- Update to version 3.310:
* Enhanced the CFITSIO column filtering syntax to allow the comma, in
addition to the semi-colon, to be used to separate clauses, for example:
[col X,Y;Z = max(X,Y)]. This was done because users are not allowed to
enter the semi-colon character in the on-line Hera data processing
system due to computer security concerns.
* Enhanced the CFITSIO extended filename syntax to allow specifying image
compression parameters (e.g. '[compress Rice]') when opening an existing
FITS file with write access. The specified compression parameters will
be used by default if more images are appended to the existing file.
* Modified drvrfile.c to do additional file secrity checks when CFITSIO
is running within the HEASARC's Hera software system. In this case
CFITSIO will not allow FITS files to be created outside of the user's
individual Hera data directory area.
* Fixed an issue in fpack and funpack on Windows machines, caused by
the fact that the 'rename' function behaves differently on Windows
in that it does not clobber an existing file, as it does on Unix
platforms.
* Fixed bug in the way byte-swapping was being performed when writing
integer*8 null values to an image or binary table column.
* Added the missing macro definition for fffree to fitsio.h.
* Modified the low level table read and write functions in getcol*.c and
putcol*.c to remove the 32-bit limitation on the number of elements.
These routines now support reading and writing more than 2**31 elements
at one time. Thanks to Keh-Cheng Chu (Stanford U.) for the patch.
* Modified Makefile.in so that the shared libcfitsio.so is linked against
pthreads and libm.
- Removed the fix to link the library to libpthread and libm from cfitsio.patch
(fixed upstream).
- Rebased cfitsio-zlib.patch to apply cleanly. Removed the linking of the
programs (fpack and funpack) to libz from the patch (not needed).
- Remove some more bundled zlib files from the package.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 9 19:30:17 UTC 2012 - asterios.dramis@gmail.com
- Renamed package from libcfitsio0 to cfitsio.
- Renamed subpackage libcfitsio-doc to libcfitsio-devel-doc (added obsoletes
entry for libcfitsio-doc of previous openSUSE versions).
- Suggest the libcfitsio-devel-doc package in libcfitsio-devel.
- Removed the requirement for libcfitsio0 from libcfitsio-(devel)-doc (not
needed).

- Update to version 3.300:
Enhancements
* Added new routine called fits_is_reentrant which returns 1 or 0 depending
on whether or not CFITSIO was compiled with the -D_REENTRANT directive.
This can be used to determine if it is safe to use CFITSIO in
multi-threaded programs.
* Implimented much faster byte-swapping algorithms in swapproc.c based on
code provided by Julian Taylor at ESO, Garching. These routines
significantly improve the FITS image read and write speed (by more than a
factor of 2 in some cases) on little-endian machines (e.g., Linux and
Microsoft Windows running on x86 PCs) where byte-swapping is required.
This has no effect on big-endian machines (e.g., Macs). Even faster
performance can be achieved in some cases by invoking the new
"--enable-sse2" or "--enable-ssse3" configure options when building CFITSIO
on machines that have CPUs and compilers that support the SSE2 and SSSE3
machine instructions.
* added additional support for implicit data type conversion in cases where
the floating point image has been losslessly compressed with gzip. The
pixels in these compressed images can now be read back as arrays of short,
int, and long integers as well as single and double precision
floating-point.
* modified fitsio2.h and f77_wrap.h to recognize IBM System z mainframes by
testing if __s390x__ or __s390__ is defined.
* small change to ffgcrd in getkey.c so that it supports reading a blank
keyword (e.g., a keyword whose name simply contains 8 space chracters).
Bug Fixes
* fixed a bug in imcomp_decompress_tile that caused the tile-compressed image
to be uncompressed incorrectly (even though the tile-compressed image
itself was written correctly) under the following specific conditions:
- the original FITS image has a "float" datatype (R*4)
- one or more of the image tiles cannot be compressed using the standard
quantization method and instead are losslessly compressed with gzip
- the pixels in these tiles are not all equal to zero (this bug does
affect tiles where all the pixels are equal to zero)
- the program that is reading the compressed image uses CFITSIO's
"implicit datatype conversion" feature to read the "float" image
back into an array of "double" pixel values.
If all these conditions are met, then the returned pixel values in the
affected image tiles will be garbage, with values often ranging
up to 10**34. Note that this bug does not affect the fpack/funpack
programs, because funpack does not use CFITSIO's implicit datatype
conversion feature when uncompressing the image.
- Replaced cfitsio-makefile.patch with cfitsio.patch (taken from Fedora). It's
the same patch with the addition of linking libcfitsio with libpthread and
libm (fixes possible errors with packages requiring libcfitsio0 and compiled
with the "--as-needed" flag).
- Added a patch (cfitsio-zlib.patch) to use system zlib (based on patches from
Fedora and Debian). Added zlib-devel in build depencdencies.
- Added a patch (implicit-pointer-decl.patch) to fix "implicit-pointer-decl"
rpm post build check warning.
- Moved "-lpthread" and added "-lz" in Libs.private: of cfitsio pkg-config
file.
- Removed "-fno-strict-aliasing" from CFLAGS.
- Don't install static libraries.

- Update to version 3.290:
Enhancements
* modified Makefile.in to allow configure to override the lib and include
destination directories.
* added (or restored actually) support for tile compression of 1-byte integer
images in imcomp_compress_tile. Support for that data type was overlooked
during recent updates to this routine.
* modified the fits_get_token command-line parsing routine to perform more
rigorous checks to determine if the token can be interpreted as a number
or not.
* made small modification to fpack.c to not allow the -i2f option (convert
image from integer to floating point) with the "-g -q 0" option (do lossless
gzip compression). It is more efficient to simply use the -g option alone.
* made modifications to fitsio.h and drvrfile.c to support reading and
writing large FITS files (> 2.1 GB) when building CFITSIO using
Microsoft Visual C++ on Windows platforms.
* added new WCS routine (ffgicsa) which returns the WCS keyword values
for a particular WCS version ('A' - 'Z').
Bug Fixes
* fixed a problem with multi-threaded apps that open/close FITS files
simultaneously by putting mutex locks around the call to
fits_already_open and in fits_clear_Fptr.
* fixed a bug when using the 'regfilter' function to select a subset of the
rows in a FITS table that have coordinates that lie within a specified
spatial region on the sky. This bug only affects the rarely used panda
(and epanda and bpanda) region shapes in which the region is defined by
the intersection of an annulus and a pie-shaped wedge. The previous code
(starting with version 3.181 of CFITSIO where support for the panda region
was first introduced) only worked correctly if the 2 angles that define
the wedge have values between -180 and +180. If not, then fewer rows than
expected may have been selected from the table.
* fixed the extended filename parser so that when creating a histogram by
binning 2 table columns, if a keyword or column name is given as the
weighting factor, then the output histrogram image will have a floating
point datatype, not the default integer datatype as is the case when no
weigth is specified (e.g. with a filename like
"myfile.fits[bin x,y; weight_column]"
* added fix to the code in imcompress.c to work around a problem with
dereferencing the value of a pointer, in cases where the address of
that pointer has not been defined (e.g., the nulval variable).
* modified the byte shuffling algorithm in fits_shuffle_8bytes to work
around a strange bug in the proprietary SunStudioExpress C compiler
under OpenSolaris.
* removed spurious messages on the CFITSIO error stack when opening a
FITS file with FTP (in drvrnet.c);
- Removed the Makefile.in changes from cfitsio-makefile.patch (fixed upstream).
- Spec file updates:
* Changed License entry to SPDX style.
* Enable multithreading support.

Mon Oct 15 10:21:31 CEST 2007 - lmichnovic@suse.cz
- update to version 3.06
* modified the imcopy.c utility program (to tile-compress images)
so that it writes the default EXTNAME = 'COMPRESSED_IMAGE'
keyword in the compressed images, to preserve the behavior of
earlier versions of imcopy.
* modified the angsep function in the FITS calculator (in eval.y)
to use haversines, instead of the 'law of cosines', to provide
more precision at small angles (< 0.1 arcsec).
* extensive changes to imcompress.c to fully support implicit
data type conversion when reading and writing arrays of data
to FITS images, where the data type of the array is not the
same as the data type of the FITS image. This includes
support for null pixels, and data scaling via the BSCALE and
BZERO keywords.
* rewrote the fits_read_tbl_coord routine in wcssub.c, that gets
the standard set of WCS keywords appropriate to a pair of
columns in a table, to better support the full set of
officially approved WCS keywords.
* made significant changes to histo.c, which creates an image by
binning columns of a table, to better translate the WCS
keywords in the table header into the WCS keywords that are
appropriate for an image HDU.
* modified imcompress.c so that when pixels are written to a
tile-compressed image, the appropriate BSCALE and BZERO values
of that image are applied. This fixes a bug in which writing
to an unsigned integer datatype image (with BZERO = 32768) was
not done correctly.
