Changes to Buie's IDL Library

My library is under constant development, testing, and improvement. However, I do not have time to provide support for more than one version of IDL for the active version of my library. For instance, once I moved up to IDL v6.1, the version of the library developed under version 6.0 was frozen and a new library version was created that then became active. If you do not use the most recent version of IDL, then more recent versions of my library may or may not work for you. In general, widget code tends to be the most version specific so if you don't use any of my widget tools then the version issues will not be as severe. The links below take you to pages that contain a terse summary of changes to my library and will also indicate when a new program was added to the library. The link on the cutoff date will take you to the changes page specific to that version of my library. The link on the IDL version takes you to the compressed tar file. You can also browse the download area.
