The previous draft 7.1 document is also available for reference:

As always, the entire PIDoc source code of the latest version is available on our GitHub open source repositories:

      https://github.com/PixInsight/XISF-specification

Main changes:

      - Lots of error corrections and bug fixes everywhere.

      - Section 10.5 XISF Data Block Compression has been completely rewritten to include subblock compression, the byte shuffling algorithm, and the LZ4/LZ4_HC compression codecs.

Hopefully this is the last draft document before the final XISF 1.0 specification.

All comments, suggestions and error reports are extremely welcome.
