Numerical
Overflows (25th
June 2004)
HaloSim
sometimes crashes due to numerical overflows when singular solar
altitudes (e.g. zero) are used.
Resolved - v3.6 has increased
error trapping.
Windows
XP does not unzip files correctly
(14th January 2003)
The
unzip facility in Windows XP has bugs and does not recognise certain
files with legal file names. It might not unzip all the files
of v3.5.0+ causing installation to fail.
Resolved - File packs issued 14th Feb 2003 mostly avoid the
XP bug. WinZip is still recommended.
Non
English "Regional settings" (Pyramid maker v2.0 -
24th October 2002)
Some
users with their Windows settings set to other than English had
problems with the pyramidal pyramid file maker.
Resolved - Version2.1 issued 24th October 2002 and incorporated
in both download packs overcomes these.
Pyramidal
crystal simulations (v3 and earlier versions - 9 Oct 02)
Crystals
having one or more of their three sections set to zero height
can produce a signal that there have been a large number of numerical
errors.
Resolved - The new pyramidal file generator with HaloSim
overcomes this problem and the new file pack comes with updated
crystal files. Remake any other old files with the new generator.
Faint
halos from multiple internal reflections (v3.2 and earlier -
9 Oct 02)
A
side effect of an upgrade caused the relative intensities (not
the positions) of some faint and rare arcs produced from multiple
internal reflections to be distorted. Resolved in v3.5.
