liblvls releases

• Version 0.9 (12/03/2017)
  • Internal:
  • Some internal data structures have been simplified to allow cleaner compilation, especially with g++.


• Version 0.8 (11/28/2017)
  • Internal:
  • Default WnChar is now simply char. Change with environment variable WN_XML_CHAR.


• Version 0.7 (09/05/2016)
  • Fix:
  • A technical report has been updated.
  • Internal:
  • Internal types have been added to accommodate recent change to xmlStrPrintf (libxml 2.9.4).


• Version 0.6 (11/25/2011)
  • New:
  • Routines have been added to allow the user to change the format for level energies and Einstein A coefficients to XML output (closes liblvls:tickets:#2).
  • An example code has been added to convert a text file from the NIST Atomic Spectra Database to liblvls XML.
  • An example code has been added to print out spontaneous transitions into and out of a particular level in a species.


• Version 0.5 (09/01/2011)
  • Fix:
  • The routine to compute the Einstein coefficients has been corrected (fixes liblvls:tickets:#1).


• Version 0.4 (08/26/2011)
  • New:
  • liblvls is now hosted at SourceForge.net.
  • The examples/ directory now includes a regression test script generator.
  • Reorganization:
  • Examples directory has moved to same level as src/.
  • Example codes now have descriptive names.
  • Data for example codes is now downloaded separately.


• Version 0.3 (10/09/2010)
  • New:
  • New API routines permit the user to create zones, add them, relabel them, and remove them.
  • A new API routine allows the user to extract a copy of a species with a subset of levels selected by an XPath expression.
  • It is now possible to specify the order in which levels, species, and zones are iterated by supplying and applying a comparison function.
  • A new API routine allows users to sort the levels for a species.
  • Fix:
  • Some typos in documentation and technical reports have been fixed.
  • Reorganization:
  • The default iteration of levels is now by their current indices, which is initially set by the order in which they were added.


• Version 0.2 (02/14/2010)
  • New:
  • A new routine to compute the equilibrium probabilities of all levels of a species has been added.
  • Fix:
  • Some prototypes have been changed for better const correctness.
  • Some typos in documentation and technical reports have been fixed.
  • Reorganization:
  • Several prototypes have been changed to use size_t's instead of unsigned ints which allows routines to interface with gsl routines more cleanly.
  • Optional properties are now simply stored as strings. The previous Property structure has been replaced and the associated routines have been appropriately modified.
  • Iterations over zones, species, and levels are now sorted with qsort() which should greatly speed up iterations.


• Version 0.1 (10/02/2008)
  • New:
  • Initial Release
