*Summary of important changes

The main improvements of this release are:

- Correction of the conversion between celestial and detector coordinate
systems.
Due to a long-standing error in the task 'attcalc', the Euler Psi angle
contained within the boresight calibration file had the wrong sign. In
practically all cases the two errors canceled out yielding a correct astrometry
reconstruction within SAS. However, direct use of the boresight numbers could
result in wrong conversions. This upgrade, affecting several tasks, including
attcalc, needs to go together with the new calibration file XMM_BORESIGHT_0026.CCF.
The ALGOID mechanism applies here, to prevent SAS users from mixing incompatible
SAS and CCF versions.

- The new task (ebkgreg) determines the most suitable position of a circle
region to get the background estimation of any source in an EPIC PN image. While the
task is only working with PN data at the moment, it is thought to be extended to be
able to work with MOS data in a foreseeable future.

- A new task for fast calculation of upper limits, eupper. Given a position,
specified in celestial coordinates, the task calculates the count rate upper limit for
any sky image regardless of the instrument.

- eboxdetect, the task for slide box source detection, has been upgraded for
accepting also input data in detector coordinates.

- The metatask for slew data analysis, eslewchain, is able now to produce .png
files for each subimage.

- RGS responses can be also derived by rgsrmfgen in separated files: a redistribution
matrix (RMF) and a corresponding Ancillary Response Function (ARF). The default is however kept
with a single response matrix, combining the effects.

This version is released in several 64-bit binary versions for Linux and MacOs, but only in one
32-bit binary version (Linux RHEL 5.8). This version however has been tested to run correctly on
several other platforms (we provide some libraries where necessary together with the distribution).

As always, many other less important improvements and small bug fixes have taken place. 72 tasks
have been upgraded all in all, with a total number of 129 sub-version changes. A detailed list
follows further below.

Package eboxdetect: version 4.25.1 [was 4.23]


ChangeLog

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.


Version 4.25 - 2015-08-21 (IT)
--------------
	+ Allow input data in detector coordinates (SCR 7289). The
	  coordinate system is determined from the keywords CTYPE1/2 (new
	  arguments to the subroutine co_image): detector coordinates, if
	  DETX/Y. No PSF correction is performed in this case. Detector
	  coordinates of the detections are written to new DETX/DETY columns
	  in the output source list (only!) for input images in detector
	  coordinates. Note: Position errors are not converted into detector
	  coordinates. If required, users can derive them from the
	  X_IMA_ERR, Y_IMA_ERR columns.
	+ Documentation updated.


Version 4.24 - 2015-03-31 (IT)
--------------
	+ new parameter "obsmode" to distinguish between pointing and
	  slew-mode data (SCR 7279). Default: pointing.
	+ eboxdetect_mod.f90: use a flat kernel
	+ eboxdetect_mod.f90: Improved detection of faint extended sources.
	  subroutine msrbkg: Calculate preliminary equivalent likelihoods
	                     of the candidate sources.
	  subroutine match: If irun (i.e.: ncom) > 1, check whether a
	    newly detected candidate has a counterpart in the previous
	    version of the source list AND (new:) whether the equivalent
	    likelihood of the counterpart is above the detection threshold
	    likemin. A previous detection with a likelihood below likemin
	    can be overwritten by a new one now. Otherwise, it might be
	    removed from the final source list because of its low
	    detection likelihood, and faint extended sources might be missed.
	+ documentation updated


Version 4.23 - 2014-08-28 (IT)
--------------
	+ DEPEND: updated to emldetect-6.0
	+ edetect_io_box.f90, documentation: fixed typo in error messages.
	+ edetect_io_box.f90: changed syntax of cp_head to be consistent
	  with other source-detections tasks (call setAttributes). No
	  effects on eboxdetect output.

Version 4.9 - 2015-08-25 (RDS)
------------
	+ src/eexpmap_mod.f90:

	Modified the use of the boresight PSI angle to subtract rather than
	add. This is only valid if the value in the CCF has a changed sign.
	(SCR-7265)

Version 4.8 - 2014-06-10 (IT)
------------
	+ edetect_io_exp.f90: copy full dataset and array headers of the
	  input image to the exposure map (instead of a list of selected
	  keywords) -> Fixes SPR-7129 and makes physical coordinates
	  available to ds9.
	(copy of version 4.6.6)

Package epchain: version 8.75 [was 8.74.4]


ChangeLog

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'

Version 8.74.5 - 2014-11-11 (MJF)
---------------------------------
- (src/epchain): uniquely convert booleans to 0/1

Version 8.74.4 - 2014-11-04 (MJF)
---------------------------------
- (src/epchain): added new parameter "withdefaultcal" (default "Y") that
   uses default values properly for each of the instrument modes, and thus
   overwriting the mode-independent" constituent task parameter defaults:

Package epreject: version 5.16 [was 5.15]


ChangeLog

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
  of ODF/SDF data or CCF files.
  This is controlled via new boolean parameter "withoffsetlist" (default "N")
  that takes precedence 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). (SOC/SAS-SCR-7284)
- (config/epreject.*): as above
- (doc/epreject_description.tex): as above

Version 5.15 - 2014-05-02 (MJF)
-------------------------------
- (src/epreject_mod.f90): write boolean keyword "OFSTCOR4" whether calibration
  parameters for offset correction have been available (SOC/SAS-SCR-7199)

Package sas: version 1.564 [was 1.562]


ChangeLog

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.

Version 1.563 - 2015-12-02 (EO)
-------------
	+ AKA: 14.0.0 -> 15.0.0
	+ configure.in:
	  - Updated copyright dates to 1996-2016.
	  - Removed/commented out checks for unsupported Solaris and OSF.
	  - Review variables included from acconfig.h to produce config.h.in.
	  - Removed/commented out obsolete checks for mysql++ and CERN.
	  - Removed obsolete checking for CERN.
	+ Make.include.in:
	  - Removed obsolete support for CERN, mysql, sfftw and dfftw
	  - Changed the exit 1 by continue in dvipdf execution to avoid
	    breaking the make doc target before processing html and
	    producing labels.pl, e.g. in cal, which is used by many
	    packages.
	  - Fixed several typos in target commit for $$branch variable.
	  - Added to git commit message the package version (pkgversion):
	    "$$pkg-$$pkgversion: Committed through make", to improve
	    readability when doing "git log"or "git status" for packages
	    committed by developers.
	  - Target "upload" modifed:
	  	= Variable needstash is now filtered out for the pkg being uploaded.
		= "git stash" command changed to "git stash save" with a message
		  that includes the package name and version.
		= git stash pop operation is now exited if failed.
	  - Target "commit" now includes the pkg version in git commit message.
	  - Removed GNUPERLLDFLAGS variable that was used only on Solaris.
	  - SAS_PERL defined as a function of the PERL value obtained from
	    the configure. This is now used to set -sasperl- in main.pl of
	    package taskmain. As a consequence, all perl tasks use now in the
	    sha-bang the PERL value determined in the configure. There, a new
	    option to set a valid perl is provided by environment variable
	    SAS_PERL. If not defined, the configure looks for valid perl
	    installations in /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, /sw/bin and
	    /opt/local/bin, the last two only on Darwin.
	    taskmain 1.93 is the first using this mechanism.
	+ bin/evaluatebuild: Major review to fix some important bugs on
	  elapsed time computation.

Version 1.562 - 2014-09-24 (EO)
-------------
	+ bin/saslibs: Added libquadmath.so to extralibs because many SAS
	  tasks depend now on it after gcc upgrade to 4.8.2.

Package selectlib: version 4.73 [was 4.72.1]


ChangeLog

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.
	
Version 4.72.1 - 2014-09-04 (EO)
--------------
	+ src/selcore/SelectParser.cc: Definition of FILE as typedef struct _IO_FILE _FILE
	  in /usr/include/stdio.h conflicts with the usage of it in SelectParser.cc and
	  SelectParser.y when Optimization is used (any) to build the release track.
	  The fix consisted in adding and extra #include  in SelectParser.cc.

------------
	+ srcmatch_mod.f90, subroutine srcmatch: increased maximum length
	  of output file names to 1024 (consistent with other
	  source-detection tasks).


Version 3.18 - 2015-07-24 (IT)
------------
	+ srcmatch_io.f90, srcmatch_mod.f90, srcmatch_def.f90: copy
	  columns X_IMA, X_IMA_ERR, Y_IMA, Y_IMA_ERR from an X-ray input
	  to the srcmatch output source list (SCR-7301).  Coordinates are
	  copied from one X-ray source list and set to NULL in case of
	  several X-ray input lists.
	+ Documentation updated.


Version 3.17.1 - 2014-09-08 (IT)
-------------
	+ srcmatch_io.f90: internal variable "single_inst" should be used
	  for old-style emldetect source lists without summary rows only,
	  but was also set for source lists containing exactly one
	  source. Fixed the if-expression for summary lines.

Package taskmain: version 1.93 [was 1.92]


ChangeLog

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).

Version 1.92 - 2014-09-30 (EO)
------------
	+ src/main.pl: Added support for short common options (-h, -m, -d, etc).
	  Special treatment required for -v.
