    1919With this version the change to the new model API and plugins infrastructure 
    20 begun with 4.0 is essentially complete (though extensions are in the works

     20begun with 4.0 is essentially complete (though extensions are in the works, 
     21and more are likely, they should remain backwardly compatible with previous 
    2222versions of SasView).

    24 .. warning:: Old-style plugin models, including old sum|multiply models will continue 
    25              to be supported (i.e. SasView will be able to run them) in 4.x. However, 
    26              the expectation is that such support will be removed in 5.0 and everyone 
    27              is strongly encouraged to convert their custom models to the new API. 
     24.. warning:: Old-style plugin models, including old sum|multiply models, continue 
     25             to be supported (i.e. SasView will run them) in 4.x, although our 
     26             automatic on-the-fly translation may not cope in all use cases (see  
     27             Known Issues below). However, this backward compatibility will be  
     28             removed in 5.0 and users are therefore strongly encouraged to  
     29             convert their custom models to the new API.

    2931Finally, the changes to orientation angles and orientational distribution 
     
    5658  objects have been rectified. Some questions remain however. 
    5759* The known issue with the core_shell_parallelepiped model is now fixed. 
     60* An error in the be_polyelectrolyte model was identified and rectified, but  
     61  the fix is yet to be validated. 
    5862* A number of issues and inconsistencies with the creation of 
    5963  sum|multiply models have been rectified. 
     
    6468* There are several data loading improvements. 
    6569* There are several improvements to Save/Load Project. 
     70* The SasView version number now appears in Reports. 
     71* The Release Notes are now available from the program Help menu. 
    6672* There have been numerous other bug fixes. 
    6773 
     
    7076Several sections of the help documentation have undergone significant 
    7177checking and updating, particularly those relating to orientation, 
    72 magnetic scattering, and polydispersity distributions. Detailed 
    73 advanced instructions for plugin writing and some scripting 
    74 instructions have been added.

     80Detailed advanced instructions for plugin writing and some scripting 
     81instructions have also been added. 
     82 
     83Concerns about the intended versus implemented meaning of some parameters 
     84in the bcc_paracrystal, fcc_paracrystal, and sc_paracrystal models have 
     85been brought to our attention. These have yet to be resolved and so a 
     86Warning has been placed on each of these models. Anyone who feels they 
     87may have the requisite expertise to investigate these concerns is strongly 
     88encouraged to contact the Developers!
