RELEASE NOTES

Current command-line release

StarNet2 2.6.0 / 2.6.1 and DeepSNR 1.3.0 / 1.3.1 add CLI support for linear images, automatically stretching them before processing and reversing the stretch afterward. They also preserve applicable FITS and AstroTIFF astronomy metadata, accept normalized floating-point FITS input, and select output depth automatically. The Linux 2.6.1 and 1.3.1 patches also improve startup portability across compatible glibc-based distributions.
