Subject: Production version of Karma (v1.7.25) available

  Hi, all. I have updated the production version of Karma to
v1.7.25. This is available on the WWW from:

    http://www.atnf.csiro.au/karma/ftp.html

The PostScript user manual is available at:
ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/karma/user-manual.ps.gz

NOTE: The <khuei> tool is now obsolete, as its functionality has
        been added to the <kvis> tool. The <khuei> tool will be
        removed in the next release.

NOTE: i386_Darwin support has been added. This currently uses the
        emulation layer in MacOS, so performance may suffer on the
        Intel-based Mac systems.

NOTE: due to temporary access problems, the MacOS binaries were built
        on a MacOS 10.4.7 system, whereas previously they were built
        on a MacOS 10.3.x system. Please report any problems on older
        systems.

What you get:

- Memory optimisations when resizing windows

- Small improvement for progress meter

- Fixed bug when displaying on a screen with only 8-bit visuals

- Added support for mouse scroll wheel to scrollable lists (file
  browser, data browser, colourmap control, etc.)

- Added '+' sign when showing velocities in axis labelling

- Fixed offset problem when drawing axis labels with FELO axis

- Do not assume J2000 if EQUINOX/EPOCH keywords are not given, instead
  leave as unspecified

- Added "Draw Circle" feature to kvis so that image scale can be seen

- Improved the way the decimator control panel retains settings

- Extended cross-window cursor tracking in <kvis> to draw line markers
  when only one co-ordinate matches

- Fixed bugs in <khuei> which could cause crashes under some conditions

- Added Hue-Intensity support to <kvis>

                                Regards,

                                        Richard....

Subject: Production version of Karma (v1.7.23) available

  Hi, all. I have updated the production version of Karma to
v1.7.23. This is available on the WWW from:

    http://www.atnf.csiro.au/karma/ftp.html

and for anonymous ftp from:
    ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/karma/current/

The PostScript user manual is available at:
ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/karma/user-manual.ps.gz

What you get:

- Recognised "SFL" as synonym for "GLS" projection

- New variant of data replacement feature in <kvis> which does not
  retain settings of old dataset (intensity range, contour levels,
  etc.). This uses the '~' key, rather than the '=' key

- Fixed bug when displaying on a screen with only 16-bit visuals

- Improved progress meter for decimator widget

- Fixed bug in <kvis> when displaying on a screen with 8 and 24-bit
  visuals and when the default visual is 8-bit

                                Regards,

                                        Richard....
