xrayutilities 1.5.3 release notes
This is a bug-fix release. Several bugs in particular in file parsers and
simulation models were fixed.
Most notable is a change in PowderModel were a memory leak from
insufficient cleanup of the multiprocessing code should be fixed now.
Several improvements in the CIF and Spec file parsers were incorporated.
Thanks for reporting and corresponding pull requests!
(As a note to the future myself: The test coverage of this release is at
70%.)
A more complete set of changes can be found in the CHANGES.txt file [1].
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 and wheel
packages are found on PyPI for 32 and 64-bit Python in versions 2.7 and
3.5, 3.6, and 3.7. There is now also a conda-forge package [4] which should
make installing for Conda users more straightforward. The package should be
updated within the next days (I hope).
If you encounter problems please report them on github or on the
mailinglist.
