New Diamond Version 4.0.1

November 10, 2014

A maintenance release 4.0.1 of "Diamond", our software for crystal and molecular structure visualization, has just become available. In this new version several bugs have been fixed:

• Running the "Undo" command after "Structure/Insert Atom" or another changing of structural parameters caused Diamond to become instable, reporting error messages and sooner or later to crash.
• "Tools/Mouse Wheeling/Bond Radii": Bonds with style "thin" were not considered as well as bonds being "thick" but having very small radii, e.g. 0.005 Angstroem or lower.
• "Tools/Mouse Wheeling/Pump Up Or Shrink" could cause trouble or system hang-up.
• Printing was not available for diffraction diagram and distances histogram in the "Properties" pane.
• "Zoom" and "Track" did not work in the diffraction diagram.

For details, cf. our "Known Bugs" page.
