Hello again,

A new version of the Perl interface to William Pence's cfitsio
subroutine library is available. For more information on cfitsio, see
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio

The major change in this version of the module is a synchronization
with cfitsio version 3.006, including implementation of functions
accepting 64-bit integer and signed byte arguments. Note that
internally Perl will still use 32-bit integer types unless compiled
with support for 64-bit integer values.

New features in Astro::FITS::CFITSIO 1.04 include:

* Added recent cfitsio routines
  fits_open_diskfile
  fits_create_diskfile
  fits_copy_cell2image
  fits_copy_image2cell

Version 3.006 of the cfitsio library is required to build this
module. Astro::FITS::CFITSIO has been tested on Linux 2.6 (ix86, Perl
5.8.3) and Solaris 2.8 (Sparc, Perl 5.005).
