Version 2.0.0
-------------
- Cleanup of Matlab interface. Some missing functions have been added to
the new version of the Matlab interface, including support for the
surface projection methods required by some of the fluorescence
tomography examples.
- Support for the old Matlab interface. If you require the old interface,
e.g. for legacy scripts, please use version 1.0.4. Both versions can be
installed side-by-side if required.
- Updated the Toast-Matlab help files for the new interface.
- Binary distributions are now by default compiled with multithreading
support and with static Mesa-3D library support for hardware-accelerated
projector routines.
- Support for 32-bit versions has been dropped.
Installation of binary distribution
-----------------------------------
You need to download two files for the installation:
- The Common package (toast_v2.0.0_common.zip) This file contains all the
platform-independent files (scripts, data files, examples, help files)
- The appropriate binary package for your operating system (e.g.
toast_v2.0.0_linux64.zip). This file contains the binary files
(executables, libraries, mex files) for your platform. Currently
supported are Windows64, Linux64 and MacOS64.
Unpack both files into the same directory. You should end up with a single
"toast" subdirectory. Note that some unzip utilities, especially on
Windows, may create an additional top-level subdirectory with the package
name, e.g. toast_v2.0.0_common/toast and toast_v2.0.0_win64/toast. If this
happens, you need to merge the two toast subdirectories by hand.
On Linux, run
source toastenv.sh
found in the toast root directory, to set the Toast environment variables.
(toastenv.csh is the equivalent shell script for c-shell). On Windows,
this step can be skipped.
Launch Matlab, and run mtoast2_install (found in the toast root directory)
from the Matlab prompt. This will set the Matlab paths to the Toast
Matlab directories. Save the paths for later use.
The Toast toolbox is now ready to use.
Installation from sources
