- Update to version 3.480:
  * Now can handle parentheses in path names rather than
    automatically interpreting them as output file specifiers.  
  * Fixed bug in imcompress.c that wasn't properly handling
    conversion between float and double types when reading from a
    gzip compressed float or double image.  
  * Fixed bug that was preventing use of bracket and parentheses
    symbols in pathnames when opening multiple READWRITE files,
    even when requesting no-extended-syntax usage. *This fix
    necessitates a library interface version number change.    
  * Fixed bug in ffmnhd / fits_movnam_hdu to properly handle
    wildcard syntax.
  * Fixed bug in fits_open_extlist to handle filename[EXT] syntax
    properly.  The hdutype parameter may now be null.  More
    documentaion for this function is in cfitsio.tex.
  * Added new function fits_copy_hdutab to create a new table with
    the same structure as an existing table.
  * fits_copy_col / ffcpcl handles long long integer data types
    more natively to prevent precision loss.
  * histo.c routines now recognize integer columns that have been
    scaled by TSCALn keywords and may be closer to floating point
    type.                
  * Added backward compatibility for very old Rice compressed files
    which were not using the ZVAL2 keyword in the way that later
    became standard.
  * Change made to cfitsio.pc.in to prevent forcing downstream
    libraries to link against cfitsio's dependencies when using
    pkgconfig.
