ChangeLog for epiclccorr
========================
Version 1.23.3 - 2025-02-05 (RDS)
--------------
+ src/LightCurve.cc - Fix for miscalculated errors when
extraction region lies on >2 CCDs.
SPR-7658 & SPR-7826
Version 1.23.2 - 2024-10-09 (AI)
--------------
+ Debug lines removed
Version 1.23.1 - 2020-07-07 (EO)
--------------
+ doc/epiclccorr_description.tex: Due to the change of default to
UTF-8 in LaTeX documents, documents which include accented letters
entered from the keyboard, can not be processed and produce an error.
To avoid such error we must include the directive
\UseRawInputEncoding
as the first line in the document.
Another option is to add, instead of the previous directive, the proper
encoding invocation, depending on the encoding used, typically either
latin1 or cp1252, in the document's preamble, as
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
However, package LaTeX description files do not have access to the
document preamble, which is provided by sas package file 'package.tex'.
But this file is common to all LaTeX documentation so, any change
there would affect to all documents.

corrected. SOC-SPR-7480 fixed
