<li>marCCD driver. Added support for baseline stabilization, which is done with the
"set stability" and "get stability" remote commands. Baseline stabilization is an
extra-cost option for marCCD, so this command only has any affect if that option
is present. But all versions of marCCD understand the command remote command syntax,
so there is no problem if the option is not installed.<br />
Changed the TwoTheta record from a stringout to ao, and this value is now always
sent with the "header" remote command. This requires that the string "theta_display_name
TwoTheta" be present in one of the marCCD configuration files that gets loaded,
typically in goniostat_none.conf or goniostat_sw.conf.</li>
