[Ifeffit] new versions of Athena and Artemis using Ifeffit 1.2.0

[Bruce Ravel]

Hi folks,

Today I posted a new source code tarball for Athena and Artemis to my
web site.  I did *not* post new Windows executables, however.

Linux, Unix, and OSX users should first upgrade Ifeffit by grabbing
the Ifeffit 1.2.0 tarball from Matt's web site and then grabbing the
tarball from my web site or run the horae_update script.

Windows users should wait until Matt announces the new Windows
installer (which is almost ready to be released) and download that.
Future Windows executables of Athena and Artemis will assume that you
have already updated the base Ifeffit package.


New stuff this time:

  1. The horae_update script is a bit smarter in that it compares the
     version on the server to the version on your computer and does
     nothing if you seem to be up to date.
  2. New features of Ifeffit 1.2.0 are used, such as rebinning in
     Athena and fits in Artemis with multiple-data-sets,
     multiple-k-weights, and/or background co-refinements.
  3. Better reporting of ill-posed variables in Artemis (based on
     Ifeffit's reporting of the same).
  4. Better reporting of best-fit path lengths after a fit finishes.
  5. Check for mismatched parentheses in math expressions in Artemis
     (a HUGE problem in prior versions).
  6. Examples of multiple-data-set fits in the form of artemis project
     files.  Look for the files examples/artemis/EuTiO3/eto.apj and
     examples/artemis/Cu/temparatures.apj in the source code tarball
     or C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\examples\EuTiO3\eto.apj and
     C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\examples\Cu\temparatures.apj on
     Windows.  Be sure to read the comments in the project journals of
     those two files.
     
   + several bug fixes 

Regards,
B
