There have been a few unannounced releases this year with minor changes

worth upgrading.

WCSLIB version 7.12 (2022/09/09)
--------------------------------

* C library

  - In wcsp2s() and wcss2p(), fixed handling of status returns from
    linp2x() and linx2p() relating to distortion functions, specifically
    with respect to setting the stat[] vector.  Reported by Sepideh
    Eskandarlou (via Mohammad Akhlaghi).

  - When extracting by axis type, wcssub() did not account for the
    possibility of time axes with -TAB or -LOG algorithm codes.
    Reported by Mihai Cara.

* Utilities

  - Fixed a bit of confusion in wcsgrid relating to cfitsio file opening
    syntax, e.g. file.fits+1.  It now matches wcsware in that regard.

  - Portability fix in sundazel - need to define _POSIX_C_SOURCE as
    199506L in order to get the declaration of localtime_r().  Reported
    by Marc Espie.

* User manual

  - Documentation generation moved to doxygen 1.9.5 (was 1.9.3).


WCSLIB version 7.11 (2022/04/26)
--------------------------------

* C library

  - In tabini(), the default index array should contain a 1-relative
    sequence: {1, 2,... N}.  Previously it was 0-relative.


WCSLIB version 7.10 (2022/04/24)
--------------------------------

* C library

  - In tabcpy(), collapse degenerate table index arrays if they are
    collapsed in the source struct.  Minor fix for output formatting
    in tabprt().

  - In the C test suite, added calls to wcstrim() in twcsfix to tidy
    the structs before printing.

* Utilities

  - The default option in wcsware now trims the wcsprm struct before
    printing it.  Use the '-p' option to print the untrimmed struct.


WCSLIB version 7.9 (2022/03/26)
-------------------------------

* C library

  - In wcsset(), bug fix for identifying time coordinate axes.
    Reported by Mihai Cara with patch.
