[nmag-announce] update of 0.1 beta release (5787)
Hans Fangohr
we have released an update of nmag 0.1 beta (5787) at
http://nmag.soton.ac.uk.
* Bug fixes/Improvements/New Features
* We have a new distribution mode using VMWare's vmplayer. This is
particularly attractive to MS Windows users. This is at a very early
stage (i.e. experimental) and and we invite feedback from early adaptors.
* Updated the Knoppix CD to the most recent version, and to include the
Netgen mesh generator.
* ncol can now process OOMMF's odt files (use --odt switch)
* Bugfix: the previous debian package could only execute on CPUs
with sse2 extension.
* Bugfix: fixed embarrassing bug that appeared with the last release
(printing of applied field brakes when first component is zero).
* Interface changes
* removed support for thermal fluctuations. There appeared to be no
up-take of this feature, and maintaining this (while developing the
code further, parallelising it and making faster and leaner) was
unnecessarily binding resources.
The debian package, install-from-source tarball, the Knoppix live-CD
and the new virtual machine have been updated to this release.
Best wishes,
Hans (on behalf of the nmag team)
