Main Changes in this Version
----------------------------

- Small memory leaks in Region and FitsChan classes have been fixed.

- A bug that could cause an internal buffer overrun within the FitsChan class
has been fixed.

- The test that a Mapping conforms to the requirements of the SIP FITS
distortion scheme has been improved.

- The astRebinSeq method of the Mapping class can now use a different
weight when pasting each separate input data array into the output mosaic.

Main Changes in V8.6.2
----------------------

- The astWrite method of the FitsChan class can now create FITS-WCS headers
that include keyords describing focal plane distortion using the
conventions of the Spitzer SIP scheme. This is however only possible if

The following describes the most significant changes which have
occurred in the AST library between versions V8.6.2 and V8.6.3 (the
current version):

\begin{enumerate}

\item Small memory leaks in Region and FitsChan classes have been fixed.

\item A bug that could cause an internal buffer overrun within the FitsChan
class when writing out a FITS-WCS spectral axis with the ``-LOG'' algorithm
has been fixed.

\item The test that a Mapping conforms to the requirements of the SIP FITS
distortion scheme has been improved.

\item The astRebinSeq method of the Mapping class can now use a different
weight when pasting each separate input data array into the output mosaic.

\end{enumerate}

Programs which are statically linked will need to be re-linked in
order to take advantage of these new facilities.
