20
21    - New in Version 4.1.0
22      ------------------
23      This incremental release brings a series of new features and improvements,
24      and a host of bug fixes. Of particular note are:
25     
26      - Correlation Function Analysis (Corfunc)
27        This performs a correlation function analysis of one-dimensional SAXS/SANS data,
28        or generates a model-independent volume fraction profile from the SANS from an
29        adsorbed polymer/surfactant layer.
30
31        A correlation function may be interpreted in terms of an imaginary rod moving
32        through the structure of the material. Γ1D(R) is the probability that a rod of
33        length R moving through the material has equal electron/neutron scattering
34        length density at either end. Hence a frequently occurring spacing within a
35        structure manifests itself as a peak.
36
37        A volume fraction profile \Phi(z) describes how the density of polymer
38        segments/surfactant molecules varies with distance from an (assumed locally flat)
39        interface.
40
41      - Fitting of SESANS Data
42        Data from Spin-Echo SANS measurements can now be loaded and fitted. The data will
43        be plotted against the correct axes and models will automatically perform a Hankel
44        transform in order to calculate SESANS from a SANS model.
45
46      - Documentation
47        The documentation has undergone significant checking and updating.
48
49      - Improvements

190     - Fixes bug #457 that prevented SasView from starting if the user was not
191       connected to the internet, or was behind a proxy server.
192
193   - New in Version 3.1.0
194     --------------------
195     - The documentation/help has had a complete overhaul including:
196       - A completely new presentation interface (Sphinx).
197       - Proof reading!
198       - Updating for latest features.
199       - A Help (or sometimes ?) button has been added to every panel, and some
200         sub panels if appropriate, linking to the appropriate section in the
201         documentation.
202       - The model help has been split so that the Details button now brings up
203         a very short pop-up giving the equation being used while HELP goes to
204         the section in the full documentation describing the model.
205       - Extensive help has also been added for the new optimizer engine (see
206         below) including rules of thumb on how and when to choose a given
207         optimizer and what the parameters do.
208     - The optimizer engine has been completely replaced. The new optimizer
209       still defaults to the standard Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. However 4
210       other optimizers are now also available. Each starts with a set of default
211       parameters which can be tuned. The DREAM optimizer takes the longest but
212       is the most powerful and yields rich information including full parameter
213       correlation and uncertainty plots. A results panel has been added to
214       accommodate this.
215       - The five new optimizers are:
216         - A Levenberg-Marquardt optimizer
217         - A Quasi-Newton BFGS optimizer
218         - A Nelder-Mead Simplex optimizer
219         - A Differential Evolution optimizer
220         - A Monte Carlo optimizer (DREAM)
221     - New models were added:
222         - MicelleSphCoreModel (currently residing in the Uncategorized category)
223     - Existing models were updated:
224         - LamellarPS (bug in polydispersity integration fixed)
225         - RectangularPrismModel
226         - RectangularHollowPrismModel
227         - RectangularHollowPrismInfThinWallsModel
228     - Infrastructure to allow SESANS data to be fit with models was added. This
229       will become available in a future release but can currently be used from
230       the command line with some caveats.
231     - A number of bugs were fixed including a thread crashing issue and an
232       incorrect slit smearing resolution calculation.
233     - Implemented much more robust error logging to enable much easier
234       debugging in general but particularly the debugging of issues reported by
235       SasView users.
236     - A number of infrastructure tasks under the hood to enhance maintainability
237     - Upgrade from Wx 2.8 to Wx 3.0.2 which allows several new features but
238       required significant additional rework as well.
239     - Fully implemented Sphinx to the build process to produce both better
240       user documentation and developer documentation.
241     - Restructuring of the code base to more unified nomenclature and structure
242       so that the source installation tree more closely matches the installer
243       version tree.
244     - Code cleanup (an ongoing task) .
245     - Migration of the repository to github simplifying contributions from
246       non-project personnel through pull requests.
247
248   - New in Version 3.0.0
249     --------------------
250     - The GUI look and feel has been refactored to be more familiar for
251       Windows users by using MDI frames. Graph windows are also now free-
252       floating.
253     - Five new models have been added: PringlesModel, CoreShellEllipsoidXTModel,
254       RectangularPrismModel, RectangularHollowPrismModel and
255       RectangularHollowPrismInfThinWallsModel.
256     - The data loader now supports ILL DAT data files and reads the full meta
257       information from canSAS file formats.
258     - Redefined convention for specifying angular parameters for anisotropic
259       models.
260     - A number of minor features have been added such as permitting a log
261       distribution of points when using a model to simulate data, and the
262       addition of a Kratky plot option to the linear plots.
263     - A number of bugs have also been fixed.
264     - Save Project and Save Analysis now work more reliably.
265     - BETA: Magnetic contrast supporting full polarization analysis has been
266       implemented for some spherical and cylindrical models.
267     - BETA: Two new tools have been added:
268       - A generic scattering calculator which takes an atomic, magnetic or
269         SLD distribution in space and generates the appropriate 2D
270         scattering pattern. In some cases the orientationally averaged
271         (powder) 1D scattering can also be computed. Supported formats
272         include: SLD or text, PDB, and OMF magnetic moment distribution
273         file.
274       - An image viewer/converter for data in image format; this reads in
275         an image file and will attempt to convert the image pixels to

316         calculation
317
318     - Fitting
319       - Includes a large number of model functions, both form factors and structure factors.
320       - Support P(Q)*S(Q) for form factors that flag they can be so multiplied.
321       - Supports Gaussian, lognormal, Shulz, rectangular and custom distribution
322         functions for models that need to include polydispersity or for orientational
323         distributions if appropriate.
324       - Anisotropic shapes and magnetic moment modeling in 2D allow for a non-uniform
325         distribution of orientations of a given axis leading to modeling and fitting
326         capabilities of non azimuthaly symmetric data.
327       - User can choose to weight fits or not. If using weights, the user can choose
328         the error bar on each point if provided in the file, the square root
329         of the intensity or the intensity itself.
330       - Instrumental resolution smearing of model or fits is provided with several
331         options: read the resolution/point fromt he file. Input a pinhole resolution
332         or a slit resolution.
333       - Users can define the Qrange (Qmin and Qmax) for both 1D and 2D data for
334         fitting and modeling, but not graphically.  The range can be reset to the
335         defaults (limits of q in data set for a fit) with the reset button.
336       - A mask can be applied to 2D calculation and fitting.
337       - Normalized residual plots are provided with every fit.
338       - Model function help available through detail button or from the fitting panel.
339       - Simultaneous/(advanced)constrained fitting allows for fitting a single
340         data set or several different sets simultaneously with the application
341         of advanced constraints relating fit parameters to functions of other
342         parameters (including from a different set). For example thickness of
343         shell = sin(30) times the length.
344       - Models that are the sum of two other models can be easily generated through the
345         SUM Model menubar item.
346       - New Python models can be added on the fly by creating an appropriate Python
347         file in the model plugin directory. Two tools are provided to help:
348         An easy to use custom model editor allows the quick generation of new Python
349         models by supplying only the parameters and their default value (box 1)
350         and the mathematical function of the model (box 2) and generating the
351         necessary *.py file.  A separate advanced model editor provides a full Python
352         file editor.  Either way once saved the model becomes immediately available
353         to the application.
354       - A batch fitting capability allows for the analysis of a series of data sets to
355         a single model and provides the results in a tabular form suitable for saving
356         or plotting the evolution of the fit parameters with error bars (from within
357         the application).

413       - A data file or data folder can be passed to SasView when launched from
414         the command line.
415       - Limited bookmarking capability to later recall the results of a fit calculation
416         is provided.
417       - Extensive help is provided through context sensitive mouse roll-over,
418         information bar (at the bottom of the panel), the console menu, and
419         access to the help files in several different ways.

4222- Downloading and Installing
423=============================
424
425   *** Note 1:  Much more information is available at www.sasview.org under links.
426                    Look in the 'For Developers' section and particularly the wiki at
427                www.sasview.org/trac/wiki.
428   *** Note 2:  If you have EXE or ZIP SasView installer, you won't need any of
429                the following.  However it is highly recommended that any
430                previous versions be un-installed prior to installing the
431                new version.
432
433   2.1- System Requirements
434        - Python version >= 2.5 and < 3.0 should be running on the system
435        - We currently use Python 2.7
436
437   2.2- Installing from source
438        - Get the source code
439          - to follow the current development version from source control use
440              git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasview.git
441              git clone https://github.com/bumps/bumps.git
442          - to install a specific version
443
444        - Build, install and run a specific release
445          - make sure the requirements below are already installed
446          - retrieve the source from https://github.com/SasView/sasview/releases
447          - open a command line window in the 'sasview-x.x.x' directory
448          - run 'python setup.py install'
449          - run 'python sasview.py' under the 'sasview' folder.
450
451        - Build, install and run the current development version
452          - clone the source from git; also clone bumps, which is developed in parallel
453              git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasview.git
454              git clone https://github.com/bumps/bumps.git
455          - open a command line window in the 'sasview' directory
456          - run 'python setup.py build'
457          - run 'python run.py'; this runs from the source directories, so you
458            don't have to rebuild every time you make a change, unless you are
459            changing the C++ model files
460
461        - The following modules are required (version numbers are what are used
462          in the windows release build):

4973- Known Issues
498===============
499
500
501   4.1- All systems:
502      The conversion to sasmodels infrastructure is ongoing and should be
503      completed in the next release. In the meantime this leads to a few known
504      issues:
505        - The way that orientation is defined is being refactored to address
506        long standing issues and comments.  In release 4.1 however only models
507        with symmetry (e.g. a=b) have been converted to the new definitions.
508        The rest (a <> b <> c - e.g. parellelepiped) maintain the same
509        definition as before and will be converted in 4.2.  Note that
510        orientational distribution also makes much more sense in the new
511        framework.  The documentation should indicate which definition is being
512        used for a given model.
513        - The infrastructure currently handles internal conversion of old style
514        models so that user created models in previous versions should continue
515        to work for now. At some point in the future such support will go away.
516        Everyone is encouraged to convert to the new structure which should be
517        relatively straight forward and provides a number of benefits.
518        - In that vein, the distributed models and those generated by the new
519        plugin model editor are in the new format, however those generated by
520        sum|multiply models are the old style sum|multiply models. This should
521        also disappear in the near future
522        - The on the fly discovery of plugin models and changes thereto behave
523        inconsistently.  If a change to a plugin model does not seem to
524        register, the Load Plugin Models (under fitting -> Plugin Model
525        Operations) can be used.  However, after calling Load Plugin Models, the
526        active plugin will no longer be loaded (even though the GUI looks like
527        it is) unless it is a sum|multiply model which works properly.  All
528        others will need to be recalled from the model dropdown menu to reload
529        the model into the calculation engine.  While it might be annoying it
530        does not appear to prevent SasView from working..
531        - The model code and documentation review is ongoing. At this time the
532        core shell parellelepiped is known to have the C shell effectively fixed
533        at 0 (noted in documentation) while the triaxial ellipsoid does not seem
534        to reproduce the limit of the oblate or prolate ellipsoid. If errors are
535        found and corrected, corrected versions will be uploaded to the
536        marketplace.
537   
538   3.1- All systems:
539        - The documentation window may take a few seconds to load the first time
540          it is called. Also, an internet connection is required before
541          equations will render properly. Until then they will show in their
542          original TeX format.
543        - If the documentation window remains stubbornly blank, try installing a
544          different browser and set that as your default browser. Issues have
545          been noted with Internet Explorer 11.
546        - Check for Updates may fail (with the status bar message ' Cannot
547          connect to the application server') if your internet connection uses
548          a proxy server. Tested resolutions for this are described on the
549          website FAQ.
550        - The copy and paste functions (^C, ^V) in the batch mode results grid
551          require two clicks: one to select the cell and a second to select the
552          contents of the cell.
553        - The tutorial has not yet been updated and is somewhat out of date
554        - Very old computers may struggle to run the 3.x and later releases
555        - Polydispersity on multiple parameters included in a simultaneous/
556          constrained fit will likely not be correct
557        - Constrained/simultaneous fit page does not have a stop button
558        - Constrained/simultaneous fit do not accept min/max limits
559        - Save project does not store the state of all the windows
560        - Loading projects can be very slow
561        - Save Project only works once a data set has been associated with
562          a model.  Error is reported on status bar.
563        - There is a numerical precision problem with the multishell model when
564          the iner radius gets large enough (ticket #288)
565        - The angular distribution angles are not clearly defined and may in
566          some cases lead to incorrect calculations(ticket #332)
567
568   3.2- Windows:
569        - If installed to same directory as old version without first removing
570          the old version, the old desktop icon will remain but point to the
571          new exe version. Likewise all the start menu folders and items will
572          have the old name even though pointing to the new version.  Usually
573          safest to uninstall old version prior to installing new version anyway.
574
575   3.3- MAC:
576        - Application normally starts up hidden. Click icon in Dock to view/use
577          application.
578        - Multiprocessing does not currently work on MAC OS
579
580   3.4- Linux:
581        - Not well tested
