New in HEALPix 2.11 (Nov 18, 2008)

  • general:
  • installation...
  • Fixed IDL installation problem under (ba)sh
  • Check consistency of cfitsio library with F90 routines
  • introduced command line options for ./configure

  • documentation:
  • ``IDL routines'': rightfully says that IDL6.0 or more recent is required
  • Makefile no longer assumes that current directory ('.') is in PATH
  • C++:
  • fixed error affecting equatorial pixels in maps generated by alm2map* Fortran90
  • fixed problem with TTYPE* when writing FITS header (was also affecting IDL's isynfast)
  • fixed crash causing bug in map2alm_iterative subroutine (was affecting anafast, sky_ng_sims and smoothing facilities)
  • fixed un-initialized variables in compute_statistics subroutine
  • fixed parameters parsing problem in interactive mode of synfast, anafast, ...
  • IDL:
  • issues warning when non-integer pixel indexes are fed to nest2ring, ring2nest, pix2ang_*, pix2vec_*, ...
  • more stable and elegant behaviour of isynfast and ianafast
  • cartview, gnomview, mollview, orthview:
  • deal properly with MIN and MAX in ASINH mode
  • polarization norm map can be offset ( POLARIZATION=1 mode)
  • original color table and plot settings are restored when leaving these routines
  • ximview:
  • fixed problem with cut-sky FITS files
  • color scale bar added to PNG output
