Hi! The last few months have been a pretty quiet period for me in terms of software development because I have been working on new documentation for Athena. As such things often do, it took longer than planned. But I am very pleased with the results and I am hopeful that you will find it useful. The html version is on line at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/doc/Athena/html/ A (rather large) PDF version of the document is at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/doc/Athena/html/athena.pdf For those interested in contributing to or packaging the document, the source files can be found at or downloaded via svn from http://cars9.uchicago.edu/svn/aug/ This is a first draft and a large project. It will certainly require updates. If you find anything missing or anything incorrectly or poorly explained, please let me know. Now that this document is finished, I will work on the next release of the codes. I have a long list of bugs fixes and improvements that I hope to roll out for all platforms before the APS XAFS summer school in July.
