Changes in Version 2.8

• KPG1_BADBX added. It returns an NDF identifier for the smallest section of a supplied NDF that encloses all the good data values in the NDF.
• KPG1_BBOX$<$T$>$ added. It obtains the pixel bounding box of a given value within an $N$-dimensional data array.
• KPG1_LIKE added. It obtains a section of an NDF that matches either the pixel or WCS shape of a given template NDF.
• KPG1_KYMAP can read vectors as well as scalars from a GRP group into an AST keyMap.
• kaplibs_link script now works without attempting to load ADAM symbols.
• Can now be built as a shared library.
• Added KPG1_ASTCMN to provide access to KPG_AST private common block
• The HLP helper routines are no longer part of kaplibs. Use the SHL library instead.
• KPG1_SCRSZ is no longer present. Please use ONE_SCRSZ instead.
• Now released under the GPL.
• kpgGtfts and kpgPtfts can now be used to read and write AST FitsChan objects from/to an NDF.
• KAPLIBS no longer links against Tk (the one Tk routine has been removed from KAPLIBS).
• KAPLIBS now has a public C interface (but not for all routines).
• Added KPG1_CGET, which returns the value of an NDF character component removing any AST or PGPLOT escape sequences.
• Added KPG1_MXMNX, which provides a single interface to the existing generic KPG1_MXMNx routines.
• Added KPG1_SCALX, which provides a single interface to the new doubly generic KPG1_SCLxx routines, for scaling and shifting data values.
