- Update to version 3.480:
* Now can handle parentheses in path names rather than
automatically interpreting them as output file specifiers.
* Fixed bug in imcompress.c that wasn't properly handling
conversion between float and double types when reading from a
gzip compressed float or double image.
* Fixed bug that was preventing use of bracket and parentheses
symbols in pathnames when opening multiple READWRITE files,
even when requesting no-extended-syntax usage. *This fix
necessitates a library interface version number change.
* Fixed bug in ffmnhd / fits_movnam_hdu to properly handle
wildcard syntax.
* Fixed bug in fits_open_extlist to handle filename[EXT] syntax
properly. The hdutype parameter may now be null. More
documentaion for this function is in cfitsio.tex.
* Added new function fits_copy_hdutab to create a new table with
the same structure as an existing table.
* fits_copy_col / ffcpcl handles long long integer data types
more natively to prevent precision loss.
* histo.c routines now recognize integer columns that have been
scaled by TSCALn keywords and may be closer to floating point
type.
* Added backward compatibility for very old Rice compressed files
which were not using the ZVAL2 keyword in the way that later
became standard.
* Change made to cfitsio.pc.in to prevent forcing downstream
libraries to link against cfitsio's dependencies when using
pkgconfig.
