• Code in svn

  A svn repository was created with the present (development) version. The old cvs repository has been removed.

• More compilation results...

  Several tests in Mac OS X (Darwin) and Windows XP with Cygwin. Library compiles in Darwin but Python tests fail because Darwin doesn't include ldconfig. The loading of the Python module has to be changed. In Cygwin with gfortran 4.4, the first 13 of 17 tests are successful. Those remaining are the Python tests. gfortran 4.3 is unable to compile the library, confirming that also in this platform this compiler version has errors. However in Cygwin only the static library are built (what automaticaly excludes Python support). The development of the next version has resumed.

• Plasmakin version 1.6.1 release

  PLASMAKIN is a package to handle physical and chemical data used in plasma physics modeling and to compute gas-phase and gas-surface kinetics data: particle production and loss rates, photon emission spectra and energy exchange rates. It includes a species and reactions sqlite database, a clemical kinetics library and a Python module interface. This is a bug fix release. However the handling of reaction groups has been extended to split reactions of type: 'A + B2[X,v] -> AB[X,v] + B' The automatic test system has been extended and improved. This version has been tested with several compilers (gfortran, g95 and ifort) and platforms (Linux, i686 and x86_64; Mac Darwin and Windows XP). The package can be dowloaded from sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net:443/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=204430) Please check the project web (http://plasmakin.sf.net) of sourceforge site (http://sf.net/projects/plasmakin) for updates and news.

• Release plan updated

  The release plan made in January is already behind one month. It's about time to update it. So a more realistic schedule taking into account conferences and papers is the following: V 1.6.1 (a bug correction release): March, 28 V 1.7.0 (with simulation of atomic emission spectra): April, 25 V 1.7.x (manual updated): June, 14 V 1.8.0 (with electron kinetics): October

• Compilation results for v1.6.0

  In the last days I have compiled the last version in several platforms with mixed results. The results up to now are the following: Platform: Linux, x68-64 + gfortran 4.3.2: all test successful; Platform: Linux, i386 + gfortran 4.3.2: partial compilation, libtool complains about the module pkbase.mod produced by the compiler (?); Platform: Linux, i386 + gfortran 4.2.4: all test successful; Platform: Linux, i386 + g95 0.92: the library compiles. However with sqlite3 support the tests can not be linked to libsqlite3.so. Without sqlite3 support, all tests compile but several of them fail. Most (if not all) of these errors seem to be related to the compilers or to the instalation and not to Plasmakin itself. In the next days we will try to solve these issues and release v1.6.1, a bug correction version.

• Version 1.6.0 released

  With one month of delay version 1.6.0 has finally been released. This version brings a full integration between a species and reactions database, the data processing module, the chemical kinetics module and the Python interface. A colection of regression tests was implemented and several bugs were corrected. According to the release plan, the next version will be released in a few weeks and include a new set of routines to simulate the emission spectra of atomic gases.
