A number of bugfixes have been incorporated into affxparser for the Bioconductor 1.9 release. This bumps the version number to 1.6.2. The update fixes a number of memory bugs that can cause a crash, mainly related to frequently reading small chunks of a CDF file. The update is recommended for all users. Bugfixes: * Memory bug in the Fusion SDK when reading many small chunks of a cdf file (affected file: fusion_sdk/file/CDFFileData.cpp * Problems when reading non-null terminated strings (affected file: R_affx_cdf_extras.cpp) * Small problem when using readCdfUnits with the argument stratifyBy = "mm" - it returned pm values instead of mm.
