Hi Folks, I just uploaded new source code tarballs and new windows executables for the two programs to my web site. This release is mostly about bug fixes. You can read about those in the change logs. Athena has two big new features. 1. A dialog for fitting Gaussians/Lorentzians and an arctangent to near-edge peaks. See the "Analysis" menu. It is currently undocumented, but you should be able to figure it out by poking at the buttons. Here's a screenshot: http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/images/athena/peak... 2. An option at the bottom of the "Edit" menu for generating reports about the background removal and FT parameters for all the data groups. The options for these reports are plain text, Excel spreadsheet files, or comma-separated-value (csv) spreadsheets. The other new thing, which is relevant to Unix and Mac OSX users is a change to the build scripts. I have modified the Makefile.PL to incorporate a suggestion Matt had for avoiding the problems that several people reported this week regarding difficulties finding the PGPLOT library during the build of the ifeffit wrapper. The new build script works for me. I trust you will let me know if you have any problems. Special thanks this time to Adam Webb and Paul Fons who both found ways to crash Athena this week. Happily, they will both now have to start searching for new ways.
