version 1.5.0 of sdssidl released

I haven't posted in a while. Lots has happened. I think I'll start slow:

Amy Kimball and I just released v1.5.0 of sdssidl. You can get it here:

http://code.google.com/p/sdssidl/

Here is a look at the changes:

v1.5.0
---------------------------------------
bug fixes:
gcc 4.3 has turned many warnings into errors. Hundreds of fixes were
applied to fixe these mostly harmless problems.
skiplines works properly now for ascii_read() C++ DLM.
pro/util/match_dup.pro: Bug fix; code checks for overlapping ranges of
input arrays.
pro/astro/spheredist.pro: Bug fix; output fixzed so values are between 0
and 2!pi.
pro/sdss/gc2csurvey: misnamed procedure internally. Incorrect docs.

New Files:
pro/util/in.pro: Check if a value is contained in an array or matches
a scalar.
pro/util/tostring.pro: Convert idl variables to strings.
pro/util/fromstring.pro: Convert from idl strings to variables.
pro/plotting/plegend.pro: A fork from legend.pro that supports color
strings, no default box, box color, etc.

minor changes:
pro/files/which.pro:
1: Search for Dynamically Loadable module if no files are found.
If /dlm is set search onlyl for those.
2: /show: display the first match found.
3: Now use file_search, to avoid a bug in idl 7.0.
pro/idlstruct_files/idlstruct2fits.pro: support ascii
pro/plotting/pplot.pro: support color strings.
pro/plotting/textoidl.pro: Added \sun and made roman font !3
pro/plotting/plot_box.pro: support color strings.
pro/plotting/ploth.pro: support asinh scaling with tvasinh.pro
pro/htm/htm_match.pro: Fixed incorrect docs
pro/fits/mrdfits_multi.pro: Allow specify extension.
pro/util/doc_method.pro: Use file_which
pro/sdss/sdss_objname.pro: Use prefix=,suffix=
pro/sdss/sdss_flags__define.pro: flagname, plotting
pro/sdss/sdss_files__define.pro: sensible dealing with reruns. Also
allow nyu/boss ordering of rerun
pro/sdss/make_cmodel_counts.pro: removed preselection with flags
pro/probgal/bayes_combine_gri.pro: Use sdss_flag_select
