Hi Mario,

While the updates in this release are likely not anything we need
immediately, in the interest of clean living, we'd likely want to upgrade
when it's convenient.  The binary distributions do come in handy - in
particular for Mac and RHEL5-64 though having them available for all
supported platforms is welcome.  We should be able to build from source at
SLAC on RHEL6-64.

Jim had mentioned he hadn't noticed the update in FITS header handling that
allowed for "." in the keywords.  Did that change make it in?  I'm hoping
we'll be moving away from "." in favor of "_" anyhow.

Take care,
Heather
