🔨️ Build Tools
1.4.3
Version 1.4.3 is a patch release addressing some general usability issues.
Minor Changes in v1.4.3
- Fix: Documentation links in Help menu.
- Fix: Module setup is now run correctly after loading a restart file.
- New: Frequency normalisation in QSpecies module.
Major Changes in v1.4.2
Fixes crashes when adding a new module to any layer, and when adding an EPSR module when there are no configurations present.
Major Changes in v1.4.1
Version 1.4.1 fixes some calculation issues with the QSpecies
module where the proportion of Q(0) species was not correctly determined, and which could result in misleading results.
Major Changes in v1.4
Input File Compatibility with v1.3
There are no expected incompatibilities with input files from version 1.3, but users may notice warning messages because of the transition away from some configuration keywords towards dedicated procedure nodes.
UI
Many improvements in layout, icons, and usability have been made in the main UI. Version 1.4 also begins the long journey towards reimplementing the majority of the UI in QML. At present only the Add Forcefield Terms dialog has been transitioned as a test case, so users may notice some subtle differences in the look & feel compared to the rest of the UI.
TOML-format Input Files
Version 1.4 now has the capability to read and write TOML-formatted input files, although this is not directly visible to the user at present. While the existing "txt"-style files are still the standard, it is intended to move to TOML as the standard, and drop support for txt input files, in version 2.0.
Crystallographic Information File Import
Import of Crystallographic Information File (CIF) files now has preliminary support for generating individual species descriptions for components detected in the packed cell. This should be considered as a fragile feature at present, and may well not work correctly in all cases.
Configuration-related Procedure Nodes
As mentioned above, version 1.4 deprecates (but does not yet remove) several configuration-related keywords in favour of leveraging specialised procedure nodes in the configuration's generator. As such, three new nodes - "Temperature", "SizeFactor", and "InputCoordinates" - have been introduced.
Region Potentials
A new type of global potential type - RegionPotential - has been added, and allows application of a pseudo-potential (based on the magnitude of a user-provided function at that voxel) to be applied and utilised in evolution algorithms and configuration construction.
Modules
Energy
Output on the Energy graph has been fixed to properly show torsion and improper contributions, and to clearly show and define intramolecular (within molecules), cohesive (intermolecular, between molecules), and the total contribution from pair potential terms.
EPSR
The EPSR module has had several improvements including the ability to apply weightings to individual datasets, calculation of R-factors over specific Q-ranges (in addition to the "normal" full Q-range metric), and detection of atom types that should not be considered in the fitting process (e.g. because they are not present in the configuration targeted by the structural modules which EPSR itself is referencing).
Q-Species (New)
A new module to calculate Q-species information for glassy network systems is now available.
Minor Changes in v1.4
- Optimisation: Region generation is now multithreaded.
- Code: Dependent versions of ANTLR and TBB have been updated.
1.4.2
Version 1.4.2 is a patch release addressing some crashes when working the modules and layers.
Major Changes in v1.4.2
Fixes crashes when adding a new module to any layer, and when adding an EPSR module when there are no configurations present.

1.3.3
Version 1.3.3 is a patch release making some small fixes and improvements.
Minor Changes in v1.3.3
- UI: Time remaining as well as time elapsed is now shown on the main status bar.
- Fix: Region generation gave incorrect results.
Major Changes in v1.3.2
Handling of errors encountered when reading input files has been greatly "softened" - Dissolve will now try to read as much as possible of the file, and continue over "bad" keywords/data wherever possible.
Minor Changes in v1.3.2
- UI: GUI is now much more flexible when it comes to minimum size.
- UI: Styling of keyword widgets has been improved.
- UI: SpeciesSite keyword controls are now clearly labelled.
- UI: Layer context menu targeted the wrong tabs on occasion.
- Fix: Limits on HistogramCN binning caused issues in certain cases.
- Fix: Added option to export data from HistogramCN.
- Fix: Unused atom types are now pruned strategically in the code.
- Fix: CIFs containing space-separated quoted strings are now handled correctly.
- Fix: Module timing estimates were polluted by modules that did not run for a legitimate reason.
- Fix: AtomShake module would crash if the "NShakes" keyword was set to anything other than 1.
- Fix: Keywords targeting vectors of Modules allowed the same module to be specified multiple times.
- Docs: Updated silica example, correcting a few errors.
Major Changes in v1.3.1
- Fix: Accumulate module did not correctly work with multiple specified
Target
s. - Fix: Angle, AxisAngle, IntraAngle, and DAngle modules did not normalise output data correctly.
- I/O: Errors in input files are handled less aggressively, trying to continue loading the file wherever possible.
Minor Changes in v1.3.1
- Fix: Crashes when modifying some aspects of sites.
- Fix: Occasional crashes when empty expressions were present in keywords in the GUI.
- Fix: Specifying a non-existent restart file on the command-line now raises an error.
- Fix: Interaction potentials keywords now have default parameters populated everywhere.
- Fix: General UI improvements for menu item actions.
- UI: Hyperlink messages status label to messages tab.
- Docs: Updated to reflect new nodes, fixed some other issues.
Major Changes in v1.3
Input File Compatibility with v1.2
Some users may experience errors when reading input files containing an AxisAngle
module due to a small change made in keywords which accepted axis arguments. These keywords now take simplified string arguments of "X", "Y", or "Z" rather than "XAxis", "YAxis", or "ZAxis".
Coordination Number Histograms
A new module HistogramCN
has been introduced to calculate histograms of coordination numbers between sites, complementing the integral "full average sum" available in the SiteRDF
module.
Fragment Sites
A third site type - "Fragment" - has been added to extend the utility of dynamically-generated sites for analysis / procedural purposes. These sites are constructed from chemical environment / connectivity by means of NETA descriptions, and provide rich new options for determining specific site locations within complex systems.
Manipulation of Sites in Procedures
With the introduction of the "Fragment" site type a new procedure node RotateFragment
is now available, and can operate on a selection of fragment sites and apply rotations about a selected axis.
Minor Changes in v1.3
- New: Added
random()
andrandomi(int)
functions to the expression parser. - Code: Early-stage TOML input file I/O introduced (not yet available to the end user).
- Code: Significant renaming of files in the codebase to conform more uniformly to a single naming convention (lowerCamelCase).
1.3.2
Version 1.3.2 is a patch release fixing a host of smaller issues in the code.
