This major release introduces the second version of the relax graphical user interface (GUI). This is a major rewrite of the entire GUI code base. The GUI should now be much more flexible, being able to handle all the different ways NMR data is collected and errors are measured. It now has the much of the flexibility of the prompt / scripting interface by the implementation of GUI versions of many of the user functions, and the GUI now has support for small organic molecules, RNA, DNA, sugars, etc. This flexibility will allow all other analysis types (reduced spectral density mapping, N-state model, the frame order theory, consistency testing, etc.) to be added to the GUI in the future. The GUI is now fully tested and functional on the three major platforms of GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and MS Windows.
In addition, there have been significant bugs fixed throughout the program in both the GUI and the rest of the code base. There are a number of improvements to the frame order theory. A number of new structure user functions have been added for structure creation and structure displacement and superimposition. There have been improvements to the N-state model analysis and to the handling of RDC and PCS values. New user functions have been added for visual representation of model-free results in PyMOL. And finally, the auto-analyses have been redesigned to have all input data pre-loaded into a relax data pipe and that data pipe passed into the the analysis. This grants more flexibility, specifically for non-protein organic molecules which can now be used with the dauvergne_protocol auto-analysis [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2007][d'Auvergne and Gooley, 20082008b].
Due to the incredible number of changes and fixes which are part of this release (see below), all users are recommended to upgrade to this newest version.
