2003-07-19 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk> (version 2.1.3)
* Catalog.pm: added patch by Brad Cavangh to popstarbyid()
2003-07-15 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk> (version 2.1.2)
* Minor documentation tweaks
* Added some example scripts to the distribution
2003-06-10 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Catalog.pm: Fixed bug in new _read_cluster() routine for
instances where we're reading from a file.
2003-06-09 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Fixed test scripts for Astro::Catalog::SuperCOSMOS so that
they fail gracefully if Astro::Aladin isn't installed.
* Astro::Catalog module patched to take an ARK catalogue via
a scalar rather than from a file. For backwards compatibility
reasons Astro::Catalog( Cluster => $file ) still refers to
a serialised version, whereas Astro::Catalog( Scalar => $file )
refers to a scalar holding a string that is an ARK Cluster
catalogue. This isn't optimal but I don't particularly want
to break the exisiting (extensive) codebase.

* Astro::Catalog now wraps SuperCOSMOS catalogue using
the Astro::Aladin module. Some example scripts using this
new module and the Astro::DSS module are included in the
distribution. NB: This isn't intended to be used seriously
by anyone, its not even a sub-optimal way of going about
things, but I was playing and since I wrote the code I may
as well distribute the stuff.

* Removed references to Math::libm from the GSC modules, these
references seemed to have been missed by the previous patch.
2002-05-29 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Applied patch provided by Stephen Quiney <S.J.Quinney@durham.ac.uk>,
removes dependancy on Math::libm and fixes test script problem
which required the $ESTAR_DATA environment variable to be set.
2002-03-30 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Minor bug fix?
2002-03-29 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Added a freeze() function so that the the Catalog object can be
stored persistently using the Data::Dumper module
2002-01-24 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Various changes made to support the Field Correlation Client,
note that the USNO-A2 parsing was broken for catalogues with
more than 1000 stars before this update.
2002-01-14 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Catalog.pm: Can now read from, and dump to, ARK Cluster files.
2002-01-13 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Generic Catalog and Star objects working, lacks way to parse
ARK format Cluster files into Astro::Catalog objects, but all
other functionality in place.
2002-01-10 Alasdair Allan <aa@astro.ex.ac.uk>
* Original version.
