GFitsAsciiTable GFitsBinTable The table constructors now take a const reference as argument. GFitsImage All constructors and methods now take const references as arguments. The size(), bitpix(), naxis() and anynul() methods return const references, nulval() returns a const pointer. GFitsImageByte GFitsImageDouble GFitsImageFloat GFitsImageLong GFitsImageLongLong GFitsImageSByte GFitsImageShort GFitsImageULong GFitsImageUShort All constructors now take const references as arguments.

The GFitsHDU::card methods now return a reference instead of a pointer. Some more methods have been added to GFitsHDU for header card access and management. The fits_key_not_found exception has been removed, and keyword checks are now done using the hascard() methods. This was needed as the GFitsHeader class does not throw the fits_key_not_found exception anymore if a header card is not found. The FITS utility function gammalib::fits_move_to_hdu has been added to the GFits.hpp/cpp files which provides support for moving to a specific HDU. As this cfitsio function is widely used in the FITS module it was favourable to put it in a specific function with a generic exception message.
-
The GFitsHeader class now derives from GContainer and implements all generic container class methods (at(), size(), isempty(), append(), insert(), remove(), reserve(), extend()). The hascard() methods have been renamed to contains() for compliance with other container classes. The card() methods have been renamed to at(), also for compliance. The card access operators and methods now return the cards by reference. Card access operators[] have been implemented to access header cards without range checking. The cards are now stored using a std::vector structure.
-
The GFits class allows for flexible HDU manipulation using the container methods set(), append(), insert(), remove() and extend(). So far the code was unable to save correctly a manipulated FITS file. This has now been corrected for. If for a given extension number the type of a HDU has changed during manipulations (e.g. an image has become a table or vice versa), the old HDU is deleted and a new HDU is inserted in place. Also, exedent HDUs that are not present anymore in the GFits object will be removed from the FITS file upon saving.
-
If a FITS file is created using the open() method and if HDUs have been appended to this FITS file, the GFits::close() method (or the destructor) resulted in an exception due to an invalid filepointer. The result FITS file was empty, with a single "END" statement. Now, the m_created flag is used to signal that a file has been created but not yet saved. Calling the GFits::save() method will set the flag to false. The GFits::free_member() method will delete the FITS file if m_created is still true.
-
Add GChatter argument to print() method. The print() method now takes an argument of type GChatter to control the chattiness of the output in a homogenous manner. Pass NORMAL chatter level in __str__ method. Add chatter argument to print() methods. Use GLog::chatter() method to control the chattiness of the log stream operator. Add chatter() methods and provide member access through const references. Add chatter() methods, provide member access through const references, and declare one liners as inline methods. The chatter() methods control the new m_chatter attribute that is used to control the chattiness of the object's print() methods. name() and version() methods return const references. logFileOpen() method now sets the chattiness from the applications's chatter parameter, and name() and version() methods now return a const reference.
-
All classes our now derived from GBase. For this we had to define and to implement the clear() method for all classes. ostream and GLog friends have also been removed, as they are no implemented at the GBase level.
