This is the MS Windows compatibility release. To allow relax to function properly on MS Windows a number of changes were necessary. This includes a number of bug fixes, the creation of the 'relax.bat' batch file, and modifications to allow the C modules to be compiled. Pre-compiled Windows zip files will now be available for download from the relax download page (http://www.nmr-relax.com/download.html).
The full list of changes is:
Features:
* The C modules now compile without problem on MS Windows.
* The MS Windows binary distribution packages are now successfully built using the SCons build system.
* The batch file 'relax.bat' has been created for running relax from the MS Windows command prompt.
* The program introduction width is now 80 characters in MS Windows for proper display from the command prompt.
Changes:
* The program state is saved when a RelaxError occurs in debugging mode.
* KeyboardInterupt during script execution in debugging mode will print the Python traceback.
Bugfixes:
* The sconstruct script no longer fails in MS Windows. (bug #6980)
* Model selection is now functional on all operating systems. (bug #6873)
* The use of the Unix only class 'Popen3' has been removed to allow relax to function on all non-Unix operating systems. (bug #6841)
* If the XH bond vector length is 0, the vector is set to None rather than raising a RelaxError. (partial fix to bug #6503)
