 | Posted version 1.02b on the web site, this has template generation
and reading for cylinders and spheres. |
| Extended the precision for many of the on screen parameters. |
| Added progress bars for:
i) Angles
ii) Frequency
iii) Total Progress
iv) File flushing |
| Time estimates integrated on screen as well as in the time file. |
| Run time reports on screen. |
| Code converted to single thread windows code. |
| Start / Stop / Quit boxes added and functional for program. |
| Window maximize function disabled. |
| Warning dialog over debugging activated. |

| Generate Template button activated : write function only, read to be
added today. |
| Loop over bugs for radius in generic hexagonal lattices removed,
looping now works properly. |
| Redundant dlg_tab8 removed from code, no cross menu problems. |
| Two new directories, Coeff and Reports created to tidy up root
directory. |
| Run time estimate and final calculation time echoed to screen as
well as to time-estimate file. |
| VRML default colour scheme added, colours file added to allow user
to define own RGB values and names (to be acitvated) |

| Pre-release version just about ready... the licence file is
prepared, a draft manual is available !! |
| Implemented several pre set systems into the code |
| Normalized Freq. / Hz memory output is now fixed |
| New routines for resetting crystal features to allow predefined
systems to pick feature type |
| Generic hexagonal lattice implemented, GammaM & GammaK, pick
your own materials and features ! |
| Generic square lattice implemented, pick your own materials
and features ! |
| Predefined systems can be used as demonstrators for how to set up
your own crystals |
| Will release pre beta version tomorrow 11/02/2000 !!!!!! |

| Drop down list memories and auto sets the correct entry for systems
being set. |
| Coating and sintering check boxes auto set logically for zero valued
entries. |
| Logical coating array write before allocation errors fixed. |
|

11 |
| Complete independence from IP file existence, run the program and
defaults will be set. Unexpected end of file in IP file can cause
hang. Work around is just to delete IP file and restart & run or
regenerate IP file from Advanced / Help tab. |
| Get Defaults button implemented within Advanced / Help tab. |
| License information in place, although final license still to
verified. |
| Machine Accuracy and Eigen value filter in place : don't mess with
these unless you know what you are doing ! |
| Systems linkage in place, choose a predefined system and watch all
the on screen variables change. |
| Improved memory control and routine de-allocation |
|

10 |
Updated screen shots added, new About
tab concerning terms & conditions of use, IP file re-generation
and reload now visible within the advanced
tab option. |
| 27/01/00 |
9 |
Dynamic memory de-allocation & allocation bug fixed for regeneration
of control file from within interface. |
| 13/01/00 |
8 |
Windows directory creation calls created for sub directory folders,
overcomes possible hangs for accidental directory deletion. |
| 16/12/99 |
7 |
Intention to add a library function allowing the user to store any
templates for crystals for later use. Crystal naming and dynamic
rebuilding of the interface menu system will allow the user to recall any
template stored in the library. Under development. |
| 15/12/99 |
6 |
Save settings function enabled overcoming IP file
corruption possibilities. Facility added to regenerate control file with
GUI settings, and then reload file to refresh the dynamic memory
allocations. |
| 14/12/99 |
5 |
Help and About tabs introduced to menu. The user can now regenerate the
input control file after changing settings within the window which will
overcome possible input file corruption. (Menu Snap Shots do not show this
feature.....yet !!!) |
| 13/12/99 |
4 |
Powerful Windows GUI Interface Introduced and tested, some functionality
missing in Templates Window but this will be introduced. |
| 9/12/99 |
3 |
Current GUI too clumsy, apparent after demonstration, the dialogue
window is too cluttered. Re-write GUI using tab menus to separate distinct
functions /set-up features within the code. |
| 1/12/99 |
2 |
Preliminary single GUI developed, completely functional but eye
complicated. |
| 15/11/99 |
1 |
Elementary GUI investigated, routines for call back and variable control
investigated. |
