WaveTrain 2007A Release Notes

New Features

1. �Drop-in� multiple library support

2. Spherical wave propagation (converging or diverging propagation grids)

3. Light-tunneling (extended scene imaging)

4. Ground altitude specification in AcsAtmSpec()

5. Thermal Blooming screens (�WaveTrain can now construct phase screens corresponding to the physical phenomena of thermal blooming as well as atmospheric turbulence�)

6. GCC 3.4 (Scientific Linux 4) and GCC 4.1 (Fedora Core 6) now supported.

7. Parallelization of propagations. (requires MPI)

8. Parallelization of loops on Windows and Linux platforms (requires MPI)

9. New installation package: installs most prerequisites and configures system

10. Post-install configurator for switching WaveTrain, Matlab or C++ Compiler versions.

11. Distribution/updates via Internet

12. Uses Intel Math Kernel Library 8.1.1 if installed.

13. VC++ 2005 & VC++ 2003 supported

14. New WaveTrain components (see attached list)

15. New version of turbtool calculates extinction, uses temperature, scattering and absorption profiles, has additional engagement layout options, can use FASCODE/ModTRAN to calculate profiles, and exchanges data with ATMTools.

16. TRF file viewer GUI

17. �Dispersion (refractive bending)

Enhancements

1. (TVE) Help links improved

2. (TVE) Improved HTML format

3. (TVE) HTML generator gets icons selected for each block when possible

4. (TVE) Icons more flexible � will always find an eligible icon

5. (TVE) Detects obsolete subsystems more reliably

6. (TVE) Relocates systems from old wtlib location to new automatically

7. (TVE) Default .view information stored in .tsd file � no need to version control .view files.

8. (TVE) Better defaults for defined symbols, recordable types and saving options.

9. (TVE) Default list of #include files provided and can be changed by the user.

10. Examples updated and enhanced
