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.
