Hi folks, I have just finished the new release of my data analysis programs: Athena 0.8.027 and Artemis 0.7.003. This release contains mostly bug fixes and feature enhancements. As you may recall, last month's release of Artemis generated a very large amount of traffic on this list due to several problems surrounding the new project file format and other file management issues. I have addressed almost all of the problems that were reported and am cautiously optimistic that this release of Artemis will be much more solid than the last. There is one significant new feature in this release -- the program Hephaestus, which will be a permanent part of future releases. Hephaestus replaces the Atoms Periodic Table and expands greatly upon its functionality. I will describe Hephaestus in more detail in a message later this morning. Source code tarballs are already available on my web site and at SourceForge. The Windows updater package will be available soon. Change logs with all the details of the new features of Athena and Artemis are on my web site. Lots of people helped out this time with excellent suggestions and bug reports. Special thanks to Mauro Ravezzi, David Barton, Peter Pfalzer, Gerrit Schmithals, Stanislav Stoupin, and Shelly Kelly.
