Release Notes

New Features & Enhancements

  • Updated Libraries: We have upgraded the core framework from Qt 5 to Qt 6 (Version 6.2.4) and updated the plotting library QCustomPlot from version 2.0.1 to 2.1.1, which eliminates the need for the Qwt library.

  • Enhanced Plotting: The old Qwt library has been replaced with QCustomPlot for polar plots. Users can now zoom and hover over polar plots to view specific curve values. The Qwtslider has also been replaced with standard QSlider widget.

  • Exportable Plots: Users can now save individual plots as .png, .jpg, .bmp, or .pdf files using new, dedicated buttons.

  • Expanded Data Support: We have updated the "Custom" selection to include a new column for reading medium refractive indices for different scatterers. Two new sample files, CustomSample3.txt and CustomSample4.txt, have been included to demonstrate this feature.

  • Dependent Scattering Check: A new validation layer has been added to check for dependent scattering. If the input parameters deviate from the independent scattering approximation, the application will now provide a detailed warning message to ensure physical accuracy.

  • Flexible Visualization: Replaced radio buttons with checkboxes for phase functions. Users can now overlay and compare Average, Parallel, and Perpendicular plots simultaneously.

  • Increased the Upper Limit of Number of Sphere Sizes: Doubled the upper limit for the number of sphere sizes from 101 to 201.

  • Dynamic UI Scaling: The application now automatically detects your screen resolution and scales the window size proportionally.

  • Dark Mode Optimization: Colors have been adjusted to ensure legibility and contrast when using dark system themes.

  • UI Consistency: The addition of the "Fusion" style and OS-specific font logic ensures the app looks native and professional whether you are on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Stability & Bug Fixes

  • Improved Stability: The application is now more stable and reliable. We have implemented unit tests for all C++ computational functions and restructured the project with separate app/ and test/ directories for more efficient builds.

  • Automated Testing (CI/CD): Implemented a GitHub Actions workflow to automatically run unit tests on every push and pull request.

  • Corrected Scattering Calculations: A bug in the calculation of forward and backward scattering percentages has been fixed. The angle range is now correctly defined as 0 to 180 degrees, resolving a previous discrepancy.

  • Fixed Data Formatting: An issue with incorrect tab spacing in saved phase function data has been resolved.

Changes

  • Coefficient Notation: The power law coefficient was changed from 'a' to 'A' to align with common literature.

  • Refined Distributions: Optimized Log-Normal and Gaussian calculations to ensure smooth computation of radii and accurate number density allocations.

  • Volume Fraction Limit: Changed the upper limit of the volume fraction from 1 to $\frac{\pi}{3\sqrt{2}}$ (~0.74). This ensures the volume fraction does not exceed the maximum packing factor for monodisperse spheres (hexagonal close-packed cubic).

Release Notes

  • Instead of saving the phase function and S1/S2 data at a single wavelength, this version allows the users to save full phase function spectrum and S1/S2 spectrum. The users can open saved data (.txt file) using a spreadsheet program such as Excel.
  • Simplified display data and saving data options.

Release Notes

  • Added extinction cross section (Cext), backscattering cross section (Cback) plots in the µs panel. Added Cext and Cback checkboxes in the "Save Options".
  • Added a plot to display Size Parameter (x-parameter) data in the number density panel (Mono Disperse only). The size parameter data is available in the "Display Data" window.
  • Introduced a linear graph of the phase function to display parallel, perpendicular and average phase functions simultaneously.
  • In previous versions, the mean square error value was not updated during FRay and bMie slider movements. Now it is continuously updated.
  • In previous Unix distributions, different font sizes were observed in the input panel. This issue was fixed.
