Release 1.0 - The major chage to this release is support for .Z compressed images. This is implemented by using the uncompress command which must be in the user's execution path. - There is much more dynamic checking of the magic number of inputs to determine whether the input to the FITS constructor is compressed or not, and if compressed what the compression type is. This can still be confused but in many cases it will get the compression right regardless of what the user specifies. Future versions may completely ignore the user specified compression flag. - Bug fix to BinaryTable by A. Kovacs
