[Ifeffit] news

[Bruce Ravel]

Hi everybody,

Today I made another new release of the source code tarball and built
a new Artemis executable for windows.  Users of each of the three
major platforms should read the notes below for information about this
release.

This will be the last release for a while.  June and July will be very
busy for me and I will have scant time to work on the codes until
August at the earliest.  I will be reading bug reports and suggestions
and will address them when I get back to work on the codes -- so
please continue to send them in.  Hopefully whatever bugs are lurking
in there will not prove too difficult to work around.

This release attempts to fix a problem managing the project folder in
Artemis, as reported by Stefano Ciurli.  The new version works
correctly for me, your milage may vary.

If any of you will be at the ISSRNS conference in Zakopane Poland next
week, please introduce yourself!

I hope everyone has a great summer! (Or a great winter for those of you
in the southern hemisphere!)

Notes for each of the platforms follow:

Linux (and other non-Mac OSX unixes):
  The source code tarball is on SourceForge and on my web site.  If
  the horae_update script fails, try using the --mirror argument as
  described in the help text (horae_update -h).

Mac OSX:
  There was no time to make a new installer package.  For the time
  being, you can use the most recent installer package, then update to
  the latest source code tarball from the command line.  This requires
  downloading the source tarball from SourceForge and unpacking it.
  Then, from the command line, type "perl Makefile.PL" then "make"
  then "sudo make install". The last step will prompt for the
  administrator password.  If you run into trouble, ask on the mailing
  list and one of the Mac users should be able to help you.

Windows:
  There was no time to prepare a new updater package for windows.
  Virtually all of the changes in my codes since the last updater
  package have been bug fixes to Artemis.  So I have made a new
  Artemis executable and placed it here:

    http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/packages/artemis_0.7.006.exe

  If you are up to date with the most recent updater package, just
  download this executable and overwrite the "artemis.exe" file in the
  instalation directory: "C:\Program Files\Ifeffit" (or where ever you
  have ifeffit installed on your computer).
