Hi Paul,

  I have been playing around with the newer version of horae off and on for a while.  I find in general that athena is fairly stable, but there are several new bugs in artemis.

I agree
 I have been waiting to document them a little more and send off a report to Bruce, but as feff says as it calculates "it takes time".   New bugs are a fact of life when you add new features.  I have just been working around them (the new version is usable but it has problems) ..

OK
Stephano you might just want to install horae-036 on top of the new version of ifeffit 1.2.6.  There should be no problem in doing this.  Just pop into the horae-036 source directory on your computer and type "sudo make install" and things should go back to the way they were before.

I am working on two computers, one at work, the other at home. On the Mac I have in the office I have NOT installed Ifeffit 1.2.6, and things are fairly OK (with sporadic program crashes) using 1.2.5a and building from source as Matt indicated. Notice that in this way I am running Artemis 0.7.003, little problems, with some kicks on the side of the computer (!) I get fits done.
On the other hand, the installation on the computer at home that I tried last night is a clean installation using the 1.2.6 binary installer released yestarday by Matt. Therefore, I will not touch anything on the Mac in the office until I see that on the other computer things are smooth using the latest release. I will try what Paul suggested only on my Mac at home, but will do so only this evening.

 If you have some spare time, you might want to document exactly what caused the error and send it off to Bruce (e.g. include the input file if necessary), verify that you can reproduce the problem yourself, and then send off an exact description of the problem to Bruce along with any necessary input files.  If you don't have time (which is perfectly reasonable too!), just reinstall horae-036 and things will go back to the way they were (o.k. things will get a little better as a bug has been squashed in ifeffit!).

will do so later tonight. Thanks!
Stefano
