits_rpixels.x
+pkg/dataio/fits/fits_wpixels.x
+ Buffer sizes were being computed using SZ_INT instead of SZ_INT32 (2/18/11)
+
+sys/fmtio/evexpr.y
+sys/fmtio/evexpr.x
+sys/fmtio/evvexpr.gy
+sys/fmtio/evvexpr.y
+sys/fmtio/evvexpr.x
+ An earlier change to the token declarations had the strange effect of
+ changing the processing of string comparison. This effectively broke
+ tasks like HSELECT. Fell back to the earlier (and original) code until
+ this is better understood, however it doesn't appear to be releated to
+ the XYACC changes. (2/18/11)
+
+pkg/images/tv/imexamine/imexam.h
+ The coordinates arrays in the main structure were improperly indexed
+ with the P2R macro (2/10/11)

+ Updated to v2.15.1a (2/21/11)
+
+------------------------------------------------------
+System Frozen for V2.15.1a Patch (2/21/11)
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+pkg/tbtables/fitsio/fttrnn.f
+ Disabled NaN checking for this function. It doesn't work properly on
+ 64-bit systems and NaN is seldom used anyway (2/22/11)
+
+sys/imio/imggsc.x
+ The pixels size indexing was incorrect in the case of e.g. 32-bit int
+ pixels and access as a real array. This was causing access to image
+ columns and higher dimensional data to get bogus values. (4/4/11)
+
+util/mkup
+ Added extra step to do the core "mkpkg update" (5/2/11)
+
+sys/etc/urlget.x +
+sys/etc/zzdebug.x
+sys/etc/mkpkg
+ Added a new url_get() procedure for downloading URLs to a named file.
+ Method signature is
+
+ nread = url_get (char url[], char outname[], pointer reply)
+
+ If a 'reply' pointer is supplied, the HTTP reply header is returned
+ as a string which must be allocated to at least SZ_LINE. (5/30/11)
+
+sys/imio/imt/ +
+ Added enhanced IMT expansion interface. See details in the
+ imio$imt/README file. (6/7/11)
+
+unix/hlib/libc/knames.h
+ Added definitions for imul32() and strsum() (6/17/11)
+
+sys/osb/imul32.c
+ Added code comments forgotten from the initial 64-bit port (6/17/11)
+
+sys/osb/mkpkg
+sys/osb/strsum.c
+ Added a new strsum() procedure to return the 32-bit checksum of an
+ SPP string. This is used in e.g. generating the filenames for the
+ URL cache. (6/17/11)
+
+sys/fio/mkpkg
+sys/fio/fcache.x
+ Implemented a proper URL cache mechanism for IRAF that provides
+ programmatic and application interfaces and can be shared with VOClient.
+ Cache names are generated from the filename/URI string (its checksum)
+ to map a URL to a local file resource, access is blocked until the
+ local resource becomes available for use. Names aren't guaranteed to
+ be unique but collisions should be rare and the mechanism allows URLs
+ to be dealt with easily at the application level. (6/21/11)
+
+unix/os/mkpkg
+unix/os/zfrmdr.c +
+unix/hlib/libc/knames.h
+unix/hlib/libc/kproto.h
+ Added a new kernel routine to delete directories (6/21/11)

+sys/ki/mkpkg
+sys/ki/ki.x
+sys/ki/ki.h
+sys/ki/kfrmdr.x +
+unix/hlib/knet.h

+
+lib/syserr.h
+lib/syserrmsg
+ Added error messages for rmdir function (6/21/11)
+
+sys/fio/mkpkg
+sys/fio/frmdir.x
+ Added VOS routine to delete directories. (6/21/11)
+
+sys/fio/open.x
+sys/imio/immapz.x
+pkg/tbtables/tbtopn.x
+ Modified file open to handle URLs. If the filename begins with "http"
+ the file is downloaded to the cache and the cached file is opened. (6/24/11)
+
+unix/hlib/login.cl
+unix/hlib/mkiraf.csh
+unix/hlib/install
+ Added user-specific cache directory name. (6/26/11)

+ Updated to v2.16DEV (6/30/11)
+
+unix/os/zmaloc.c
+unix/os/zraloc.c
+ Number of bytes was being cast as (int) meaning allocations > 2GB were
+ not being handled properly (6/30/11)
+
+unix/os/zgcmdl.c
+ On OSX systems apps can no longer reliably get the environ pointer,
+ meaning we can't get the argv vector of arguments using the old method.
+ Ifdef'd the code to use the _NSGetArgv() and _NSGetArgc() methods to
+ get pointers to these values from the dynamic libs. Fixes a problem
+ with cmdline args from IMFORT programs. (7/15/11)
+
+sys/etc/votable.x
+ Added a new file of VOTable utility procedures. (7/15/11)
+
+unix/os/zfacss.c
+ Modified to check if non-existent file is a symlink, if so, return the
+ access status of the link itself (9/6/11)
+
+unix/hlib/iraf32.h
+unix/hlib/iraf64.h
+unix/hlib/libc/spp.h
+ Added definitions for SYMLINK_FILE type (9/6/11)

+ Modified to allow deletion of zombie symlinks (9/6/11)
+
+sys/fio/open.x
+sys/imio/immapz.x
+pkg/tbtables/tbtopn.x
+ Modified to handle file:// URIs (9/6/11)
+

+ Allowed file:// URIs, no longer confused with concatenation (9/6/11)
+
+sys/libc/strdup.c +
+sys/libc/proto.h
+unix/hlib/libc/libc.h
+ Added a binding for a strdup() function (9/14/11)
+
+*.hlp
+ Minor modifications to MANY help files to remove duplicate words (9/19/11)
+
+unix/hlib/login.cl
+ Added some (commented out) code to allow user control of SAMP startup
+ on login. The system-wide method is to turn on the 'samp_onstart'
+ variable in hlib$zzsetenv.def (9/21/11)
+
+ys/mwcs/wftnx.x
+sys/mwcs/wfzpx.x
+sys/mwcs/wfzpn.x
+ The maximum change revision (2/18/11) did not think through the units.
+ So the value was 1 degree which is probably too large. This was changed
+ to 30 arcsec.
+ (9/28/11, Valdes)
+
+sys/mwcs/mkpkg
+sys/mwcs/wfinit.x
+sys/mwcs/wftpv.x +
+ Added a new function driver for a WCS called TPV; tangent plane with
+ PV distortion coefficients as described by Calabretta & Greisen in 2000
+ (http://www.astromatic.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=271).
+ (9/28/11, Valdes)
+
+lib/syserr.h

+sys/etc/urlget.x
+ Added support for URL redirection (code 300) to access (10/5/11)
+
+system/system.hd
+system/system.men
+system/doc/bench.hlp
+ Added help page for the BENCH task, fixed src entry for SPY task. (10/24/11)
+
+util/fget
+ Added wrapper script around URLGET task that can be used as a backup
+ when there is no WGET command on the machine (11/19/11)

+pkg/tbtables/tbfnew.x
+pkg/tbtables/tbfopn.x
+pkg/tbtables/tbfpri.x
+pkg/tbtables/tbttyp.x
+ Commented out the equivalence statements being used to force alignment
+ of local variables. Was causing 64-bit problems. (12/1/11)
+
+pkg/tbtables/fitsio/fttdnn.f
+ Disabled NaN checking for this function. This was done previously for
+ the real-value function but missed for doubles. Will need to be
+ revisited once there is more time. (12/2/11)
+
+sys/imio/imrbpx.x
+ Fixed a problem with getting 'nearest' boundary extension values from
+ int images on 64-bit systems (12/14/11)
+
+sys/imio/iki/fxf/fxfupk.x
+ Fixed a problem on 64-bit systems where BITPIX=32 data with bscale/bzero
+ values was garbage values. Needed to unpack int array before scaling
+ (12/20/11)
+
+local/cache +
+local/login.cl
+ Updated the login.cl file for the iraf user, added a 'cache' directory
+ to be used for the account (1/4/12)
+
+unix/hlib/install
+ Turned off the installation of the /dev fifo pipes as a default since
+ these are rarely used any more. If needed, "install -f" will create
+ them on platforms that support FIFOs (1/15/12)
+
+unix/hlib/install
+ Added code to install the voclientd/voclient.jar files in the local
+ bindir as a symlink. (1/15/12)
+
+unix/hlib/iraf.h
+ Increased the size of SZ_FNAME to 511 to accomodate lengthy URLs. The
+ max HTTP URL size is typically 1024, but this seemed escessive (1/15/12)
+
+sys/etc/main.x
+ Added checks for a "hlib$zzsetenv.def" file or a file pointed to by an
+ 'irafinit' environment variable to set or override the system
+ zzsetenv.def file. The first case allows for an alternate 'hlib'
+ definition (as is used in the pipeline), the second for a file that
+ may only partially override the environment (1/17/12)

+ The pseudofile i/o to the graphics stream has been broken all this time.
+ When opening the GKI stream, set/get wcs etc the xmit packet is preceeded
+ with the file descriptor number, written as SZ_INT in the GKI code and
+ read as SZ_INT in the prpsio.x code. In cases where a 32-bit task binary
+ is being used on a 64-bit system, the CL is trying to read a 64-bit int
+ from a stream written with a 32-bit value, leading to a corrupted
+ descriptor number and usually a segfault. Modified so the descriptor is
+ written/read as SZ_INT32 to be compatible. (2/2/12)
+
+local/COPYRIGHTS
+local/LICENSES +
+ Modified the COPYRIGHTS statement and included the text for the CDDL
+ and UCAR licenses. As far as we now know, IRAF is now "free". (2/17/12)

+sys/imio/imflsh.x
+ Fixed a bug in which TY_INT images weren't being handled properly by

+ Added a new OSB routine ISCL32/ISCL64 that applies the FITS bscale/bzero
+ to pixel data. This is required in the FITS kernel where the buffer
+ is a XCHAR array but there are alignment issues on linux systems when
+ passing arrays between spp/C codes. (3/7/12)
+
+sys/imio/imt/imxexpand.x
+sys/imio/imt/imxpreproc.x
+ The use of "@file" and the contents of the file contained extns or

+ however the square brackets weren't being properly escaped when
+ passed to the fntgfn code to create the list. (3/9/12)

+ latest_src Update source code only
+ latest_core Update core system only
+ latest_noao Update NOAO package only
+ latest_vo Update VO package only
+
+ The 'iraf_latest' script is the workhorse for the update, but the details
+ of how the patches will be built or packaged are still TBD. Because the
+ first thing done is to update the build/util scripts, we can defer this
+ until the first release. (3/11/12)
+

+ There was still a problem with boundary extension using constant values.
+ For int data, the IM_OOBPIX value was being converted to int in impakr()
+ but was packed as a 32-bit value. However, it was not then being
+ unpacked to a 64-bit INT in imrbpx() as was done for the nearest pixel
+ values. (3/12/12)
