+Release 1.3.0:
+By John A. Magliacane <kd2bd@amsat.org> (11-Apr-09):
+
+* Introduced one arc-second high-resolution versions of SPLAT!
+ (splat-hd) and the srtm2sdf utility (srtm2sdf-hd) to permit
+ detailed topographic and RF signal analyzes based on SRTM-1
+ digital elevation models.
+
+* Introduced a new configure script that generates the appropriate
+ MAXPAGES parameter prior to compiling SPLAT! based on user
+ interaction at configuration time.
+
+* Added transmitter EIRP, estimated received signal power level
+ (in dBm), estimated received signal power density (in dBW/m^2),
+ and received signal power density to Path Analysis Reports.
+ EIRP can also now be expressed as dBm in place of ERP in
+ Watts in .lrp files.
+
+* Added a new mapping mode that plots contours of received signal
+ power levels in dBm using the new -dbm option. New .dcf files
+ control the color scheme of the plotted contours.
+
+* The function of the -db option has been expanded to serve as a
+ contour threshold limit for all three mapping modes (path loss,
+ signal strength, and signal power level).
+
+* New -ano and -ani (alphanumeric output and input) options have
+ replaced the -plo and -pli (path loss output and input) options,
+ and can contain either path loss data (as before), field strength
+ data (new), or received signal power level data (new). Path loss
+ figures in .ano files ignore the effects of transmit antenna
+ pattern, while field strength and received signal power levels
+ take antenna pattern into account.
+
+* Uniform ground clutter height can now be specified using the new
+ -gc switch.
+
+* Several bugs in SPLAT!'s UDT file handling were fixed.
+
+* Bugs affecting the operation of the -f switch were identified
+ and fixed.
+
+* The reported field strength and the corresponding voltage induced
+ across the receive antenna in Path Analysis Reports were found to
+ be 2.14 dB too low. The cause was identified and fixed.
+
+* Some modifications were made in coding and scripting in response to
+ changes that have occured in the latest versions of gcc and bash.
+
+* The documentation was updated to reflect all the improvements.

+
+Release 1.2.3:
+By John A. Magliacane <kd2bd@amsat.org> (30-Jul-08):
+
+* Fixed a problem that sometimes caused SPLAT! to hang indefinitely
+ when reading some cartographic boundary files on some platforms.
+
+* Fixed a problem introduced in v1.2.2 that sometimes caused black
+ horizontal and/or vertical dotted lines to appear in path-loss
+ and signal strength contour plots.
+
+* The UDT file switch was described as -udt in the documentation,
+ but recognized as -u in SPLAT!. SPLAT! was modified to reflect
+ the documentation.
+
+* The -R option can now increase (as well as limit) the .ppm image
+ size when generating topographic maps.
+
+* Dots ('.') are now permitted in the base of filenames passed to SPLAT!
+
+* Further improvements in accuracy were made to both SPLAT! and the
+ srtm2sdf utility. Users are encouraged to re-create their .sdf
+ files using the latest version of srtm2sdf for the best performance.
+
+* The loading and display of cartographic boundary files now works
+ for any region of the planet.
+
+* A -gpsav command-line switch option was added to instruct SPLAT! to
+ preserve the temporary working files it creates when invoking gnuplot.
+ This permits users to view and edit these files, and even re-run
+ gnuplot outside of SPLAT! (Tnx John McMellen)

+
+Release 1.2.2:
+By John A. Magliacane <kd2bd@amsat.org> (10-May-08):
+
+* Cleared up some very small inaccuracies (+/- 1 pixel) through better
+ numerical rounding techniques.
+
+* Transmitter site location names now appear in .ppm maps even if no
+ city location files are loaded into SPLAT!
+
+* Fixed a problem that prevented operation over paths that extended
+ across the Prime Meridian.
+
+* Fixed a problem that produced incorrect TX-to-RX distances in the
+ Site Analysis Report when the -metric switch was used. (Tnx Martin, M0ADY)
+
+* When generating .ppm map contours, SPLAT! is now slightly more liberal
+ when loading SDF files to help ensure the contour doesn't get cut off
+ if it should approach the boundary of an SDF file.
+
+* Added a new utility called "bearing" (under utils) that determines
+ distance and azimuth bearings between two site location (.qth) files.
+
+* The man page installation process was improved.
+
+* Some very minor documentation updates were made.

Release 1.2.1:
By John A. Magliacane <kd2bd@amsat.org> (18-Oct-07):
* A bug that produced some erroneous elevation angles in SPLAT! Path Loss
Output (-plo option) files was identified and fixed.
-* Text documentation in Spanish was added (thanks to Charles Esobar).
+* Text documentation in Spanish was added (thanks to Charles Escobar).
* The build scripts were modified to permit successful compilation with
bzip2-1.0.4 libraries. (Thanks to Janek, SQ5MJL)
