| + | ==Version 1.3.0== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Description=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | New features: Thick-target calculations are now fully-automated. The user is prompted if the thick target requires extra consideration, whereas, in older versions, the user would get error messages and have to fix it herself. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Changes=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Thick target calculations are now fully-automated | ||
| + | * Lifetime calculations are now fully-automated (one-click) | ||
| + | * Vacuum deorientation calculations are now fully-automated and can be run at any time when the experimental setup is complete. | ||
| + | * Tab-completion of filenames and paths | ||
| + | * Improved reading of AGS level schemes that are missing spin/parity assignments | ||
| + | * The assumed Q-value is lowered automatically when the projectile energy is too low | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Bug-fixes==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Fixed a bug that used the wrong kinematic solution for inverse kinematics in some fits. This caused inaccuracy in finding the minimum in some cases. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Errors are more graceful if the user tries to perform an operation before setup is complete. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The splash screen now renders properly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Known bugs and issues=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In all versions, it is possible to save an empty session over an existing session. Frequent backups of the working directory should be made. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This version is not backward-compatible with the beta versions; users must re-define the experimental | ||
| + | definitions. Level and matrix data CAN be exported from beta versions and imported to this version. All | ||
| + | later versions are expected to preserve backward compatibility with version 1.2.0 | ||
| + | Plots of collision functions cannot be generated for all states. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Recommendations=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To migrate from a beta version to version 1.1.4, export the level scheme and matrix, then import them into a | ||
| + | new session in this version. | ||

| + | ===Changes=== | ||
The normalization of calculated yields to experimental yields in the GUI now matches the normalization used by Gosia. The previous Rachel versions weighted yields by their fractional errors when calculating the normalizations. This can make plotting and understanding the chi-squared values confusing. For example, when low-intensity gamma-ray yields are poorly reproduced, the high-intensity yields can appear to be poorly reproduced. | The normalization of calculated yields to experimental yields in the GUI now matches the normalization used by Gosia.
