Dear VESTA users,
VESTA 3.4.5 is now available from
http://jp-minerals.org/vesta/
Changes in this release are as follows.
==================================
- Fixed a bug in conversion of structure parameters when
changing setting of the space group P b a n (No. 50).
- Enabled conversion of structure parameters to keep geometry
when changing space group settings, even when transformation
matrix is set.
- Updated orthorhombic space group symbols containing symmetry
element "e" to comply with the latest standards, e.g., A e m 2
instead of A b m 2. Files with old symbols are still supported.
- Fixed crash on Ubuntu Linux.
- Enabled to run on macOS 10.14 Mojave, and dropped support for
OS X 10.6-10.8. The minimum supported version is now OS X 10.9.
- Related to the above change, hardware anti-aliasing (OpenGL
sample buffers) is disabled by default on macOS to work around a
regression on some platforms. To re-enable hardware
anti-aliasing, open the Preferences dialog box, check on "Enable
hardware anti aliasing", close the dialog box by pressing OK
button and restart VESTA.
- Enabled to edit colors from objects list on macOS version.
- Enabled to run simulation of powder diffraction patterns using
the latest RIETAN-FP.
- Updated a file bvparm2013.cif to bvparm2016.cif, which
contains a list of bond valence parameters.
Sincerely,
Koichi Momma
