new release of Athena and Artemis
Hi folks, I am announcing the release Athena 0.8.025 and Artemis 0.7.000. You can now run the Windows updater or the horae_update script on your unix machnies to install these new versions. Complete lists of changes can be found in the change logs on my web site. I have increased the minor version number of Artemis because of two significant new features. 1. Atoms is now incorporated into Artemis and there is a simple wrapper around Feff built into Artemis. You no longer need to run Atoms and Feff apart from Artemis. Instead, you now do these chores within Artemis and allow Artemis to organize and manage all of the output files from Feff. By default, Artemis assumes you will be using the version of feff6 that comes with Ifeffit (but that is configurable). 2. Artemis project files are now zip files which contain all data and feff files along with the description of the fitting model. This means that it is easy to share analysis projects with friends and to move analysis projects between computers. The project files are normal zip files that can be examined with PKZip, WinZip, StuffIt, ark, or File Roller. To explain these changes more fully, I have added a chapter to the draft document for Artemis. See chapter 5 in the PDF file at: http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/docs.html Please read this new chapter as it explains the features in full detail. As always, let me know about any bugs, questions, or suggestions. This is a significant new direction for Artemis, so I look forward to hearing about the issues that will, no doubt, come up. You can thank Adam Webb and Paul Fons for all the bugs that *aren't* in Artemis due to their excellent feedback on the new version.

Hi Bruce et al., One of my students is using Artemis 0.7.001 on Windows XP. She started a project by running FEFF inside of Artemis, starting with only the first ten paths. This worked fine. Then she wanted to add more paths to the fit. If she clicks on FEFF1 in the paths list and then clicks on "Add a FEFF path" under either the FEFF or paths menu, she can select a path, but it makes it part of a new FEFF calculation. If she wants to bring in several additional paths one at a time, she ends up with them each listed under a different FEFF calculation! That was not the behavior of versions of Artemis prior to 0.7.000, and does not seem like it's the desired behavior. Are other people seeing this as well, or is it some quirk of this particular combination of version and OS? --Scott Calvin Sarah Lawrence College At 09:26 AM 2/23/2004 -0500, you wrote:

Definately a bug, definately not the desired behavior. Yikes! The only suggestions I can make for now are: 1. Run feff from within Artemis. What you describe does not happen for me in that case. 2. Import all the paths and exclude or remove the ones you don't want. or 3. Use the preferences dialog to set the "paths -> firstn" variable to a sufficiently large number, then try starting the project again. I acknowledge that these solutions have their shortcomings, but I probably will not have time to fix this problem before I head to NSLS next week. It could be two or three weeks before I'll get around to posting a solution. Thanks for the bug report! B. P.S. Is there a reason that running feff outside of artemis is preferable? I am not criticizing -- I am just interested to know how people are using this stuff so that Artemis can better serve your needs. -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel@phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 405 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 2268 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 4642 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 My homepage: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
