[Objcryst-foxx] Fox version 2016.1

[Vincent Favre-N. <fa...@es...>]

		Dear all,

	A new (pre-release) version of Fox is available from:

https://github.com/vincefn/objcryst/releases/tag/v2016.1
(see bottom of page for binaries for MacOS, Windows and Linux)

	This new version focus should be faster and more stable, but I would appreciate if you send me some feedback in case you find an issue (with steps to reproduce).

	Full Changelog:
#### 2016.1 (November 2016)
NEW FEATURES
  * direct search on the Crystallography Open Database:
    - search using keywords, formula or lattice parameters
    - double-click to display the Crystal structure
    (this requires access to the default database port, 3306. Some firewalls
    may prevent that)
  * automatically recognizing Molecules and isolated polyhedra from CIF files
  * ability to combine several powder diffraction data sets from different 
    temperatures (or any other variable condition) to solve a single crystal 
    structure (it is possible to override the lattice parameters in 
    the powder pattern diffraction)
  * the extension for .xml.gz files is now .xmlgz
  * define 'optically active atoms' than will no be flipped during global (Jan Rohlicek)
    optimization (previously this was only possible using dihedral restraints)
  * support for anisotropic pseudo-Voigt profiles
  * support for ellipsoid texture description (Alexandr Zaloga)

IMPROVEMENTS
  * faster, more robust CIF import
  * better flexibility search for Molecules
  * 3D display: 
    - nicer using transparency (can be disabled from preferences)
    - standard atom colors from jmol
  * drag & drop files on MacOSX
  * take into account excluded regions when searching for peaks.
  * faster initial optimization (and randomization) of Molecules
  * Unicode interface (should be more friendly to directories with accents, symbols..)
  * localized number display (using , rather than . for decimal separation)
  
BUG FIXES
  * Avoid crashes during profile fitting and indexing
  * internal fixes (Pavol Juhas)

		Best wishes,
			Vincent
