New Match! version 3.2.1

April 22, 2016

We have just released a new version 3.2.1 of Match!, our software for phase identification from powder diffraction data. The new version provides some minor improvements as well as bug fixes:

• The initial dialog asking a new user to select the path to his FullProf installation is now displayed later on (if required) when the user wants to run a Rietveld refinement calculation for the first time.
• The header of the "intensity" column in the peak list now gives the exact type of values ("Peak height" or "Integrated intensity"), depending on the scaling of the y-axis in the pattern graphics as "relative intensities (I rel.)" (peak heights scaled to a maximum 1000.0) or "Counts" (-> integrated peak intensities)).
• In the Match list, quantitative amounts of phases for which the default I/Ic-value had to be used (because the corresponding entries did not contain a I/Ic-value), are now displayed in red color (instead of the former '(*)' indicator that was used up to now).
• Several bugs have been fixed:
  • Some intensity scaling issues in the pattern graphics have been resolved.
  • A bug affecting the command "File/Print/Data sheet" has been fixed.
  • The sorting of the Match list according to the quantitative amounts did not work properly if the default I/Ic-value of 1.0 was used for at least one of the phases.
  • In certain circumstances, Match! was unable to find the "Diamond" program on Windows PCs.
  • Some minor bugs have been fixed as well.
