Version 0.99:

The three packages, nom.tam.fits, nom.tam.util and nom.tam.image
have been combined into a single JAR file for the convenience
of the user.


Added support for Checksums.  Use the setChecksum methods in the
FITS class to add checksums to FITS HDUs.  The static method
setChecksum(HDU) adds a checksum to a given HDU.  The instance
method setChecksum() adds checksums to all HDUs in the file.
Note that setting the checksum should be the last step before
writing the file since any manipulation of the file is likely
to invalidate the checksum.
(This code was contributed by  R.J. Mathar, Leiden University).

Changed handling of 1-d arrays with a single element so that
they can be distinguished from scalar values.  No TDIM will be
be created for scalar columns, and a TDIMn = '(1)' will give
an array rather than a scalar value. (Suggested by Jorgo Bakker. ESA)
For data written using the previous version of the FITS library,
this may cause problems when the data is read with the new version,
since the type of the returned column will be different.

When checking if a file is compressed, the actual content of the
file will be used if possible rather than the name (Suggested by Laurent Michel, CDS)

The code used to support TFORMn = 'xNNN'  where the array dimension followed rather
than preceded the format type.  This has been deleted (Suggested by Laurent Michel, CDS)

Zero-length string values should now be allowed as header keyword values
(Bug noted by Fred Romelfanger, ST ScI and Jorgo Bakker, ESA).

The addLine methods in Header are now public rather than protected.

If the Fits.write() method is called using a BufferedFile, then the size of the
file is truncated at the end of the write.  Otherwise if the FITS data was
being written into a previously existing file of greater length, there
would be extra bytes at the end of the file.  This is still possible
if the user uses the write methods for individual constituents of the FITS
object.

The ArrayFuncs.newInstance method now accepts an dimension array of length
0 and returns a 1-d array of length 1 to emulate a scalar.

Corrected bug in writing a binary table when the read of that table
had been deferred.
