WCSLIB version 8.8 (2026/05/22)
-------------------------------

* C library

  - In tabini(), persuant to the previous revision, when checking that
    the total number of elements in the coordinate array does not exceed
    INT_MAX, we need to allow for the possibility that K[m] == 0 for all
    m, meaning that the axis lengths are as yet unknown.  Reported by
    Thomas Robitaille with patch.
