New Diamond Version 4.6.7

February 24, 2022

A minor update 4.6.7 of "Diamond", our software for crystal and molecular structure visualization, has just become available. This new version has an improvement and corrects some bugs:

• A single structure picture can now be printed without a frame around it. Cf. "Tools/Options" dialog, "Desktop" page.
• The following bugs have been resolved:
  • If there was only one dataset in the CIF input file and this dataset was initialized with "data_global", no data were imported.
  • Save dialog could fail (Error 12290 - invalid character in file path) when using commands to save graphics data, a single structure data set, a table, or reflection data.
  • Bond labels and info tip now show 4 rather than 3 decimal places avoiding "(0)" in standard uncertainties.
  For details, see the "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" for alternative update choices.
