Since we are on the topic of new releases: could someone verify the correctness of formulae in the tutorial http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep_Tutorial/Material_dispersion I have got an impression that there are some 2*pi factors wrong (I have already written about this in the mailing list and written down the formulae which are correct according to me: http://www.mail-archive.com/meep-discuss@ab-initio.mit.edu/msg03817.html) But, obviously, I could be wrong.
