    11Release Notes

    441- Features 
    55=========== 
    66    - New in Version 4.2.0 
    77      -------------------- 
    8       This point release heralds many improvements and a host of bug fixes. But there are also some significant changes from previous versions.

     8      This release heralds many improvements and a host of bug fixes, along with 
     9      some significant changes from previous versions. Further, as promised, it 
     10      marks the end of support for 32 bit operating systems and is only 
     11      available for 64 bit operating systems. 
     12 
     13      With this version the change to the new model API and plugins infrastructure 
     14      begun with 4.0 is essentially complete (though extensions are in the works 
     15      and more are likely they should remain backwardly compatible with previous 
     16      versions of SasView). 
     17 
     18      NOTE: Old-style plugin models, including old sum|multiply models will continue 
     19      to be supported (i.e. SasView will be able to run them) in 4.x. However, 
     20      the expectation is that such support will be removed in 5.0 and everyone 
     21      is strongly encouraged to convert their custom models to the new API. 
     22 
     23      Finally, the changes to orientation angles and orientational distribution 
     24      definitions are now also complete. 
     25 
    1026      - Changes 
    11          - The infrastucture for calculating 2D patterns from 3D orientated objects has been totally re-factored. It is now more accurate and consistent across models. 
    12          - The way that SasView defines the orientation of anisometric and aligned objects has been completely overhauled. It now differs from previous versions. 
    13          - Plugin models, including sum/multiply models, have completely migrated to the new infrastructure. ???DO WE NEED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY OR LEGACY SUPPORT HERE??? 
    14          - The NeXus loader has been removed (as it is superseded by the NXcanSAS loader). 
     27         - The infrastucture for calculating 2D patterns from 3D orientated objects 
     28           has been totally re-factored. It is now more accurate and consistent 
     29           across models. 
     30         - The way that SasView defines the orientation of anisometric and 
     31           aligned objects has been completely overhauled. It now differs from 
     32           previous versions. 
     33         - Plugin models, including sum|multiply models, have completely migrated 
     34           to the new infrastructure. NOTE that 3.x type models as well as early, 
     35           intermediate 4.x type models, including those generated by sum|multiply 
     36           will continue to be supported in 4.x but will likely no longer be 
     37           supported after the move to 5.0.  Users are strongly encouraged to 
     38           migrate any custom models. 
     39         - The NeXus loader has been removed as it is superseded by the NXcanSAS 
     40           standard loader and SasView does not support the treatment of raw 
     41           data. 
    1542      - Improvements 
    16          - The accuracy/speed of some numerical integrations have been improved. ???CHECK WITH PAULK??? 
    17          - An orientation viewer tool has been introduced (to assist in understanding the new orientation framework). 
    18          - Problems with the computation of magnetic scattering from some objects have been rectified. 
     43         - The accuracy/speed of some numerical integrations have been improved. 
     44         - An orientation viewer tool has been introduced to assist in 
     45           understanding the new orientation framework. 
     46         - Problems with the computation of magnetic scattering from some 
     47           objects have been rectified. Some questions remain however. 
    1948         - The known issue with the core_shell_parallelepiped model is now fixed. 
    20          - A number of issues and inconsistencies with the creation of sum|product models have been rectified (and more work is in progress). 
    21          - A Boltzmann distribution has been added for polydispersity/orientational distributions. 
     49         - A number of issues and inconsistencies with the creation of 
     50           sum|multiply models have been rectified. 
     51         - A Boltzmann distribution has been added for polydispersity/orientational 
     52           distributions. 
    2253         - Some batch slicing options have been introduced. 
    2354         - Correlation function analysis now computes both the 1D and 3D functions. 
    2455         - There are several data loading improvements. 
    25          - There are several improvements to Save/Load Project (with more to come). 
     56         - There are several improvements to Save/Load Project. 
    2657         - There have been numerous other bug fixes. 
    2758      - Documentation 
    28          Several sections of the help documentation have undergone significant checking and updating, particularly those relating to orientation, magnetic scattering, and polydispersity distributions. 
     59           Several sections of the help documentation have undergone significant 
     60           checking and updating, particularly those relating to orientation, 
     61           magnetic scattering, and polydispersity distributions. Detailed 
     62           advanced instructions for plugin writing and some scripting 
     63           instructions have been added. 
    2964      - Other work 
    30          - A Third-Party initiative has recently succeeded in getting SasView to run on Debian. More details at http://trac.sasview.org/wiki/DevNotes/Projects/Debian 
    31          - With this release we have started to prepare for the inevitable move to Python 3. 
    32          - SasView 5.0 is already in development. The two most significant features of this version will be (i) a move away from the present WxPython GUIs to new Qt5 GUIs, and (ii) implementation of the Beta-approximation for S(Q). Subject to resources, the latter functionality may be released (in a non-GUI form) in an interim SasView 4.3.0. 
     65         - A Third-Party initiative has recently succeeded in getting SasView to 
     66           run on Debian. More details at 
     67           http://trac.sasview.org/wiki/DevNotes/Projects/Debian 
     68         - With this release we have started to prepare for the inevitable move 
     69           to Python 3, which will occur with the release of 5.0 
     70         - SasView 5.0 is currently in development. The two most significant 
     71           features of this version will be (i) a move away from the present 
     72           WxPython GUIs to new, completely rewritten, Qt5 GUIs, and 
     73           (ii)implementation of the Beta-approximation for S(Q). Subject to 
     74           resources, some limited access to the latter functionality may be 
     75           available in a future SasView 4.x release.

    … …  
    200249      This incremental release brings a series of new features and improvements, 
    201250      and a host of bug fixes. Of particular note are: 
    202        
     251 
    203252      - Correlation Function Analysis (Corfunc) 
    204         This performs a correlation function analysis of one-dimensional SAXS/SANS data,  
    205             or generates a model-independent volume fraction profile from the SANS from an  
    206             adsorbed polymer/surfactant layer. 
    207  
    208             A correlation function may be interpreted in terms of an imaginary rod moving  
    209             through the structure of the material. Γ1D(R) is the probability that a rod of  
    210             length R moving through the material has equal electron/neutron scattering  
    211             length density at either end. Hence a frequently occurring spacing within a  
    212             structure manifests itself as a peak. 
    213  
    214             A volume fraction profile \Phi(z) describes how the density of polymer  
    215             segments/surfactant molecules varies with distance from an (assumed locally flat) 
    216             interface. 
     253        This performs a correlation function analysis of one-dimensional SAXS/SANS data, 
     254        or generates a model-independent volume fraction profile from the SANS from an 
     255        adsorbed polymer/surfactant layer. 
     256 
     257        A correlation function may be interpreted in terms of an imaginary rod moving 
     258        through the structure of the material. G1(R) is the probability that a rod of 
     259        length R moving through the material has equal electron/neutron scattering 
     260        length density at either end. Hence a frequently occurring spacing within a 
     261        structure manifests itself as a peak. 
     262 
     263        A volume fraction profile \Phi(z) describes how the density of polymer 
     264        segments/surfactant molecules varies with distance from an (assumed locally flat) 
     265        interface. 
    217266 
    218267      - Fitting of SESANS Data 
    219         Data from Spin-Echo SANS measurements can now be loaded and fitted. The data will  
    220             be plotted against the correct axes and models will automatically perform a Hankel  
    221             transform in order to calculate SESANS from a SANS model. 
     268        Data from Spin-Echo SANS measurements can now be loaded and fitted. The data will 
     269        be plotted against the correct axes and models will automatically perform a Hankel 
     270        transform in order to calculate SESANS from a SANS model. 
    222271 
    223272      - Documentation 
    224         The documentation has undergone significant checking and updating.

    284             custom models should be converted to the new model format which 
    285             is now the same as the built in models and offers much better 
    286             support. 
     333              custom models should be converted to the new model format which 
     334              is now the same as the built in models and offers much better

    605                 www.sasview.org/trac/wiki. 
    606    *** Note 2:  If you have EXE or ZIP SasView installer, you won't need any of 
    607                 the following.  However it is highly recommended that any 
    608                 previous versions be un-installed prior to installing the 
    609                 new version. 
     646   *** Note 1:  If you have a SasView installer (.EXE or .MSI), you do not need to  
     647                worry about any of the following.  However, it is highly recommended  
     648                that any previous versions of SasView are uninstalled prior to  
     649                installing the new version UNLESS you are installing SasView to  
     650                versioned folders. 
     651 
     652   *** Note 2:  The easiest approach to setting up the proper environment to 
     653                build from source is to use Conda.  Instructions for setting up 
     654                and using Conda can be found at:

     665   2.2- Package Dependencies 
     666        - Ensure the required dependencies are installed 
     667          - For the latest list of dependencies see the appropriate yml file in 
     668            the SasView repo at sasview/build_tools/conda/ymls 
     669 
     670   2.3- Installing from Source 
    616671        - Get the source code 
    617           - to follow the current development version from source control use 
    618               git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasview.git 
    619               git clone https://github.com/bumps/bumps.git 
    620           - to install a specific version 
    621  
    622         - Build, install and run a specific release 
    623           - make sure the requirements below are already installed 
    624           - retrieve the source from https://github.com/SasView/sasview/releases 
    625           - open a command line window in the 'sasview-x.x.x' directory 
    626           - run 'python setup.py install' 
    627           - run 'python sasview.py' under the 'sasview' folder. 
    628  
    629         - Build, install and run the current development version 
    630           - clone the source from git; also clone bumps, which is developed in parallel

     703      There are currently no major known issues. A full list of known bugs and 
     704      feature requests by release version that users may wish to be aware of 
     705      can be viewed at http://trac.sasview.org/report/3 
     706      NOTE: Any corrections to models that may become known/available will be 
     707      posted to Marketplace as available (and fixed in the following release)

    678709   4.1- All systems: 
    … …  
    681712      issues: 
    682713        - The way that orientation is defined is being refactored to address 
    683         long standing issues and comments.  In release 4.1 however only models 
    684         with symmetry (e.g. a=b) have been converted to the new definitions. 
    685         The rest (a <> b <> c - e.g. parellelepiped) maintain the same 
    686         definition as before and will be converted in 4.2.  Note that 
    687         orientational distribution also makes much more sense in the new 
    688         framework.  The documentation should indicate which definition is being 
    689         used for a given model. 
     714          long standing issues and comments.  In release 4.1 however only models 
     715          with symmetry (e.g. a=b) have been converted to the new definitions. 
     716          The rest (a <> b <> c - e.g. parellelepiped) maintain the same

     718          orientational distribution also makes much more sense in the new 
     719          framework.  The documentation should indicate which definition is being 
     720          used for a given model. 
    690721        - The infrastructure currently handles internal conversion of old style 
    691         models so that user created models in previous versions should continue 
    692         to work for now. At some point in the future such support will go away. 
    693         Everyone is encouraged to convert to the new structure which should be 
    694         relatively straight forward and provides a number of benefits.

     724          Everyone is encouraged to convert to the new structure which should be 
     725          relatively straight forward and provides a number of benefits. 
    695726        - In that vein, the distributed models and those generated by the new 
    696         plugin model editor are in the new format, however those generated by 
    697         sum|multiply models are the old style sum|multiply models. This should 
    698         also disappear in the near future  
     727          plugin model editor are in the new format, however those generated by 
     728          sum|multiply models are the old style sum|multiply models. This should 
     729          also disappear in the near future 
    699730        - The on the fly discovery of plugin models and changes thereto behave 
    700         inconsistently.  If a change to a plugin model does not seem to 
    701         register, the Load Plugin Models (under fitting -> Plugin Model 
    702         Operations) can be used.  However, after calling Load Plugin Models, the 
    703         active plugin will no longer be loaded (even though the GUI looks like 
    704         it is) unless it is a sum|multiply model which works properly.  All 
    705         others will need to be recalled from the model dropdown menu to reload 
    706         the model into the calculation engine.  While it might be annoying it 
    707         does not appear to prevent SasView from working.. 
     731          inconsistently.  If a change to a plugin model does not seem to 
     732          register, the Load Plugin Models (under fitting -> Plugin Model 
     733          Operations) can be used.  However, after calling Load Plugin Models, the 
     734          active plugin will no longer be loaded (even though the GUI looks like

     737          the model into the calculation engine.  While it might be annoying it 
     738          does not appear to prevent SasView from working.. 
    708739        - The model code and documentation review is ongoing. At this time the 
    709         core shell parellelepiped is known to have the C shell effectively fixed 
    710         at 0 (noted in documentation) while the triaxial ellipsoid does not seem 
    711         to reproduce the limit of the oblate or prolate ellipsoid. If errors are 
    712         found and corrected, corrected versions will be uploaded to the 
    713         marketplace.  
    714     
     740          core shell parellelepiped is known to have the C shell effectively fixed
