Hi everyone,

OK, I've just uploaded Neuromantic V1.6.2 to the site - I've made sure
the ZIP file works this time, also ;)

V1.6.2 mainly adds some bug fixes and minor features over V1.6.1, and
I'm quietly confident that I've finally squashed the horribly annoying
byzantine error that I've been trying to track down for several
releases.

I've altered the selectable bounding boxes on compartments so that
they're now the entire width of the compartment, rather than always 10
pixels either side. Lone nodes (with parent nor child) also display
their radius now in the form of a circle around the midpoint, and it
should be easier to select/drag around the root soma point of a tree
that's surrounded by child compartments.

Another handy addition is the ability to press Ctrl+W and cycle
through all the currently selected segments. This could be useful
when correcting trifurcations or similar.

In terms of semi-automatic reconstruction, a median radius filter
operation has been added that helps compensate for radius estimation
errors. The radius of each compartment is simply calculated as the
median of the estimated radii of a 3 compartment neighbourhood along
the neurite.

It's also now possible to Autoselect overlapping points i.e. points
that have exactly the same coordinates as another point in the tree.
It was primarily added for Duncan Donohue, who's currently
administrating the NeuroMorpho archive, and shouldn't be needed in the
standard course of a reconstruction. In the case of overlapping
identical subtrees, it will currently just select one of the subtrees
arbitrarily (depending on ordering in the list). I believe that it
should select entire overlapping subtrees due to the way the tree
sorting algorithms work, but it's conceivable that in some
circumstances it will select some from both - let me know if this
happens.
