HPIC version 0.51 released- small bug fix in nearest neighbors function. Also affects hpic_outline command line tool.

2005-10-02:

HPIC version 0.50 released! Some function names have had a "hpic_" prefix added to them to reduce collisions with functions in other healpix libraries. You can automatically convert your code using this script. See the NEWS file for more info.

Why use HPIC instead of / in addition to other healpix tools?
