New Diamond Version 4.0.3
May 6, 2015
A maintenance release 4.0.3 of "Diamond", our software for crystal and molecular
structure visualization, has just become available. In this new version several bugs have been fixed:
- "Voronoi polyhedra" dialog: Voronoi polyhedra can now be created around multiple
selected (central) atoms.
- Voronoi polyhedra function sometimes found "too many" neighbouring atoms or atoms
too far away and/or unreasonable edge atoms ("<vertex>").
- Properties pane: No or wrong info for "Dirichlet domain", if table of polyhedra
was active above.
- Runtime error could occur (and terminate Diamond) when Diamond failed to restore
last working directory.
- Option "Automatically create atoms and bonds" did not work properly when importing
structure data having no translational symmetry, e.g. from an XYZ file.
- Location of POV-Ray executable (when running a POV-Ray command) showed message boxed
that were "forgotten" and not addressed to end user.
- No context menus in the tables for distances/angles as well as reflection parameters.
- "Transform" toolbar was not available. Now accessible via "View/Toolbars" submenu.
- Diamond could hang up, if input data contained coordinates deviating heavily from
normalized coordinates, e.g. "Fe1 150 -120 170".
For details, cf. our "Known Bugs" page.
Diamond version 4 customers should use the online update function (menu "Help/Online update") or check the "Diamond Version 4 Update Page"
