Dear Bruce,

thanks a lot for this new version and for your engagement in the Free
Software cause. Your softwares Athena, Artemis and Atoms have been a
corner stone in my research in the last 10 years. Thanks a lot also to
Matt Newville for IFEFFIT.

Kind regards, Ismael Graff.




 Hi everyone,

 Today I am announcing my first official release of my latest version
 of my XAS data processing and analysis software.  The package is
 called Demeter, the version number is 0.9.9, and it includes new
 versions of Athena, Artemis, and Hephaestus.  In many ways, these are
 much like the versions of the software that have been in use for
 almost a decade.  In many ways, however, they offer important
 improvements, including better plotting, prettier GUIs, and lots of
 new analysis features.

 For those using Windows, you can download the installer package from

https://github.com/bruceravel/demeter/downloads

 For those using Linux, installation instructions can be found at

http://bruceravel.github.com/demeter/pods/installation.pod.html

 I am hoping that installer packages for the Mac and for specific Linux
 distributions will become available in the coming months.

 The Demeter versions of the programs can coexist on a computer with
 the old versions.  New Athena and old Athena peacefully coexist,
 indeed, they use the same project file format.  The project file
 format for new Artemis is different, however new Artemis can import
 project files from old Artemis.

 I am no longer developing the old versions.  I will no longer fix bugs
 or add new features to the old versions.  All of my future develop
 efforts will be devoted to the new versions.

 Here are some useful links:

   Demeter's github page:  https://github.com/bruceravel/demeter

   Demeter documentation:  http://bruceravel.github.com/demeter/

   Reporting bugs:  http://bruceravel.github.com/demeter/pods/bugs.pod.html

   Artemis instruction videos:  http://vimeo.com/channels/exafs


 It has been a joy to develop and support my software over the years.
 My interactions with the kind, engaged people in the community of
 Ifeffit users have been among the high points of my career.  I hope
 that you enjoy my new software as much as I enjoyed writing it.

 Regards,
 Bruce

 Thanks a lot also to Matt Newville for IFEFFIT.

Ismael,

Thank you for mentioning that.  I neglected to do so in my email.  Obviously, 
there wouldn't be an Athena or an Artemis without an Ifeffit.  Matt does a lot 
for all of us.

PS:  Did everyone notice how I misspelled release in the subject line?  Yup, 
this is certainly a quality operation I'm running here! :)
