Hi folks, This morning I posted source code tarballs for the latest versions of my programs: Athena 0.8.005 and Artemis 0.5.002. These are the versions that are included in the new Windows installer that Matt announced yesterday. If you are a windows user and want to upgrade, you should download and install the entire installer. I will continue with the practice of posting the updated Windows executables for these programs with the next releases of Athena and Artemis. While the changes to Athena were pretty modest this time, Artemis took many large steps forward over the past two weeks. I rewrote some of the code that covers how paths from Feff are read in, managed, plotted, and deleted. The result is that much of the strange, unpredictable, and crashy behavior that was discovered during September's EXAFS course at NSLS now seems to be solved. Yay! You should now be able to add and delete paths as you see fit and be confident that plotting and fitting will behave as expected. Take a look at http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/notes/CHANGES.arte... to see the *long* list of changes to this version of Artemis. Some of them, such as the added functionality to the path interpretation on the feff page, are really quite nifty. The one change to both programs that people should be aware of is a slight change to the initialization files. The file format is almost the same EXCEPT you can no longer have end of line comments. If anything configurable behaves oddly check your initialization file (~/.athenarc or ~/.artemisrc for you unix users) and remove any end of line comments. As always, let me know about any problems you find or suggestions you have.
