       the expectation is that such support will be removed in 5.0 and everyone

       have been made in the year since the previous release. Full release notes

       Highlights are:
         - Infrastucture for calculating 2D patterns from 3D orientated objects
           has now been totally refactored
         - Plugins have completely migrated to the new infrastructure now,
               including sum/multiply models

         - Numerous bug fixes
         - Lots of documentation enhancement

       This incremental release brings a series of new features and improvements,
       and a host of bug fixes. Of particular note are:
       - Correlation Function Analysis (Corfunc)
         This performs a correlation function analysis of one-dimensional SAXS/SANS data,
+        or generates a model-independent volume fraction profile from the SANS from an
         adsorbed polymer/surfactant layer.
+        A correlation function may be interpreted in terms of an imaginary rod moving
+        through the structure of the material. G1(R) is the probability that a rod of
+        length R moving through the material has equal electron/neutron scattering
+        length density at either end. Hence a frequently occurring spacing within a
         structure manifests itself as a peak.
+        A volume fraction profile \Phi(z) describes how the density of polymer
         segments/surfactant molecules varies with distance from an (assumed locally flat)
         interface.

+        be plotted against the correct axes and models will automatically perform a Hankel
         transform in order to calculate SESANS from a SANS model.

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

         models so that user created models in previous versions should continue

         - The on the fly discovery of plugin models and changes thereto behave

         register, the Load Plugin Models (under fitting -> Plugin Model
         Operations) can be used.  However, after calling Load Plugin Models, the

         - The model code and documentation review is ongoing. At this time the
         core shell parellelepiped is known to have the C shell effectively fixed
         at 0 (noted in documentation) while the triaxial ellipsoid does not seem
         to reproduce the limit of the oblate or prolate ellipsoid. If errors are
         found and corrected, corrected versions will be uploaded to the
         marketplace.
