TABLES v3.3 Full Release Notes

CHANGES TO APPLICATIONS

TABLES.TTOOLS

- TREBIN

  There was a problem with exception handling in TREBIN, having to do
  with the 'xtable' argument.  If a name was specified for 'xtable'
  but the table did not exist, it could result in a segmentation
  violation.  This has been fixed.

- TSORT  
  
  Changes were made to the TSORT task to fix a bug for large FITS tables
  and to improve the performance for both FITS and STSDAS format tables.
  The bug affected FITS tables that were large enough that they would
  be sorted into temporary files, merged, and then copied back into
  the original FITS file.  If the FITS file contained another extension
  following the table to be sorted, the step to copy the sorted table
  back into the original FITS file would fail.
