Hi Bruce, I believe that the set edge step button is broken in Athena when the Clnorm background is used. To reproduce this error: 1 read in a xmu data set 2 set the background to clnorm and plot the normalized bkg. 3 push the set step height button and change the value. 4 replot the background and watch the set height value go back to the original value. If you need a project file let me know. Shelly

Hi folks,
I just release a new version of Athena, a new Windows executable for Athena, and a new source code tarball. You can find them in the normal places. There are only two new things, but they are both pretty important.
1. Fixed a serious bug in how Athena handles filenames with long, similar names. There was a problem in how Athena was translating long filenames into ifeffit group names that could lead to very broken behavior.
2. For unix and Mac users, I wrote a perl script called "horae_update" which gets installed upon installation into /usr/local/bin (or wherever athena and artemis go). The purpose of this script is to automate updating athena and artemis to the very latest versions. It fetches the latest source code tarball from the web, unpacks it, builds it, and (if you run it as root) installs it. Very handy.
The updater is only loosely tested, so I am eager for feedback from people, and particularly from the OSX crowd. It seems to work ok for me and makes updating the codes a snap.
I plan to write a similar program for Windows users soon. My plan is to have a button in the Ifeffit menu on the Start Menu that says something like "Update Athena and Artemis". Clicking it will fetch and install the latest Windows executables. I'll make an announcment here when it is ready.
Regards, B
