RELEASE NOTES 

		spatstat 1.5-9

	 	8 February 2005

	Several bugs have been fixed in this release.

	We thank Robert John-Chandran and Stephen Eglen for correspondence.

1. When objects of class "fv" and "fasp" (which are returned by the functions 
Kest, Kinhom, Kest.fft, Kmulti, Gest, Fest, Jest, Gmulti, Jmulti,
allstats, alltypes, pcf, ...) were saved to a file using save(), 
the resulting files were excessively large. 
This was drawn to our attention by Robert John-Chandran. 
It has now been fixed.

2. The new version of plot.im and image.im introduced in spatstat 1.5-8
did not respect the argument 'add=TRUE'. This has been corrected.

3. During installation of the package, some Fortran compilers would
complain about improper array dimensions in the files 'lookup.f',
'initaux.f', 'updaux.f'. This has been eradicated.

4. The "fv" object returned by Kest.fft contained incorrect descriptions
for some of the columns. They have been corrected.

5. The other repairs are invisible to the user.
