New in mfit release 1.5.3
=========================
* Plotted uv points are saved to text files (this feature was
previously added for other plot types)
New in mfit release 1.5.2
=========================
* No longer depends on Starlink SLALIB and PDA libraries; the required
source code from these libraries is distributed with mfit.
New in mfit release 1.5.1
=========================
* Minimiser now works with scaled model parameters, hence performs
better. Parameter scaling factors are varied iteratively to find the
best minimum
* Now built using scons (more portable) rather than make
* Use of NAG library optional (detected by scons)
* Support for brute-force marginalisation - integrates posterior
probability in multiple dimensions (slow, requires NAG library)
* Support for wavelength-dependent models (specified model parameters
can take different values for different wavebands)
* Support for rotating model components (i.e. polar angle theta varies
linearly with time)
* '#relto' option for model component positions - specifies position
of model component w.r.t. position of another component
* Comments now allowed anywhere in model file
* Added plots versus Modified Julian Day, GMST and baseline position angle
* Plotted points are also saved to text files, for re-plotting in
other applications
* Added 'mplot' application to plot intensity distribution of model
New in mfit release 1.4.1
=========================
* Replaced Numerical Recipes routines with free equivalents; mfit can
now be distributed to the community
* Added support for *wavelength-dependent* numerical centre-to-limb
intensity profiles
* User can specify a range of wavelengths to use from the data
* Added plots of squared visibility and triple amplitude and phase
versus wavelength
* User can specify a TARGET_ID to use from OIFITS data
* User can specify calibration error (extra fractional error in mod V)
to add to OIFITS data. This feature was previously restricted to
other formats
New in mfit release 1.3.1 (released to COAST team on 2003/09/11)
=========================
* Added support for numerical centre-to-limb intensity profiles e.g.
Kurucz models
* Takes into account bandwidth smearing (assuming a tophat bandpass)
* Option to plot 1-d cut through posterior
This version *may not* be released to the public, as
non-freely-distributable code from Numerical Recipes is used (other
routines could be substituted if this were deemed to be worth the effort).
The public website for mfit - http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/~jsy1001/mfit/ -
describes the previous 1.2.1 release.
mfit release 1.2.1 (public release on 2003/07/18)
