Enhancements in version 1.4
-
Molecules can now be rotated around a reference atom which
has been fixed to a certain position.
-
The structure solution wizard has been significantly improved
concerning the handling of molecules. For example, you can place and fix (and
optionally allow rotation of) molecules at certain positions by clicking
on the "Place molecule(s)..." button on page 2 of the structure solution wizard
(formerly named "Advanced settings...").
-
Before the actual structure solution calculation is started,
Endeavour now compares the peak positions calculated from the unit cell
parameters to the experimental values and displays a warning if a large
deviation is found.
-
Some internal optimization parameters have been optimized.
-
Some bugs have been fixed. Compare "Known
Bugs" page.
Enhancements in version 1.3b
-
A bug that could lead to negative counts on the "Define atoms in unit cell"
page (Page 3 of 7 of "Preparation of structure solution" wizard) has been
fixed.
-
A bug that allowed the option "Local refinement", if all atoms were placed but
contained at least some unfixed parameters, has been fixed.
Enhancements in version 1.3a
-
A bug affecting the fixing of atom coordinates to special positions has been
fixed.
-
The problem concerning the online update on Windows 98/ME systems has been
resolved.
