4.5 August 20, 1998 Fix bugs in Aitoff projection. Add AXAF Guide and Acquisition Star Catalog.

4.4 April 8, 1998

Fix command line center entry.

4.3 July 23, 1997

Rewrite Aitoff projection to plot less than the whole sky. Add code to plot Tycho catalog

4.2 April 16, 1997

Add plotting of NVSS catalog and other FITS tables catalogs. The line plotting option can be used to plot individualized error circles in arcseconds around catalog objects.

4.1 February 7, 1997

Add file names to display prompts. Add USNO A-1.0 (UAC) to catalog possibilities

4.0 October 30. 1996

Add new source markers. Clean up image WCS code. Increase header buffer from 10K to 15K. Increase image buffer size to 10 Mbytes.

3.9 June 4, 1996

Display Real*4, Integer*4, or Integer*2 images

3.8 May 3, 1996

Add additional catalog types (UJ, for now)

3.7 April 24, 1996

Fix bug in Guide Star labelling

3.6 February 2, 1996

Improved image display, larger FITS header buffer

3.5 January 5, 1996

Set map region from FITS or IRAF .imh header

3.4 September 14, 1995

Fix squaring of gnomonic plots

3.3 June 21, 1995

Fix bugs caused by incomplete switch to B1950/J2000 from EQUATORIAL coordinates.

3.2 June 6, 1995

Implement 2/3-token center coordinate argument, respace magnitude table, and accept B1950 and J2000 directly as coordinate systems. Previously the system was EQUATORIAL and the equinox was in a separate parameter--this still works.

3.1 May 10, 1995

Fix source logging and center labelling bugs

3.0 November 8, 1994

Add command line image entry and clean up catalog parameters

2.9 October 31, 1994

adds 2-token center coordinate setting

2.8 September 29, 1993

adds line drawings in sky coordinates to delineate regions.

2.7 August 11, 1993

added many new format options for ASCII catalogs.

2.6 July 14, 1994

allowed the user to set the default parameter directory using the environment variable SKYMAPHOME and fixes a bug allowing the binary executable default parameter directory to be set using NEWDEF.

2.5 June 23, 1993

allowed the parameter-editing command to be set as a parameter, and fixes bugs which prevented repeated menu-driven Guide Star searches and entry of character strings longer than 20 characters in som menu selections.

2.4 May 17, 1993

fixed some inconsistencies in menus and some bugs in the star catalog sections, improved GSC implementation, and fixed planets.

2.3 April 14, 1993

fixed a variety of bugs associated with plotting in J2000 coordinates.

2.0 January 12, 1993

allowed use of version 1.1 of the HST Guide Star Catalog
