xrayutilities 1.3.1 was released (2016-05-19) In this release xrayutilities gained the ability to simulate reflectivity and diffraction curves for thin film samples based on kinematical and dynamical diffraction models. This feature was already introduced in a previous message to this list [1]. Further noteworthy changes are: *) the new Crystal and Amorphous material classes replace the former Material class, which should not be used anymore, and serves only as a super class of the two mentioned types of materials. The Amorphous materials are especially useful for the definition of materials for reflectivity calculations, which do not need the information about the crystal structure. *) A lot of code cleanup was performed using clonedigger to identify duplicated code *) the peak_fit functions ability to guess the initial parameters was heavily improved. *) lots of small bug fixes Please have a look to the new optional dependencies in the README if you plan to use all the new features. The unittest code coverage was increased to 61%. See the CHANGES.txt file or the GIT log for a more complete list of changes. As usual every user is advised to upgrade. In order to obtain the new version go to sourceforge [2] or use PyPI [3]. Windows binaries are found on PyPI for 64-bit Python in versions 2.7 and 3.5. In case a binary version yo would need is missing or you find problems with this new version please report them!
