Subject: [fitswcs] WCSLIB 8.5 released {External}
Message-ID: <20251209004615.6ea9ccc9@horus>

Greetings,

WCSLIB 8.5 is now available, together with all previous releases, from

  https://www.atnf.csiro.au/computing/software/wcs/wcslib-releases

Consequent on ATNF's revamp of their website, my FITSWCS/WCSLIB web page
has moved to

  https://www.atnf.csiro.au/computing/software/wcs

This will become the sole distribution point for WCSLIB, but for now
WCSLIB 8.5 is also available via ftp:

  ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/wcslib/wcslib-8.5.tar.bz2

For the first time, this release includes WCSLIB's RCS version files as
per the change log appended below.

WCSLIB version 8.5 (2025/12/06)
-------------------------------

WCSLIB's RCS version files are now included in the distribution thereby
providing a documented history of all changes made since v1.0.  They
will be found in RCS subdirectories in each code directory.  A small
number of discontinued files are preserved with their RCS version files
having a ',x' suffix instead of ',v'.

* C library

  - In linp2x(), quarantine NaN elements of the pixel coordinate vector
    from infecting non-NaN elements in the case where the PCij matrix is
    diagonal (noting that zero * NaN = NaN).  Likewise in linx2p().
    Reported by Thomas Robitaille with patch.

  - Quelled nuisance compiler warnings in wcspih() and wcsbth().

* User manual

  - Documentation generation moved to doxygen 1.15.0 (was 1.12.0).
    The makefile patches doxygen.sty as per my Doxygen bug report 11881.
