CUPID
Fixed bug in the GaussClumps algorithm which could cause bright clear clumps to be missed.
The message printed when using the GaussClumps algorithm and one or more clumps are rejected is less misleading than it was before.

GAIA (ascl:1403.024)
- Added scroll bars around 3D toolbox spectral properties tab.
KAPPA (ascl:1403.022)
- Added new WCSADD MAPTYPE "refndf" to copy a frame from another NDF.
- Added new APERADD parameter MASK which can be used to save an NDF containing a mask showing which pixels were included in the aperture.
- Added new command ALIGN2D to align 2D images by minimizing the residuals between them.
- Added new NORMALIZE parameters DRAWMARK and DRAWWIDTH to control plotting of these elements.
- Improved MFITTREND's handling of line forests, adding new parameters FOREST and HNUMBIN.
