Bug Fixes ¶

SofQWNormalisedPolygon has been fixed to normalize the data correctly. Previous versions contained a bug when removing the bin-width normalization that may have already been present on the input data

Improvements ¶

New CNCS formula to calculate T0 accounts for different phasing of the choppers since August 2015
The documentation for all calibration approaches, including PSD tube calibration has been pulled together here.
Many improvements have been made to the VATES command line interface, these are detailed in the Framework section of the release notes.

Crystal Field ¶

A fitting function was added (CrystalFieldSpectrum) that fits crystal field parameters to a spectrum. It is based on fortran program FOCUS which was translated into C++.

Phonon DOS ¶

The old PySlice routine to compute the phonon DOS from powder data using the incoherent approximation has been ported and is now a Mantid Python Algorithm ComputeIncoherentDOS.
