ChangeLog

Version 0.24 (released 2011-02-18)

New tool: Easily manage your substrates and materials by using the new database manager
The rotation of a component is visualized correctly now
New component: text labels can now be placed to mark important positions in your setup
All dialogs are checked for wrong input now
New tool: the component overview lets you see the distance between any two components in units of the table grid width
new menu item 'clear plot' will remove all components from the plot
New logging method
Full support for cylindrical lenses
JamMt is now themeable and uses PNG images for drawing components

Save will use the filename given in the title bar of the window, whereas the new Save as ... entry provides the filechooser dialog
Updated the documentation
the startup and logfile is now located under $HOME/.JamMt/
BugFix in loading old ini files (JamMt hung up completely)
Beam analyzer now have infoboxes, too (verbose view)
To avoid flickering, the plot range gets only updated when the mouse button is released
Polished the look and feel
The 'Modematching assistant' (the former LensFitter) is now able to change the grid size
Moved 'Import waist data' from LensFitter to 'File' menu
Added raw data export for Octave, Matlab and comma/TAB separated data
JFreeChart 1.0.13 is now used
LensFitter target waist is now defined within a specific range
Substrates can be flipped by pressing the 'f'-key
New beam analyzer objects (marker) have been implemented.
Dialogs can be closed using the Escape key
Finesse file export: the created file contains now the right substrate names
Filenames are now part of the main window's titlebar
JamMt now creates a log file for debugging
Added export to image files (JPG, PNG, GIF)
The beam analyzer now shows the elements of the ABCD matrix
Added export to simple ASCII .txt files
Added export to Finesse .kat files

BugFix: After a database import there was a mismatch between the shown predefined substrates and the internally used ones
Added a quick start guide to JamMt help
BugFix: The beam wasn't shown on startup
Skipped the authentification via the AEI network
Minor BugFixes

The mouse wheel can now be used to navigate the view.
BugFix in changing a cavity end mirror. The coating was not carried over.
BugFix in Open File dialog. The last folder is now remembered correctly.
BugFix in choosing predefined substrates. The material was not correctly added
Added new tool 'Thermal lens estimator'
BugFix in updating the display
The settings from the lens fitter are stored
BugFix in saving/loading the cavities
Performance has been improved
It is now possible to import waist data for a third column too.
An online help browser (helpgui.sourceforge.net) has been added
BugFix in calculating the cavity eigenmodes
Substrate are plotted more realistic
Introduction of JUnit tests
JamMt now consequently uses the ABCD matrix formalism
Linear cavities can now be defined and their eigenmode is calculated
Added filter rules for the lens fitter
BugFix in loading settings on Windows machines
The list of materials and the list of equations can now be edited
BugFix in Calculator module: integer numbers are handled correctly
BugFix in 1.5 version of the lens fitter
An ini file can be stored that is read in at every start
Substrates can now be rotated and the tangential plane of the beam can be visualized

A substrate database can now be imported
A new menu item 'Tools' was created to separate the 'add-ons' from the rest
Implementation of a simple calculator finished
New MaterialEditor lets you define materials
A new class 'Material' defines Sellmeier equations for different materials, i.e. you can define 'thick' lenses from now on
BugFix in beam propagation through a substrate
Return/Del can be used to change/delete the current lens
Data is now stored in an xml format (human readable!)
BugFix in autoscaling the y axis
Lenses/ Substrates can now be grouped
BugFix in saving files with jre1.5: Rectangle2D has to be transient

The export function now generates pretty pictures ;)
The lens info also will show the beam parameters of the initial beam in the status bar
The display of the focal length of substrates is automatically formatted
The list of used lenses shows the name of used substrates
Special keyword 'Infinity' can be used for radius of curvatures
The text inside a TextField is now selected when entering the field
The resolution of the x axis can now be changed (Display settings)
Generated the API documentation with javadoc
Behind the scenes: compilation is done via 'ant'
Shortcuts and menu names have been modified
The new CavityCalculator allows you to simulate a linear cavity (Options/Cavity calculator)
It is now possible to reset the settings (File/Reset)
The AutoFit routine can find solutions for which the waist is smaller/bigger than a given z0. It also informs you, if no solution was found at all.
General information about JamMt was added (Help/About)

Added the documentation (Help/Documentation)
A 'light version' is now available (some features are excluded in this version)
A fitting routine is know implemented (Options/Autofit).
You can define named substrates which can easily be added to the plot from the vailable substrates list
Lenses can be selected by pressing the (-) key
Lenses can be dragged through each other
Added shortcuts of the form -key (see the menu entries)
Export to eps
The paths for the save, load, export dialogs are know saved
Resizing the main window is no problem any more
Double clicking a lens will open the change lens dialog
Pressing enter in any textfield will invoke a button click (mostly 'ok')
Options/Info will permanently show a lens info box
You can give a file as an argument to JamMt at start
Lenses will turn red if the beam size at its position is greater than .33*aperture
