The tables show the package, task name, the type of change, the parameter names, and comments. The types of changes listed are:
added parameter is new in this version deleted parameter was removed moved parameter has been moved to a pset new default default value of parameter changed new option new options are allowed -- prompt and limits may have changed new prompt type or text of prompt was changed renamed parameter has been renamedThese lists are actually much smaller than they may first appear. In many cases modifications were made to tasks that appear in several different packages, thus duplicating the change several times. The lists are intended to serve as a reference for users wanting to upgrade scripts to the latest IRAF version. This is NOT a full revisions summary, our intent here is only to summarize changes to the IRAF task-level interface which could affect user scripts. For example, parameters in new tasks are not listed since there no user scripts will be affected by these new tasks.
The following changes occurred between IRAF V2.10.3 and V2.10.4:

parameter was change to a string to specify one or two values.
(median): Prompt was changed and value may be negative to specify median.
