Release 3.9.0

This is a maintenance release of NASAView correcting a number of issues including support for displaying large spreadsheets and IEEE Real Numbers.

Release 3.8.0

This is a maintenance release of NASAView, which includes fixes for supporting 16-bit unsigned images, 32-bit multi-banded images, and tables containing items within a bit column.

Release 3.7.0

This is a maintenance release of NASAView, which includes a fix for labels containing both a SPREADSHEET and HEADER object, and also a fix for multi-banded images containing LINE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION and SAMPLE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION keywords to change the orientation of an image.

Also included in this release is the deployment of a Mac Intel and Mac PowerPC package instead of the single Mac package released in previous versions. This is due to NASAView having to do architecture-dependent, byte-swapping in order to read the data properly.
