Release 1.1.0:
By John A. Magliacane <kd2bd@amsat.org> (29-Jan-2004):

* Extensively modified by J. D. McDonald in January 2004 to include
  the Longley-Rice propagation model using C++ code from NTIA/ITS.
  In addition to analyzing line-of-sight propagation paths, SPLAT!
  now generates multi-color maps illustrating predicted signal
  strength (path loss), path loss graphs, path loss reports,
  and terrain height graphs.  The default earth radius, as well
  as the default line-of-sight and path loss analysis range used
  by SPLAT! may also be modified using new command-line options.

* splat.c was renamed to splat.cpp to reflect changes necessary
  to merge with Longley-Rice C++ code.  A C++ compiler (gcc/g++)
  is now required to compile SPLAT!.

* The documentation was updated to reflect the new features
  of the program.

Release 1.0.3:
By John A. Magliacane <kd2bd@amsat.org> (10-Jun-2002):

* Coverage areas are now processed four times faster than before.
  (TNX KC6YSO)

* Determination of antenna height above average terrain (HAAT) based
  on FCC Part 73.313(d) (Prediction of coverage) has been added.

* Site analysis report generation has been added when coverage mode
  is invoked.  These reports include ground height above mean sea
  level, antenna height above mean sea level, antenna height above
  average terrain, and average terrain calculated at azimuths of 0,
  45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, and 315 degrees.

* Added site location information in degree, minute, second format,
  as well as antenna height above average terrain to the content of
  obstruction reports.

* Elevations below sea-level are now safely handled.

* Greyscale of topographic maps generated by SPLAT! is now referenced
  between the highest and lowest elevations in the survey, instead of
  between the highest elevation and sea-level.  This change in reference
  permits regions below sea level to be discernible in the map, and
  allows subtle terrain variations to be clearly evident over regions
  having relatively flat terrain.

* The documentation was updated.

* Several other minor coding changes/bug fixes were made.

Release 1.0.2:
By John A. Magliacane <kd2bd@amsat.org> (14-May-2002):

* SPLAT! now buffers data while reading bzip2 compressed SPLAT
  Data Files (SDFs).  A 100 MHz Pentium now loads compressed SDF
  files 208% faster than before, and takes only 2 seconds longer
  than an uncompressed file.

* Configuration, compilation, and installation scripts now invoke
  bash instead of sh.  The -ffast-math compiler option was removed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Release 1.0.1:
By John A. Magliacane <kd2bd@amsat.org> (22-Apr-2002):

* The maximum number of transmitter/repeater sites handled
  per analysis has been increased from two to four.

* Improved the configuration, compilation, and installation scripts.
  Now ./configure compiles and installs the program, man page, and
  all associated utilities in one command.

* Some minor coding changes were made, including the addition of an
  #include <stdlib.h> in each of the utilities to silence a compilation
  warning issued by gcc version 3.x.x about the use of the exit() function.

* The README and documentation files were updated.
