XMI-MSIM 8.0: release notes
New
* This is a major update of XMI-MSIM, and is the result of almost two and a half years of work, including in the dependencies xraylib, Gtkmm-PLplot and easyRNG.
* The GUI has been largely rewritten from scratch, and the codebase quality has been improved considerably by removing spaghetti code and through unit testing whenever possible
* Gtk+2 is no longer supported
* Windows 32-bit is no longer supported
Changes
* Removed dependencies: curl and gtk-mac-integration
* Added dependencies: libpeas
* Add even more unicode support on Windows
* Add support for Metal on macOS to calculate solid angles
* Add support for X-ray sources written in Python
* Use XMI-MSIM API from Python scripts
Note
* This release is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Claudio Ferrero, who passed away far too soon in May 2018, and who was essential in the development of XMI-MSIM and of xraylib, by arranging for the necessary funding that allowed me to to finish my PhD and to spend time at the ESRF in his group.
