*Summary of important changes



The main improvements of this release are:

- SAS 16 has been compiled with the GNU C/C++ compiler collection GCC 6.2.0, including gfortran 6.2, used for compilation of the SAS fortran code instead of the so far used commercial NAG Fortran compiler. This change implied as well adopting the newest C++ and Fortran coding standards.
- The new task evqpb creates for any given EPIC Full Frame science exposure an event list containing the associated quiescent particle background (QPB). The task extracts it from the Filter Wheel Closed data (FWC). This instrumental background can be used for correcting spectra or images.
- The new metatask edetect_stack performs standardized EPIC source detection on overlapping fields of different observations (also Mosaic Mode ones). It is still in experimental stage, but it is expected to be the basis for a future catalogue of stacked observations with XMM-Newton.
- The new task implotregions produces EPIC thumbnail images (PNG, GIF) showing selected source and background extraction regions.
- The task epxrlcorr, performing corrections related to EPIC X-ray loading has been upgraded, optionally providing diagnostic output images. They can be used as visual tools to decide whether an observation is affected by X-ray loading.
- The task ebkgreg, introduced in SAS 15, determining the most suitable position of a circle region to get the background estimation of any source in an EPIC image, has been upgraded to work also with MOS data.
- The metatask eslewchain, in charge of Slew Data reduction, includes now source detection.
- The task rgsrmfgen, calculating the RGS response matrices, offers now a new (optional) RGS effective area correction, aiming to bring a quality improvement in the cross calibration between RGS1 and RGS2, first and second order.
- The new task rgsimageforbadpixfind is ancillary to the implementation of an alternative for RGS bad column finding, using the MOS task embadpixfind. This method is recommended only in case the user suspects that the profile of a bright emission line is distorted due to the false detection of a hot column.
- The esas collection of tasks for extended source analysis, is now fully coded in F90 (no F77 code included anymore). This is an important step for making it fully compliant with the rest of the SAS S/W. expected by the next SAS release.

This version is released in two 64-bit binary versions for Linux (RHEL 6.8 and Ubuntu 16) and two for MacOs (Yosemite and El Capitan). The versions released have been tested to run correctly on several other platforms (we provide some libraries where necessary together with the distribution).
As repeateadly announced, no 32-bit binary versions are released anymore.

As always, many other less important improvements and small bug fixes have taken place. 90 tasks have been upgraded all in all, with a total number of 229 sub-version changes. A detailed list follows further below. * New and withdrawn packages NEW: Package edetect_stack: version 0.1.1 [NEW]

	       BadPixPSFCorrector.cc,       temporary files are deleted
	       DetmapFilter.cc)             at the end of the run
	                                        (SPR-7412)

	   src/RegionFunctions.cc)	    when extracting FAST mode data
	   					(SPR-7342)

Version 1.92 - 2015-12-04 (RDS)
------------
	+ (src/BadPixelCorrector.cc)      - Uses the NEXT_TO_OFFSET_COLUMN
					    rather than CLOSE_TO_BAD_COLUMN
					    to interpret pixels lying next to
					    offset columns.  (SPR-7330)


Package asmooth: version 2.30 [was 2.29]

ChangeLog

Version 2.30 - 2016-09-05 (RDS)
----------------------
	src/asmooth_mod.f90	- changed to dfftw from sfftw in convolveByFft
				  to resolve problems with GCC 6

Version 2.29 - 2009-05-01 (MAS/LUX)
----------------------
- The new DEPENDency on fitsutils is added (1.0) and that on ssclib is upgraded to 4.8, to follow the change of the place of FITS-related libraries.
	

Package attcalc: version 4.37 [was 4.34]

ChangeLog

Version 4.37 - 2016-09-06 (AI)
---------------------------------
	- (src/attcalc_mod.f90) Initialization to null of all pointers that are passed
	to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the pointers,
	we get seg fault at run-time with gcc-6.2.	

Version 4.36 - 2016-07-20 (AI)
---------------------------------
	+ (src/attcalc_mod.f90) compatibility changes with gfortran applied.
	The Bmatrix is passed to C++ with a wrong array descriptor elements (dtype and triplet).
	Only if we create the local variable matrix, we can pass the right values to C++. Not clear
	why this is happening, we have to keep an eye on it.
	The OAL_toEulerAngles subrotutine has to be called with the matrix transpose.
	Otherwise, the C++ function handle the matrix elements in the wrong order. We
	have a similar effect in  rgslib(euler321_mod.f90) module. This problem also appears in
	eexpmap package (the code is duplicated...)
	+ (src/Makefile) gfrotran preprocessor macros added.
	
Version 4.35 - 2016-07-15 (AI)
---------------------------------
	+ (src/attcalc_mod.f90) gfortran compatibilty changes.
	
Version 4.34 - 2015-08-25 (RDS)
---------------------------------
 + (src/attcalc_mod.f90): Changed the use of the psi euler angle such that
 			  it subtracts rather than adds. This is only valid if
			  the BORESIGHT CCF contains PSI with a changed sign
			  (SCR-7265)


Package attfilter: version 1.3.3 [was 1.3.2]

ChangeLog

Version 1.3.3 - 2016-12-01 (AI)
------------
	+ (src/attfilter.cc) isnan extern macro removed.
	
Version 1.3.2 - 2010-04-01 (AI)
-------------
	+ (src/attfilter.cc) The data filter expression in "cut" method was created using
	the "toString" to convert start and stop time to strings variables. This "toString"
	method truncate the variable so we are losing time due to this conversion. We have
	changed "toString" method by double+stringstream definition.


Package badpixfind: version 1.40 [was 1.39]

ChangeLog

Version 1.40 - 2016-09-06 (AI)
--------------------------------
- (src/badpixfind_mod.f90) Initialization to null of all pointers that are passed
  to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the pointers,
  we get seg fault at run-time with gcc-6.2.	

Version 1.39 - 2014-04-08 (EC)
--------------------------------
- moved test/*.NEW to testprods/badpixfind_data
- removed unused binary data from test/


Package cal: version 3.239.2 [was 3.236.3]

---------------
	+ (f90/CalF90cxxGlue.cc) check of dope vector added to several methods
	+ (src/CalDataVector.h,CcdQuantumDataServer.cc,Redistribution.cc)
	gcc-6.2 compatibility changes
	+ (f90test) Initialization to null of all pointers that are passed
	to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the pointers,
	we get seg fault at run-time.	
	
Version 3.237 - 2016-06-30 (AI)
---------------
	+ (f90/CalF90cxxGlue.cc) gfortran compatibility
	chaged for Dope (array descriptor) structures.

Package caloalutils: version 1.112.2 [was 1.109.3]

ChangeLog

Version 1.112.2 - 2016-10-06 (RDS)
---------------
	+ src/Ccf.h: ADded new CCF 'FWC'

Version 1.112.1 -2016-09-09 (EO)
---------------
	+ src/PhysicalConstants.h: GNUC >= 6 since gcc 5.3.1 doesn ot use C++
	  2011 by default.

Version 1.112 - 2016-09-05 (RDS)
---------------
	+ src/PhysicalConstants.h: GCC 6 change from const -> constexpr
				
Version 1.111 - 2016-09-05 (RDS)
---------------
	Version for the delivery track - same as 1.110.1

Version 1.110.1 - 2016-08-26 (EO)
---------------
	+ src/caloaldefs.f90: For NAG Fortran the inclusion of the -fpp in all
	  compilations makes it more strict regarding formating. In this case
	  the file caloaldefs.f90 was full of empty lines between continued
	  statements (those ended with "&" signs), something that is
	  considered a syntax error only when compiled with -fpp. Once these
	  empty lines are suppressed, compilation works fine.

Version 1.110 - 2016-06-29 (AI)
---------------
	+ src/CalOalUtility.h: gfortran compatibility change
	for Dope (array descriptor) structures
	
Version 1.109.3 - 2014-11-13 (EO)
---------------
	+ src/xmm.h: stime.h replaced by stime_c.h after it has been renamed in
	  package utils.

	catalogue directory paths have been increased to 250 legnth.

Version 0.4.1 - 2016-10-10 (EO)
-------------
	+ Added missing test/testdata subdirectory to hold test fits files.

Version 0.4 - 2016-09-07 (AI)
-------------
- (src/cat_prepaux.f90) Parameters in catprep_read subrotuine  must
be declared as "inout" instead of "out", otherwise a seg-fault is
thrown out at run-time (gcc-6.2)	
	
Version 0.3.9 - 2014-03-30 (EC)
-------------
- Moved test/cat_data into testprods/test/catprep_data
- cleaned up some additional unused binary data


Package ccftools: version 1.35.1 [was 1.34.1]

ChangeLog

-------------	
	+ (src/common/dal_utilities.cc) There was a bug in the calculation of
	the number of elements in a string array. In Mac OSX (gcc 6.2) a seg.
	fault was thrown (don't undestand why Linux could cope with this bug...)

Version 1.191 - 2016-08-24 (RDS)
-------------	
	+ (src/dal_utilities.cc)     - Removed useless debug line

Version 1.190 - 2016-08-23 (RDS)
-------------	
	+ (src/ExtDal.cc) 	      - Changed array to arrayB to avoid

Package ebkgreg: version 0.7.2 [was 0.6.2]

ChangeLog

Version 0.7.2 - 2016-10-28 (JVP)
-----------
	+ Documentation updated

Version 0.7.1 - 2016-07-20 (JVP)
-----------
	+ Documentation updated

Version 0.7 - 2016-06-22 (JVP)
-----------
	+ (src/ebkgreg.cc	- In addition to PN, MOS1/2 cameras are also covered by this task.
	   src/ProcSrcList.cc	- Background extraction region is CIRCLE, or ANNULUS only for MOS1/2 in
	   src/Bkgreg.cc	  SmallWindow mode (PrimePartialW2/3) and the source is in the
	   src/Bkgreg.h		  central CCD (CCDnr = 1). In this case the annulus has always the same size
	   src/Lookupradius.cc	  and it covers the external CCDs, but enclosing the central CCD into the inner
	   src/Lookupradius.h	  radius of the annulus. Thus no counts from the central CCD are taken
	   config/ebkgreg.par	  into account for the background estimate.
				- Include instrument label: PN, M1, M2 in the Source List columns
				- Three new columns included in Source List:
				- Background extraction region shape: CIRCLE or ANNULUS
					- *_RAD1 ( = Circle radius or inner radius for Annulus)
					  *_RAD2 ( = 0 for Circle or outer radius for Annulus)
				- New output parameters for RAD1 and RAD2 (arcsec and detector units)
				- Pixel size set depending on the EPIC camera (pixsizePN = 4.18, pixsizeM1/2 = 1.10)

Version 0.6.2 - 2015-12-21 (JVP)
-----------
	+ No background region is produced if the background extraction radius is less than 3 pixels


Package eboxdetect: version 4.27.3 [was 4.25.1]

ChangeLog

Version 4.27.3 - 2016-12-03 (IT)
--------------
	+ Removed debugging comments from the code after testing v4.27.2.
	+ Updated documentation: Parameter withoffsets=yes (obsolete
	  eident offsets) yields a warning; no other effect anymore.

Version 4.27.2 - 2016-11-23 (IT)
--------------
	+ New algorithm to determine the subimages, in order to avoid
	  memory leaks which could lead to a large number of spurious
	  detections with the gfortran compiler. Tentatively removed the
	  obsolete support of eident offsets. Test version.

Version 4.27.1 - 2016-10-24 (IT)
--------------
	+ ebox_io.f90: fixed an old bug in the calculation of the degrees
	  of freedom of multiple observations, used for the equivalent
	  likelihoods per instrument and image. Has neither affected single
	  observations nor summary lines of the output table. SPR-7400.

Version 4.27 - 2016-09-30 (IT)
--------------
        + Parameter constraints: changed lower limit of parameter ecf
          from 0.001 to 0.0. Purpose: Fluxes can be set to zero (e.g. by
          edetect_stack), if no ecfs are defined.
	+ Number of detections in output list as informational output and
	  new fits keyword NDETECT. Minimum detection likelihood: LIKEMIN.
	  Pixel size: XBINSIZE, YBINSIZE.
	+ ebox_io.f90: Write summary line also if only one instrument is
	  active. Adjusted tests.
	+ edetect_io_box.f90: subimages via imagebuffersize: shift
	  reference point by -16 in x and in y (as in emldetect's
	  edetect_io_ml.f90) in order to make sure that subimages have
	  zero values in their edge rows and columns. "Chains" of spurious
	  detections between the subimage and the image edge may arise
	  otherwise.
	+ edetect_io_box.f90: Made determination of imbuff more concise.
        + DEPEND: updated to emldetect-7.0
	+ cf. SCR 7399: source detection on stacked observations


Version 4.26 - 2016-07-18 (AI)
--------------
	+ gfortran compatibiliy changes applied.
	
Version 4.25.2 - 2016-04-25 (IT)
--------------
        + Throw error "TooManyBands" if images for more than six energy
          bands and / or more than six pimin/pimax are provided. Documented
          error message and maximum number of bands and corrected typo in
          the documentation that resulted in a scrambled line on the
          "obsmode" parameter (SPR-7358 and SPR-7359).

Version 4.25.1 - 2015-10-01 (IT)
--------------
	+ Input data in detector coordinates: Use CDELT1L, CDELT2L
	  header keywords instead of CDELT1, CDELT2 in order to determine
	  the pixel size. For pn and MOS images in detector coordinates,
	  CDELT1/2 have different units.



Package edetect_chain: version 3.15 [was 3.14.1]

ChangeLog

Version 3.15 - 2016-09-30 (IT)
------------
	+ DEPEND: updated to emldetect-7.0 and esplinemap-5.0

Version 3.14.2 - 2016-04-25 (IT)
--------------
	+ Throw error messages if eboxdetect & emldetect limits on number
	  of images, energy bands etc. are exceeded. Test for
	  SAS_CCF. Repeat the maximum number of energy bands in the
	  parameter section of the documentation. (cf. SPR-7360)

Version 3.14.1 - 2015-02-19 (IT)
--------------
	+ Documentation: Updated default values of 10 parameters
	  (cf. SPR-7275); added missing constraints of four parameters.



Package edetect_stack: version 0.1.1 [NEW]

ChangeLog

Version 0.1.1 - 2016-10-20 (IT)
--------------------------
	+ test harness completed. Check whether tasks are run and output
	  source lists exist.
	+ minor code updates

Version 0.1 - 2016-10-07 (IT)
------------------------
        + Initial commit, comprising the perl files edetect_stack.pl and
	  stack_sourcelist.pl and a minimal test whether the edetect_stack
	  can be started. For details on the structure of the task,
	  consult the draft documentation.

Package eexpmap: version 4.11.1 [was 4.10.1]

ChangeLog

Version 4.11.1 - 2016-11-14 (AI)
------------	
	+ (src/eexpmap_mod.f90) Initialization to null (at declaration statement)
	of those pointer that will be used by the CAL to avoid seg fault in gfortran.

Version 4.11 - 2016-07-20 (AI)
------------
	+ (src/eexpmap_mod.f90) compatibility changes with gfortran applied.
	The Bmatrix is passed to C++ with a wrong array descriptor elements (dtype and triplet).
	Only if we create the local variable matrix, we can pass the right values to C++. Not clear
	why this is happening, we have to keep an eye on it.
	The OAL_toEulerAngles subrotutine has to be called with the matrix transpose.
	Otherwise, the C++ function handle the matrix elements in the wrong order. We
	have a similar effect in  rgslib(euler321_mod.f90) module.
	+ (src/Makefile) gfrotran preprocessor macros added.
	
Version 4.10.1 - 2015-12-16 (RDS)
------------
	+ test/expo_refima.fits.gz:

	Changed the template test exposure map back to give the same result as
	the calculation with the old boresight file (XMM_BORESIGHT_0015)


Package efftplot: version 2.20 [was 2.18.2]

ChangeLog

Version 2.20 - 2016-08-26 (EO)
------------
	+ src/Makefile: Added code to proccess Fortran preprocessor
	directives.
	+ DEPEND: Updated to sas-1.573 that implements new policy for
	preprocessor compilations.

Version 2.19.1 - 2016-08-25 (EO)
--------------
	+ src/Makefile: Removed ifeq to set F90FLAGS depending on Fortran
	  compiler. This was left unchanged in 2.19.
	+ DEPEND: sas 1.572 is required to build properly this version.

Version 2.19 - 2016-08-24 (EO)
------------
	+ src/efftplot_mod.f90: Added preprocessor directive ifdef
	 NAGf90Fortran before use f90_unix_proc to allow to load this NAG
	 Frotran supplied module only when NAG Fortran compiler is used.
	 This change is effective only after SAS configure includes
	 preprocessor capabilities (after sas-1.571). Otherwise a similar
	 functionality must be available in src/Makefile.
	 For NAG Fortran compiler, the inclussion of preprocessor switch -fpp
	 unveiled a syntax error in original line 324, a blank line after
	 "window         ",&
	 which has been removed.

Version 2.18.2 - 2012-19-04 (NW)
------------

	The coordinates given in the header of the output of efftplot
	are now displayed to .00 for RA and .0 for Dec. even when the
	(arc)seconds are inferior to 10, as requested in SPR 6714.

	+ Response manipulation functionality extracted to a new class (RMF.h)
	+ src/Efluxer.cc updated to use the new RMF class
	

Package ekstest: version 2.7 [was 2.5.1]

ChangeLog

Version 2.7 - 2016-08-26 (EO)
-----------
	+ src/Makefile: After changing the preprocessor policy for all Fortran
	  compilations, added code here to allow for inclussion of
	  NAG Fortran specific modules.
	+ DEPEND: Updated to sas-1.573.


Version 2.6 - 2016-08-25 (EO)
-----------
	+ src/ekstest_mod.f90: Added an "ifdef NAGf90Fortran - endif"
	  preprocessor directive around "use f90_unix_proc" to allow its
	  loading only when NAG Fortran compiler is used.
	+ DEPEND: Requires sas 1.572.


Version 2.5.1 - 2014-10-24 (RDS)
----------------------------
	Documentation update (lccorr -> epiclccorr) - SPR-7233

ChangeLog

Version 8.8 - 2016-09-08 (AI)
-------------
	+ (src/emenergy_mod.f90) Initialization to null of all pointers that
	are passed to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the
	pointers, we get seg fault at run-time with gcc-6.2.	

Version 8.7 - 2015-05-13 (AI)
-------------
	+ Documentation updated. SOC-SPR-7226 fixed
	

Package emevents: version 8.7 [was 8.4]

ChangeLog

Version 8.7 - 2016-09-07 (AI)
-----------
- (src/emevents_mod.f90) More pointers initialized to null...
	
Version 8.6 - 2016-09-06 (AI)
-----------
- (src/emevents_mod.f90) Initialization to null of all pointers that are passed
  to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the pointers,
  we get seg fault at run-time with gcc-6.2.	

Version 8.5 - 2016-07-18 (AI)
-----------
- gfortran compatibility change
	
Version 8.4 - 2006-01-27 (JB)
-----------

Package emframes: version 5.10 [was 5.8.1]

ChangeLog

Version 5.10 - 2016-09-06 (AI)
-------------
- (src/emframes_mod.f90) Initialization to null of all pointers that are passed
  to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the pointers,
  we get seg fault at run-time with gcc-6.2.	

Version 5.9 - 2016-07-18 (AI)
-------------
	+ (src/emframes_mod.f90) gfortran compatibility change applied.

Version 5.8.1 - 2010-03-10 (JB)
-------------
- Fix SPR 6600: problem with OBSID 0611180101 which occurred in timing mode
  when most frames were lost to counting mode.


Package emldetect: version 7.0.3 [was 6.0.4]

ChangeLog

Version 7.0.3 - 2016-11-08 (IT)
-------------
	+ fftpsf.f90: Sloppy indexing caused occasional segmentation
	  faults, in particular if emldetect is compiled with gfortran.
	  Also make sure that arrays are initialized with 0 for gfortran
	  compatibiliy. Fixes SPR-7405.

Version 7.0.2 - 2016-10-26 (IT)
-------------
	+ typo - sorry

Version 7.0.1 - 2016-10-24 (IT)
-------------
	+ eml_io.f90: fixed an old bug in the calculation of the degrees
	  of freedom of multiple observations, used for the equivalent
	  likelihoods per instrument and image. Has neither affected single
	  observations nor summary lines of the output table. SPR-7400.
	+ documentation updated

Version 7.0 - 2016-09-30 (IT)
------------
        + new parameter "withrawrows" for processing of stacked images
	  (expert-only use):
	  Include additional rows in the output source list per image in
	  which the source was detected, in case the source position is
	  within the detection mask of the observation / image
	  set. Additional rows are identified by a modified ID_INST,
	  composed of the observation ID followed by the instrument
	  number. ID_INST becomes double precision displayed as a long
	  integer in this case and the usual integer in the default
	  case. Store EXP_IDs in new keywords EXP_ID_INn with n giving the
	  first digits of the modified ID_INSTs.  Consequences: New global
	  variable "exp_id", argument to get_files.  Flag "rawflag" in
	  subroutine mlout.
        + Parameter constraints: changed lower limit of parameter ecf from
          0.001 to 0.0. Purpose: Fluxes can be set to zero
          (e.g. by edetect_stack), if no ecfs are defined.
	+ Header keywords HRPNDEF, HRM1DEF, HRM2DEF added: will be read by
	  edetect_stack.
	+ emldata.f90: increased max_events and max_sou
	+ edetect_io_ml.f90: increased max_ins and max_ima
	+ emldetect_mod.f90: throw error message, if number of photons
	  exceeds max_events (-> make it clearer to users)
	+ edetect_io.f90: same for max_ins
	+ eml_io.f90: number of detections in output source list as new
	  informational output at high verbosity level and header keyword
	  NDETECT. Minimum detection likelihood: LIKEMIN.  Pixel size:
	  XBINSIZE, YBINSIZE (to be consistent with eboxdetect headers).
	+ eml_io.f90: check whether coordinate columns are NULL.
	  Motivation: allow to use srcmatch lists as input source lists in
	  which X_IMA Y_IMA are NULL and RA, DEC non-NULL.
	  Caveat: emldetect sorts the input list according to its SIGMA or
	  LIKE or DET_ML or WCORR column. srcmatch input lists remain
	  unsorted thus.
	+ eml_io.f90: Show a warning if none of these four likelihood
	  columns is found in the input list.
	+ emldata.f90: changed dimension of hrdef and xiddef from
	  (...,max_ins) to (...,3): pn, m1, m2
	+ emlfit.f90: Runtime improvements for large arrays (loops).
	+ fftpsf.f90: More concise and thus faster version of the
	  re-binning. Source parameters may change slightly compared to
	  the previous version because of the limited number precision.
	+ edetect_io_ml.f90: Made determination of imbuff more concise.
	+ config/emldetect.par: sort parameters for better readability;
	  separate single values from lists, mandatory from obsolete.
	+ Cleaned code in comments sections for better readability:
	  Removed old code versions of before ~2006 and debugging
	  "write"s. They can be still accessed in the archive.
	+ cf. SCR 7399: source detection on stacked observations


Version 6.3 - 2016-09-08 (AI)
--------------
	+ (src/edetect_io_ml.f90) Initialization of pointers using
	"nullify" statement instead of using "=> null()" initialization
	at pointer declaration. NAGWare 5.2 gives wrong array sizes for ChipX,ChipY,
	theta and phi pointers if we use the "=> null()" statemtent, but it gives
	correct array sizes if we initialize the pointers with "nullify()" statement.
	With gcc-6.2 both initizalization gives correct results.

Version 6.2 - 2016-09-07 (AI)
--------------
	+ (src/eml_io.f90) Initialization to null of all pointers that are passed
	to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the pointers,
	we get seg fault at run-time with gcc-6.2.	
	
Version 6.1 - 2016-07-18 (AI)
--------------
	+ (src/eml_io.f90) gfortran compatibility changes applied.

Version 6.0.5 - 2016-04-25 (IT)
--------------
	+ Throw error "TooManyBands" if images for more than six energy
	  bands and / or more than six pimin/pimax are provided. Documented
	  error message and maximum number of bands (cf. SPR-7358 on
	  eboxdetect).

Version 6.0.4 - 2016-01-25 (IT)
------------
        + Documentation: Expanded description of fluxes and ECFs
          (SPR-7306). Re-structured the description section.


Package emosaic: version 1.17 [was 1.16]

ChangeLog

Version 1.17 - 2016-03-16 (JVP)
--------------
	+ Update documentation typo: \task{DAL}-supported by \task{dal}-supported ( SPR-7262  )

Version 1.16 - 2011-04-26 (RDS)
--------------
	+ src/emosaic_mod.f90	

- Made compatible with image and mask files. It uses the PRIMARY array if
found, otherwise it uses the MASK array or throws an error.
					(SCR-314)


Package emosaicproc: version 0.4.1 [was 0.4]

ChangeLog

Version 0.4.1 - 2016-03-28 (AI)

Version 0.4 - 2015-12-04 (AI)
-----------
	+  Inconsistent order of input images sets and pi ranges fixed in the the call
	to emldetect and eboxdetect. (SOC-SPR-7290) closed
	

Package emsaplib: version 2.31.1 [was 2.30]

ChangeLog

Version 2.31.1 - 2016-12-05 (AI)
------------
	+ (test/testEnergyCombinef90 & test/runemutils.f90) pointers, that are
	passed to C++ interface, initialized to null to avoid seg. faults with
	gfortran.
	
Version 2.31 - 2016-07-18 (AI)
------------
	+ (src/CalF90cxxGlue.cc) gfortran compatibility changes regarding
	array descriptor (dope vector) definitions.
	+ (scripts/compare_realcols_mod.f90) "public" statement added to
	compare_realcols subrotutine
	
Version 2.30 - 2015-11-18 (AI)
------------
	+  New compatibility with RGS images to detect hot pixels and columns
	

Package epatplot: version 1.20 [was 1.19]

ChangeLog

Version 1.20 - 2016-09-16 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epatplot_mod.f90): warning if empty EVENTS extension

Version 1.19 - 2013-11-14 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epatplot_mod.f90): plot also real-valued SRCPOSX and SRCPOSY for
   EPIC-pn if new parameter "withsrcxy=Y" (default "Y") and SRCPOSX and
   SRCPOSY keywords found in event file header
- (config/epatplot.*): as above
- (doc/epatplot_description): as above


Package epchain: version 8.76 [was 8.75]

ChangeLog

Version 8.76 - 2016-07-15 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epchain): added parameter "withxrlimage" (task "epxrlcorr", default "N")
   that controls creation of a diagnostic X-ray loading image image (SCR-7114)
- (config/epchain.*): as above
- (doc/epchain_description.tex): as above
- (DEPEND): needs `epxrlcorr-1.0'

Version 8.75 - 2015-04-01 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epchain): allow input list of offset maps (instead of the ones
  identified by the OAL, or sometimes not identified ;-)
  This is useful in the case when the offset maps were dumped before or after
  the observation with different ObsID (e.g., early mission data, slews, ...)
  Moreover, this new feature enables calibration work without changing contents
  of ODF/SDF data or CCF files. The new interface is used in task "epreject".
  This is controlled via new boolean parameter "withoffsetlist" (default "N")
  that takes precendence over "withoffsetmap" if set to "Y": it opens the file
  specified in new parameter "odilist" and reads the ODI name to be used
  from there. The input list is an ASCII with 2-digit CCD number followed
  by a blank and then the path to the offset map for that CCD (there can be
  more than one offset map in that file so that the input file can be used
  for the whole observation processing; only the first entry for a particular
  CCD is used; the order does not matter). (SCR-7284)
- (config/epchain.*): as above
- (doc/epchain_description.tex): as above
- (DEPEND): needs `epreject-5.16'


Package epevents: version 6.50.1 [was 6.49.10]

ChangeLog

Version 6.50.1 - 2016-10-27 (RDS)
----------------------------------
- (src/epevents_mod.f90) Initialization to zero of ipat4 array
			 (SPR-7401)

Version 6.50 - 2016-00-06 (AI)
----------------------------------
- (src/epevents_mod.f90) Initialization to null of all pointers that are passed
  to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the pointers,
  we get seg fault at run-time with gcc-6.2.	

Version 6.49.10 - 2016-01-24 (MJF)
----------------------------------
- (src/epevents_mod.f90): complete change to avoid I*1 overflow
  to allow compilation with NAG-6.0 compiler on Mac-OSX


Package epexposure: version 0.14 [was 0.13]

ChangeLog

Version 0.14 - 2016-09-16 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epexposure_mod.f90): take care of empty input EVENTS extension

Version 0.13 - 2014-05-26 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epexposure_mod.f90): special warning "offsetCorrectionNotHomogeneous"
  if applied offset corrections for the CCDs are not the same
  (SOC/SAS-SCR-7199)
- (DEPEND): needs "epreject-5.15"


Package epframes: version 8.109.1 [was 8.106]

ChangeLog

Version 8.109.1 - 2016-10-09 (MJF)
----------------------------------
- (src/epframes_mod.f90): disable dummy HK extensions at compile time

Version 8.109 - 2016-09-06 (AI)
---------------
- (src/epframes_mod.f90) Initialization to null of all pointers that are passed
  to C++ (Dope vectors). If we do not initizialize the pointers,
  we get seg fault at run-time with gcc-6.2.	

Version 8.108.1 - 2016-08-26 (EO)
---------------
	+ src/epframes_mod.f90: Due to the introduction in the SAS configure
	  of the "-cpp" option for Fortran code preprocessing, the compiler is
	  more strict with syntax rules.
	  The line 6066 is a comment line but contains a "\" at the end of the
	  line. When this code is fed to the gfortran compiler with the -cpp
	  option, the preprocessor interprets it as a continuation sign, hence,
	  the following line, which is an "if ... then" statement, is not taken as
	  such. The consequence is that the "endif" at 6660 is interpreted
	  as orphan and a syntax error is issued. By removing the "\",
	  everything is fine.

Version 8.108 - 2016-07-20 (MJF)
--------------------------------
- (src/epframes_mod.f90): remove obsolete statement "use f90_unix_env"
- (src/epframes_mod.f90): added dummy HK extensions output for interface
  development of intra-exposure corrections based on HK (SCR-7312)

Version 8.107 - 2016-07-19 (MJF)
--------------------------------
- (src/epframes_mod.f90): check E_Cx_IVDDA (related to NCR-138)
- (src/epframes_mod.f90): gfortran compatibility change related to environment
  variable SAS_JUMP_TOLERANCE: getenv() -> get_environment_variable()
- (src/epframes_mod.f90): compare CAL and enviroment JUMP_TOLERANCE values

Version 8.106 - 2015-10-14 (RDS)
--------------------------------
- (doc/epframes_description.tex): improved description of JUMP tolerance
					(SPR-7056)

   SourcePositionOnDetector() for real-valued CCD coordinates
- (DEPEND): needs "cal-3.216"


Package epreject: version 5.17 [was 5.16]

ChangeLog

Version 5.17 - 2016-05-06 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epreject_mod.f90): test on existence and completeness of offset map
  list introduced in previous version. Write also keyword OFSTFILE to EXPSOURE
  extension as the used offset map may originate from a different ODF.

Version 5.16 - 2015-03-24 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epreject_mod.f90): allow input list of offset maps (instead of the ones
  identified by the OAL, or sometimes not identified ;-)
  This is useful in the case when the offset maps were dumped before or after
  the observation with different ObsID (e.g., early mission data, slews, ...)
  Moreover, this new feature enables calibration work without changing contents

  This is controlled via new boolean parameter "withoffsetlist" (default "N")
  that takes precedence over "withoffsetmap" if set to "Y": it opens the file

Package sas: version 1.580.1 [was 1.564]

ChangeLog

Version 1.580.1 - 2017-01-12 (EO)
---------------
	+ configure_install: Fix perlsed when SAS_PERL is selected.

Version 1.580 - 2017-01-10 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure_install: Function identify_perl enhanced to handle
	  hardcoded "/usr/local/bin/perl" she-bangs, perl scripts with
	  non-printable hidden characters and additional blank space between
	  she-bang "#!" and the perl binary location.

Version 1.579 - 2016-12-16 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure_install:
	  - Fixed identify_perl and change_perl functions
	    to improve detection and change of the perl shebang.
	  - Better identification of errors.

Version 1.578 - 2016-11-17 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in:
	  - Removed "-Wc,-fno-common" link option to be passed to
	  GNU g++ linker on Mac OS X. This is not used in Linux and prevented the
	  use of named common blocks from different objects that will form part of
	  a shared library.

Version 1.577 - 2016-10-28 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in: Added checking on whether GFORTRAN version is greater
	  or equal to 5 or not. If not issue WARNING notice on some Fortran
	  2003 standards will not be supported, e.g. IEEE_ARITHMETIC module
	  used in omcat.

Version 1.576 - 2016-10-13 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in: Reinstated missing F90VERSION variable.
	+ sas.environment.in: Replaced GFORTRAN_VERSION by GFORTRANVERSION as
	  this is now the new name of the old variable.
	+ packagedetails.html.in: Replaced GFORTRAN_VERSION by GFORTRANVERSION
	  as this is now the new name of the old variable.

Version 1.575 - 2016-10-11 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in: Fixed definition of Makefile variable F90.

Version 1.574 - 2016-10-10 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in:
	  - No Fortran compiler by default. Both USENAGFORTRAN and USEGFORTRAN
	    are set to "no" by default. Therefore, we must use either
	    --with-nagfor   -> NAG Fortran compiler
	    --with-gfortran -> GNU Fortran compiler
	  - f95 is not tested anymore to avoid confusion of old f95 from NAG
	    with soft link to gfortran.
	  - NAG Fortran compiler is searched as nagfor.
	  - NAG Fortran compiler license availability is tested when the NAG
	    Fortran compiler is set to use.
	  - Removed -Wall for gfortran.
	+ test/tesconfiguremake: The configure now runs with the same options
	  used in the reference build.
	+ AKA: 16.0.0 => Start of release mode for SAS 16.0.0.
	

Version 1.573 - 2016-08-26 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in: Given the consequences on source code syntax
	  produced by using -fpp (NAG) or -cpp (GNU) preprocessor switches
	  on all Fortran compilations, we have decided to remove them from
	  SASF90FLAGS and SASFFLAGS.
	  Just for reference of what we have found so far here are two cases
	  which we have observed:
	  - Blank lines can not be used between continuation lines (ended
	  by &).
	  - Standard Fortran comment lines (started with !) can not be ended
	  with character "\" because this is the preprocessor character used
	  to continue preprocessor lines (those started with #).
	  Therefore, Fortran preprocessor directives MUST be processed by
	  means of code inlcuded ONLY in the individual source Makefiles
	  (src/Makefile).
	
	  A good example is the following, that is used to allow to process
	  the use of the "f90_unix_proc" module only by the NAG Fortran compiler:
	
	  ifeq ($(USENAGFORTRAN),yes)
	  	F90FLAGS += -fpp -DNAGf90Fortran
	  else
	  	F90FLAGS += -cpp -DGFORTRAN
	  endif
	
	  This code must be placed after the statement

	  include $(SAS_DIR)Make.include


Version 1.572 - 2016-08-25 (EO)
	+ configure.in: Changes to this file introduced in previous version
	  were not made effective due to forgeting to run the update-configure
	  script.

Version 1.571 - 2016-08-24 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in: Added preprocessor switches to both NAG and GNU
	  Fortran compiler compilation flags, SASF90FLAGS, to allow for
	  processing conditional compilation preprocessor directives
	  embeded in the code, as for example
	      #ifdef NAGf90Fortran
	      use f90_unix_proc
	      #endif
	  which will load NAG supplied module f90_unix_proc only when NAG
	  Fortran compiler is used (when the macro NAGf90Fortran is included
	  in F90FLAGS).
	  The preprocessor switch is also added to SASFFLAGS.
	  Given that NAG Fortran compiler is still the default Fortran
	  compiler, the default compilation flags SASF90FLAGS and SASFFLAGS
	  include now the macro -DNAGf90Fortran.
	  This change makes innecessary any possible changes included in local
	  Makefile.

Version 1.570 - 2016-08-23 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in: Added -DGFORTRAN to SASFFLAGS to avoid missing this
	  macro when building .f Fortran programs, e.g. saltec.
	  Aligned the SASF90FLAGS and SASFFLAGS used for Mac OS X with these
	  for Linux. This operation implied to add -Wall, -fno-range-check and
	  -DGFORTRAN to SASF90FLAGS and -Wall, -fno-range-check and -DGFORTRAN
	  to SASFFLAGS.

Version 1.569 - 2016-08-23 (EO)
-------------
	+ bin/f90depend: Looking for Fortran compiler dependencies, exclude
	  any NAG Fortran supplied modules (f90_*) when NAG Fortran compiler
	  is in use. This situation occurs when the NAG Fortran "lib"
	  subdirectory (which is part of the NAG Fortran installation) is
	  included in the list of include directories passed to the script as
	  first argument ($(F90INCFLAGS)). This variable is defined in the SAS Makefile
	  and includes the NAGWare "lib" subdir only when USENAGFORTRAN is set to "yes".
	  Script documentation updated.

Version 1.568 - 2016-07-12 (RDS)
-------------
	+ bin/sastaskhdr_nag, bin/sastaskhdr_gfortran:	
	  - Split the sastaskhdr script into two parts so that the
	    module names are set as:
	    NAGf90Fortran: $1_mod_MP_$1
	    gFortran: __$1_mod_MOD_$1

	+ Make.include.in:
	    uses one of the two sastaskhdr scripts depending on the compiler
	    in use

Version 1.567 - 2016-06-29 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in:
	  - Added -DGFORTRAN to SASCXXFLAGS when -with-gfortran is used (pending change
	    from previous changes to configure.in).
	  - Added -fno-range-check to SASFFLAGS to support gfortran usage.

Version 1.566 - 2016-04-06 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in:
	  - Added GFORTRAN macro to CXXFLAGS and SASCXXFLAGS
	  to include specific defintions when the GNU Fortran compiler
	  is used (--with-gfortran).
	  - Cleaning up of obsolete code.
	  - Removed g77 and libf2c.
	  - For Mac OS X : Added -bind_at_load option to build shared
	  libraries.
	+ configure_install: Added missing "\" before $platform in setsas.csh.

Version 1.565 - 2016-02-09 (EO)
-------------
	+ AKA = 16.0.0-devel
	+ configure.in: 16.0.0-devel

Version 1.564 - 2015-12-11 (EO)
-------------
	+ configure.in: Cleaned from obsolete code.
	+ Make.include.in: Changed sed field separators from / to ? to fix the
	  problem of replacing -sasperl- by $$PT, given that $$PT
	  is a path and includes / as directory separators.


Package saslib: version 1.87.1 [was 1.87]

ChangeLog

Version 1.87.1 - 2016-11-30 (RDS)
------------
	+ (lib/saslib/md5global.h)  Define UINT4 properly for 64-bit machines
					(SPR-7410)

Version 1.87 - 2012-01-17 (AI)
------------
	+ (lib/saslib/md5global.h)  Fix the MD5 error in 64-bit platforms.
	 In 64-bit, longs are 64-bit, not 32-bit. The definition of UINT4
	has to change depending on the platform.


Package selectlib: version 4.74.1 [was 4.73]

ChangeLog

Version 4.74.1 - 2016-11-30 (AI)
--------------
	+ (src/selcore/NumericFunctors.cc) Removed an isnan extern macro that was giving an
	error in MAC OSX (gcc 6.2) compilation.
	
Version 4.74 - 2016-30-08 (AI)
--------------
	+ (src/selcore/Evaluator.cc) Conditional expression in input attibute of
	lexinit method call removed (gcc-6.1 throws a run time error) and
	now the contional expression is evaluated outside the method call.
	
Version 4.73 - 2015-13-03 (AI)
--------------
	+ src/selcore/VectorFunctors.cc: The inner product of the median spacecraft attitude and the
	current spacecraft attitude vectors can end up with a value greater than 1.0 (error propagation).
	If this is the case, the ConeFilterLogic is wrong and the attitude is discared from the GTI returned by attfilter.
	The result of the inner product is checked and if it is greater than one, the value is reseted to 1.0.
	

Package srcdisplay: version 1.19.1 [was 1.19]

ChangeLog

Version 1.19.1 - 2016-12-07 (AI)
------------
	+ (src/srcdisplay.cc) Temporary string object is created to hold the
	const char pointer.

Version 1.19 - 2014-01-22 (RDS)
------------
        + src/srcdisplay.cc		- added option to use the positional
	+ src/SourceList.cc/h		- error from the source list to
	+ Documentation			- determine the source radius
					  (SPR-7170)


Package srcmatch: version 3.20 [was 3.18.1]

ChangeLog

Version 3.20 - 2016-09-30 (IT)
------------
	+ srcmatch_io.f90: handle eboxdetect source lists
	+ srcmatch_mod.f90: no html file will be written if parameter
	  htmloutput is empty (used by edetect_stack)
	+ srcmatch_mod.f90: negative values of maxerr are interpreted as
	  absolute offsets in arcsec. This feature is meant to stay
	  experimental and therefore not fully included in the documentation.
	+ srcmatch_def.f90, srcmatch_io.f90: increased internal parameter
	  max_nsets from 9 to 60 for use within edetect_stack and adjusted
	  column names (intended for usage within edetect_stack only)
	+ srcmatch_io.f90: informational output of the number of sources
	  in the final list at higher verbosity levels.
	+ cf. SCR 7399: source detection on stacked observations


Version 3.19 - 2016-07-14 (AI)
------------
	+ (src/srcmatch_mod.f90) gfortran compatibility changes.
	+ (src/Makefile) Preprocessor statement added
	
Version 3.18.1 - 2015-08-19 (IT)
------------
	+ srcmatch_mod.f90, subroutine srcmatch: increased maximum length
	  of output file names to 1024 (consistent with other
	  source-detection tasks).

		Also removed hard error when CUNITs not set and
		transform is not RA---TAN
		(SCR-7300)


Package taskmain: version 1.95 [was 1.93]

ChangeLog

Version 1.95 - 2016-04-30 (AI)
------------
	+ (src/main.cc task_c.cc) gfortan compatibility changes
	
Version 1.94 - 2016-03-18 (EO)
------------
	+ DEPEND: Added dependency on sasperl to fix a failure to find
	  SAS::Error perl module while running the test runperltask.
	  This dependency appeared when building a reduced set of packages
	  where sasperl package is not included.

Version 1.93 - 2015-12-04 (EO)
------------
	+ src/main.pl: The sha-bang for perl (/usr/local/bin/perl) is now the variable
	  -sasperl-, which, like other variables in this file which are
	  eclosed by "-", it is replaced at build time by the proper value.
	   -sasperl- is replaced by the PERL determined by the SAS configure.
	   PERL can be either equal to a SAS_PERL value defined by the user or
	   determined among several possible perl installations:
	   /usr/bin/perl, /usr/local/bin/perl, /sw/bin/perl and /opt/local/bin/perl,
	   the last two only valid for Darwin.

Package utils: version 1.136.3 [was 1.131]

ChangeLog

Version 1.136.3 - 2016-10-27 (EO)
---------------
	+ leapsecdata/leapsecs.dat: Added 1 sec to TAI-UTC:
	  TAI-UTC = 37s (From 2017-01-01 0h UTC).
	  IERS (Int. Earth Rotation and Ref. Syst. Service ) Bulletin C 52,
	  Observatoire de Paris, 6 July 2016
	  (services.iers@obspm.fr/http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc).

Version 1.136.2 - 2016-09-09 (EO)
---------------
	+ src/STime.h: Builds on venus(IFCA, Santander) made with GNU C/C++
	  5.3.1 demonstrated that even with this version, the default C++ 2011
	  is not in effect. As for 4.8.5, 5.3.1 requires option -std=c++11 to
	  understand C++ 2011. Therefore, GNUC variable must be >= 6 to apply
	  constexpr.

Version 1.136.1 - 2016-08-23 (EO)
---------------
	+ src/STime.h: Amended to allow also for GNU C++ version greater or
	  equal to 5 (__GNU__ >= 5).

Version 1.136 - 2016-08-22 (EO)
-------------
	+ src/STime.h: In C++ 2011, the float and double are not
	of integral or enumeration type, therefore the initializer of a class must use
	constexpr instead of const. C++11 is the default (-std=c++11 or
	-std=gnu++11) since GNU C/C++ version 5. Thus, to keep code compatible
	with earlier versions of GNU C++, the constexpr is selected only if
	__GNUC__ macro is greater than 5.

Version 1.135 - 2016-07-21 (AI)
-------------
	+ Roll-back to major number 1.XXX. Code same as version 2.0.

Version 2.0 - 2016-07-21 (AI)
-------------
	+ (test/testf90cxx.cc) gfortran compatibility regarding array
	descriptors applied.
	
Version 1.134 - 2016-06-30 (AI)
-------------
	+ (src/f90cxx.h): Dependecy to libgfortran.h removed. Define GFC_DTYPE_TYPE_SHIFT
	statement copied from libgfortran.h to f90cxx.h
	
Version 1.133 - 2016-06-29 (AI)
-------------
	+ Version 1.133 identical to 1.2

Version 1.2 - 2016-06-29 (AI)
-------------
	+ src/f90cxx.h: New Dope (Array descriptor) definitions compatible
	with gfortran compiler.
	
Version 1.132 - 2016-03-22 (EO)
-------------
	+ src/cfortran.h: Until now we have used cfortran.h version 4.1
	  1990-1998, from Burkhard Burow (burow@desy.de), to deal with
	  the interface between C (C++) and Fortran. That version supported
	  NAG Fortran but was not prepared to work with GNU Fortran.
	  We have looked for an updated version of this file that could be
	  able to work with GNU Fortran. That updated version is version 4.4,
	  which is an improved version of the original version 4.1 but
	  has been maintained by HEASARC Kevin McCarty et al, at least until 2008.
	+ src/f90cxx.h: Removed obsolete code that was enabled only if SUNCC
	  and SUNF90 macros were defined previously. These definitions were
	  used to support using Sun C/C++ and Sun F90 Fortran compilers.
	  The definition of NAGF90 and GNUCC, within the file itself was absurd.
	The only solution to switch on/off specific pieces of code is to
	  do it through the configure.
	  After checking in the SAS configure, the only macro defined when NAG Fortran
	  is used is NAGf90Fortran, also used to select specific code in cfortran.h.
	  There is no similar counterpart for GNU Fortran.
	  To be able to enable the definitions of f90_io_init and f90_io_finish, only
	  when NAG Fortran is used, we have set then within a block of preprocessor
	  #ifdef-#endif block. The remaining definitions are left enabled always,
	  either for NAG Fortran or GNU Fortran.
	  Further testing will tell us how we have to modify this and possibly other
