The most interesting changes +in this version are the new "prediction refinement" stage in +"indexamajig" and improvements to the scaling and post-refinement +program "partialator". There are also a couple of new indexing methods. + +The prediction refinement stage improves the quality of spot prediction +and hence the initial parameter estimates of the spot partialities. It +is also able to update the central beam position. + +The improvements to partialator include a significantly more stable +scaling procedure. Partialator is no longer considered experimental as +of this version, so please try it and send feedback. With the +combination of this and the new prediction refinement, many users are +already finding significant improvements in data quality. See the +release notes (link below) and the updated tutorial on the CrystFEL +website for more details. + +The new indexing methods are "asdf", which is an algorithm built into +CrystFEL which therefore requires no external programs, and +"mosflm-cell" which uses the prior unit cell algorithm in recent (7.2.0 +or later) versions of mosflm. "mosflm-cell" is now the default +behaviour for mosflm - if it doesn't work for you, explicitly specify +"mosflm-nocell" to restore the old behaviour. + +In addition, there are many smaller improvements, new features and bug +fixes. + +Thanks for all of your past and future feedback and contributions, and +your continued use of CrystFEL. As ever, please contact me directly if +you would prefer to be unsubscribed from this mailing list. + +CrystFEL website: +http://www.desy.de/~twhite/crystfel + +Release notes for version 0.6.1: +http://www.desy.de/~twhite/crystfel/relnotes-0.6.1 + +CrystFEL tutorial: +http://www.desy.de/~twhite/crystfel/tutorial + +Tom |
