GAMGI new
 
New developments in code, documentation and website are reported here.
GAMGI 0.13.10
7th January 2009
Fixed a few copyright issues raised by the Debian legal team. This release includes most of the code needed to implement a fast, sophisticated 3D convex hull incremental algorithm. This is array-based (to be faster), with arrays of cell lists (to speed up sampling), conflict lists (to be NlogN), can handle coplanar issues, arbitrarily large faces, periodic boundary conditions, etc. It will be useful to describe arbitrary sets of arbitrary polyhedra defined by atoms, such as in superconductors, silicates, glasses, etc.

GAMGI 0.13.9
30th October 2008
This release merges all the X3D (the new XML version of VRML) code developed by Tiago Farto, after extensive cleaning. This includes code to describe all the objects currently supported by GAMGI, as layers, cells, clusters, molecules, groups, planes, directions, atoms, bonds and texts. As X3D handles a single 3D space (while GAMGI handles multiple 3D spaces through layers), only objects in the current layer are exported, the other layers are ignored.

GAMGI 0.13.8
3rd August 2008
This is a bug fix release. Several new and old bugs, simple but puzzling and affecting productivity, were clarified and removed. Converted Cell Align option menus (Gtk 1) to combo boxes (Gtk 2).

GAMGI 0.13.7
8th July 2008
Added mass data for most important isotopes, including isotope abundance and half-life (source: wikipedia). Added radius data including natural half-distances, effective and calculated atomic radius, effective and calculated (2008) covalent radius, Van der Waals radius (webelements). Added the widely used Shannon ionic radius, depending of valence and coordination (Acta Cryst. paper). Cleaned and replaced option menus by combo boxes in Cell->Link, Cell->Create and Cell->Modify. Added new screenshots. Improved Help information for exported type formats, Atom->Create and Atom->Modify. Many thanks to Pedro Isidoro and Luis Veiros, who contributed to this release (providing the Shannon original papers and collecting atomic data).

GAMGI 0.13.6
4th June 2008
Redesigned entirely Atom->Create, Atom->Modify and Atom->Config, as notebook dialogs, including new parameters: element number, atom temperature and occupancy (to handle diffraction data). This is also ready to merge detailed mass, radius and charge information. Replaced most dynamic Option Menus (GTK 1) by ComboBoxes (GTK 2). Removed a simple bug in Light->Modify (added in the previous release), that turned this dialog almost unnusable. Used the icons made by Jakub to show a favicon at www.gamgi.org. The code by Tiago Farto to export to X3D format is almost finished.

GAMGI 0.13.5
12th May 2008
Replaced Combos (GTK 1) by ComboBoxEntries (GTK 2). Replaced most static Option Menus (GTK 1) by ComboBoxes (GTK 2). Fullscreen mode is working again, in Enlightenment, Gnome, KDE, XFCE, BlackBox, IceWM, etc. Topics in Help->Topic and Help->Tutorial can now be selected with double click. Fixed the window size in Select and File dialogs. GAMGI comes now with its own Tango! icons, beatifully created by Jakub Szypulka!. Renewed gamgi.org until September 2015.

GAMGI 0.13.4
1st April 2008
Replaced GtkClists in Cell dialogs Systems, Lattices, Groups, plus Help->Tutorial, for GtkTreeview with GtkListstores. Replaced GtkCTrees in Help->Topic plus all GtkCTrees in Object->Select dialogs by GtkTreeview with GtkTreestores. Simplified recursive object selection code that crashed GAMGI, at the -O3 level of optimization. Replaced more Gtk-1.0 by Gtk-2.0 functions. We are much closer to have a completely Gtk-2.0 based GAMGI now.

GAMGI 0.13.3
23th March 2008
Replaced GtkText by GtkTextview everywhere in GAMGI, so GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN is no longer needed to compile with Gtk-2.0. Fixed bugs in locale, Ctr-C, atomic radius, dialogs size and widget focus. Updated documentation to reflect the change to Gtk-2.0/GtkGLext-1.0 libraries. Improved man page and icons.

What is next:

GAMGI 0.13.2
5th March 2008
Ported GAMGI to GTK 2.0/GTKGLext 1.0. Apart from very minor details everything seems to be working fine. This was essential to guarantee the GAMGI future. Some widgets still need to be replaced but the main issues are solved. Added a man page, images for icons, instructions for distributions. Fixed light, plane, direction bugs.

GAMGI 0.13.1
14th February 2008
Analysed, cleaned, removed all issues generating warnings when compiling with -O3 added to default gcc -g -Wall -ansi, in both xf86 and xf86_64 architectures, with gcc 3.3.4 (Suse 10.0) and gcc 4.1.2 (Fedora 8), plus pointer_to_int and int_to_pointer conversions in non-32 bit machines. Found and removed 4 actual bugs in the process.
