Hi folks
We are releasing version 6.2.5 of Mosflm as both build-it-yourself and
pre-built versions. You will need CCP4 version 5.0 (or later) installed if
you wish to build it.
The main download site is:
http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/mosflm/index.html
Pre-built versions are available for the following machines/operating
systems; there are "SD" (= "Small Display") versions for those of you who
have small monitors.
* DEC/Compaq/HP Alpha Tru64 v5.1 UNIX (static and dynamic library builds)
* Irix 6.5 (64-bit and "new-style" 32-bit binaries)
* PC Linux (Fedora Core 3 and Red Hat 9.0)
* Mac OS X (10.3 and 10.4)
* Linux PowerPC (Debian 3.0 "Woody")
Major new features include:
* Detector contribution to uncertainty in sigma(I) has been improved.
* More types of excluded area can now be specified, either via the
command-line (see major command EXCLUDE) or using mouse clicks on an
image in the GUI. The new areas are
o generalized convex quadrilateral
o inside an arc region
o outside an arc region
o Ice or other powder rings can also be picked with mouse clicks.
This has been accompanied by a tidying up of the "Beam/backstop"
button in the GUI.
* Autoindexing has been further improved, and is also more flexible and
gives (optionally) more feedback. All options are available via
either the GUI or comand line indexing. These include:
o choice of minimum cell edge
o L.S. refinement of basis triclinic solution prior to symmetry
tests
o Distortion index in addition to Penalty for each solution
* The user can now choose either hexagonal (H3, H32) or rhombohedral
(R3, R32) axes for rhombohedral cells (thanks to Marian Szebenyi).
* New detectors added include MarMosaic 325mm and Ed Westbrook's lens
coupled CCD detector (NOIR at APS).
* output files can now be written for input directly to BEST, Sasha
Popov & Gleb Bourenkov's improved strategy program.
* minor improvements to STRATEGY option
* numerous small bug fixes and minor changes.
Comments etc to the usual suspects!
