Latest revision as of 11:30, 29 September 2023

This is a collection of all of the descriptions for each released relax version.

Contents

Version 5 of relax

relax 5.0 series

relax 5.0.0

This is a major feature release that adds initial support for wxPython-Phoenix. It includes a large number of under the hood changes to support more modern Python versions and packages, a lot of polish of the relax text output, improved test suite control, and improved and modernised Travis CI support for automatically checking the integrity of the software.


Version 4 of relax

relax 4.1 series

relax 4.1.3

This is a minor bugfix release that re-enables the reading of Bruker Dynamics Center NOE data files.


relax 4.1.2

This is a minor feature and bugfix release. It includes tooltip improvements in the GUI for the user function windows and wizards, the addition of the newly published primary reference for the frame order analysis, and improved formatting for the bibliography and index of the relax manual.

There have also been improvements for the automated testing of relax by Travis CI. This includes the naming of the build jobs, the execution of the software verification tests, the installation of wxPython to enable GUI testing and the running of the whole test suite, the reordering of the system tests back before the unit tests to avoid hiding some nasty relaxation dispersion bugs, a fix for matplotlib on Mac OS X so that the tests will finally run on this OS, a new build job for the API documentation, and a new build job for the Free Software Foundation copyright validation script.


relax 4.1.1

This is a major bugfix release. The release fixes multiple issues with the relax GUI and with the relaxation dispersion analyses. Please see the notes below for details.


relax 4.1.0

This is a major feature and bugfix release. This is also the first release after the permanent Gna! shutdown and the complete migration of relax's free software infrastructure to SourceForge, the first release after the complicated migration from the original Subversion version control repository to git for the relax source code and the relax website, and the first release after three years of development. In the meantime, a new demo repository has been created containing all the data and instructions required to perform and demonstrate different relax analyses.

Features of this release include the addition of a bash completion script, large speed improvements in the GUI and in the execution of many relax user functions, improved sample scripts, significant relax manual updates, support for newer NMRPipe SeriesTab files, improved Docker images, automated testing of relax via Travis-CI, the new user functions frame_order.decompose, structure.add_helix, and structure.add_sheet, and significant improvements for user function argument checking and user feedback via RelaxErrors.


relax 4.0 series

relax 4.0.3

This is a minor feature and bugfix release. The structure.rmsd user function can now calculate per-atom RMSDs, structure superimposition is now orders of magnitude faster, the relax deployment scripts have been improved and expanded to cover other GNU/Linux systems, OpenMPI system testing scripts have been added, and the relax information printout has been improved. Bugfixes include that the structure.rmsd user function now correctly calculates the RMSD value, and the inversion recovery relaxation curve-fitting equations are now correct.


relax 4.0.2

This is a minor feature and bugfix release. The new user functions system.cd and system.pwd have been added to allow the working directory to be changed and displayed. The time and sys_info user functions have been renamed to system.time and system.sys_info. The structure.delete_ss user function has been created to remove the helix and sheet information from the internal structural object. For bugs, the R2eff dispersion model can now handle missing peaks in subsets of spectra, and the structure.read_pdb can now handle multiple structures and multiple models with the merge flag set.


relax 4.0.1

This is a major feature and bugfix release. Features include the new structure.pca user function for performing a principle component analysis (PCA) of a set of structures, handling of replicated R2,eff data points in the dispersion analysis, improvements in the handling of PDB structures, the protection against numpy ≥ 1.9 FutureWarnings for a number of soon to change behaviours in numpy, and addition of a deployment script for the Google Cloud Computing. Bugfixes include an error when loading relaxation data, the CSA constant equation in the manual, missing information in the relax state and results files, loading of certain state files in the GUI, running relax with no graphical display and using matplotlib, BMRB export failure when a spin container is missing data or parameters.


relax 4.0.0

This is a major feature release for a new analysis type labelled 'frame order'. The frame order theory aims to unify all rotational molecular physics data sources via a single mechanical model. It is a bridging physics theory for rigid body motions based on the statistical mechanical ordering of reference frames. The previous analysis of the same name was an early iteration of this theory that was however rudamentary and non-functional. Its current implementation is for analysing RDC and PCS data from an internal alignment to interpret domain or other rigid body motions within a molecule or molecular complex.


Version 3 of relax

relax 3.3 series

relax 3.3.9

This is a minor feature release with improvements to the automatic relaxation dispersion protocol for repeated CPMG data, support for Monte Carlo or Bootstrap simulating RDC and PCS Q factors, a huge speedup of Monte Carlo simulations in the N-state model analysis, and geometric mean and standard deviation functions added to the relax library.


relax 3.3.8

This is a minor bugfix release which allows the relax GUI to be used on screens with the low resolution of 1024x768 pixels.


relax 3.3.7

This is a major feature and bugfix release. New features include the statistics.aic and statistics.model user functions, plotting API advancements, huge speed ups for the assembly of atomic coordinates from a large number of structures, the sorting of sequence data in the internal structural object for better structural consistency, conversion of the structure.mean user function to the new pipe/model/molecule/atom_id design, and improvements to the rdc.copy and pcs.copy user functions. Bugs fixed include the incorrect pre-scanning of old scripts identifying the minimise.calculate user function as the old minimise user function, Python 3 fixes, and the failure in reading CSV files in the sequence.read user function. Many more features and bugfixes are listed below.


relax 3.3.6

This is a minor feature and bugfix release. It includes the addition of the new structure.sequence_alignment user function which can use the 'Central Star' multiple sequence alignment algorithm or align based on residue numbers, saving the results in the relax data store. The assembly of structural coordinates used by the structure.align, structure.atomic_fluctuations, structure.com, structure.displacement, structure.find_pivot, structure.mean, structure.rmsd, structure.superimpose and structure.web_of_motion user functions has been redesigned around this new user function. It will use any pre-existing sequence alignments for the molecules of interest, use no sequence alignment if only structural models are selected, and default to a residue number based alignment if the structure.sequence_alignment user function has not been used. Bug fixes include a system test failure on Mac OS X, and I parameter text files and Grace graphs are now produced by the relaxation curve-fitting auto-analysis for the inversion recovery and saturation recovery experiment types. Many more details are given below.


relax 3.3.5

This is a major feature and bugfix release. It fixes an important bug in the Monte Carlo simulation error analysis in the relaxation dispersion analysis. Features include improvements to the NMR spectral noise error analysis, expansion of the grace.write user function to handle both first and last point normalisation for reasonable R1 curves in saturation recovery experiments, the implementation of Needleman-Wunsch pairwise sequence alignment algorithm using the BLOSUM62, PAM250 and NUC 4.4 substitution matrices for more advanced 3D structural alignments via the structure.align and structure.superimpose user functions as well as any of the other structure user functions dealing with multiple molecules, conversion of the structure.displacement, structure.find_pivot, structure.rmsd, structure.superimpose and structure.web_of_motion user functions to a new pipes/models/molecules/atom_id design to allow the user functions to operate on different data pipes, different structural models and different molecules, addition of the displace_id argument to the structure.align and structure.superimpose user functions to allow finer control over which atoms are translated and rotated by the algorithm, large improvement for the PDB molecule identification code affecting the structure.read_pdb user function, creation of the lib.plotting package for assembling all of the data plotting capabilities of relax, implementation of the new structure.atomic_fluctuations user function for creating text output or Gnuplot graphs of the correlation matrix of interatomic distance, angle or parallax shift fluctuations, the implementation of ordinary least squares fitting, and improvements for the pcs.corr_plot and rdc.corr_plot user functions. Many more features and bugfixes are listed below.


relax 3.3.4

This is a major feature and bugfix release, finally adding support for the saturation recovery and inversion recovery R1 experiments and including a major bug fix for storing multi-dimensional numpy data structures as IEEE 754 byte arrays in the XML output of the relax state and results files.


relax 3.3.3

This is a major feature and bugfix release. It fixes a failure when loading relaxation data and adds Python 3 support for using the NMRPipe showApod software. Features include a large expansion for the align_tensor.matrix_angles and align_tensor.svd user functions to support the standard inter-matrix angles, the unitary 9D vector notation {Sxx, Sxy, Sxz, Syx, Syy, Syz, Szx, Szy, Szz}, and the irreducible spherical tensor 5D basis set of {A-2, A-1, A0, A1, A2} for correctly calculating the inter-tensor angles, singular values and condition numbers.


relax 3.3.2

This is a minor feature and bugfix release. It includes improvements to the readability of the HTML version of the manual, improved printouts throughout the program, numerous GUI enhancements, and far greater Python 3 support. Please see below for a full listing of all the new features and bugfixes.


relax 3.3.1

This is a minor feature and bugfix release. It includes the addition of the error_analysis.covariance_matrix, structure.align, and structure.mean user functions and expanded functionality for the structure.com and structure.delete user functions. Many operations involving the internal structural object are now orders of magnitude faster, with the interatom.define user function showing the greatest speed ups. There are also improvements for helping to upgrade relax scripts to newer relax versions. The numdifftools package is now bundled with relax for allowing numerical gradient, Hessian and Jacobian matrices to be calculated. And the release includes the start of a new protocol for iteratively analysing repetitive relaxation dispersion experiments.


relax 3.3.0

This is a major feature release which includes a huge number of changes, as can be seen below. The most important change is an incredible speed up of all relaxation dispersion models. See the table below for a comparison to the previous relax 3.2.3 release. The maximum possible advantage of linear algebra operations are used to eliminate all of the slow Python looping and to obtain the ultimate algorithms for speed. As this is using NumPy, conversion to C or FORTRAN will not result in any significant speed advantage. With these huge speed ups, relax should now be one of the fastest software packages for analysing relaxation dispersion phenomena.

Other important features include the implementation of a zooming grid search algorithm for use in all analysis types, expanded plotting capabilities for R values in the relaxation dispersion analysis, the ability to optimise the R1 parameter in all off-resonance dispersion models, proper minimisation statistics resetting by the minimisation user functions, and a large expansion of the periodic table information for all elements in the relax library for correctly estimating molecular masses. Additional features are that there is better tab completion support in the prompt UI for Mac OS X, the addition of the time user function for printing the current date and time, the value.copy user function accepting a force argument for overwriting values, model nesting in the dispersion auto-analysis has been extended, the spin-lock offset is now shown in the dispersion analysis in the GUI, the relax_disp.r2eff_estimate user function has been added for fast R2eff and I0 parameter value and error estimation, and gradient and Hessian functions have been added to the exponential curve-fitting C module allowing for more advanced optimisation in the relaxation curve-fitting and dispersion analyses.

Note that this new 3.3 relax series breaks compatibility with old relax scripts. The important change, which is the main reason for starting the relax 3.3.x line, is the renaming of the calc, grid_search and minimise user functions to minimise.calculate, minimise.grid_search and minimise.execute respectively. Please update your scripts appropriately. A new relax feature is that old user function calls are detected in the prompt and script UIs and a RelaxError raised explaining what to rename the user function to.

Important bugfixes in this release include that relax can run on MS Windows systems again, numerous Python 3 fixes, the ability to load Bruker DC files when the file format has corrupted whitespace, the GUI "close all analyses" feature works and no longer raises an error, structure.create_diff_tensor_pdb user function now works when no structural data is present, the geometric prolate diffusion 3D PDB representation in a model-free analysis now aligns with the axis in the PDB as it was previously rotated by 90 degrees, and the Monte Carlo simulations in the relaxation dispersion analysis for exponential curve-fitting for R2eff/R parameter errors is now correct and no longer underestimating the errors by half. For more details about the new features and the bug fixes, please see below. For fully formatted and easy to navigate release notes, please see http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/Relax_3.3.0.

This version is a minor feature and bugfix release which includes better pseudo-atom support, support of the value.write user function to allow model information to be written to file, improvements to the 2D Grace plots, and fixes for missing log messages when running on a cluster using OpenMPI.


relax 3.0.1

This version is a minor feature and bugfix release. The handling of peak lists has been enhanced and chemical shifts can now be read into relax, there are a number of improvements throughout the GUI, and a number of minor bugs have been solved. If these changes affect you, please upgrade to this latest version.


relax 3.0.0

This is the first release of the new relax 3 series. This release marks a major shift of relax towards becoming a scientific computing environment specialised for the study of molecular dynamics using experimental biophysical data. It is designed to be a replacement for numerical computational environments such as GNU Octave, MATLAB, Mathematica, Maple, etc. From the perspective of a user, however, not much has changed. There are only a few modifications to the prompt, script, or graphical user interfaces. Most changes are for the power user as they are rather in the backend. The infrastructure changes are comprehensive and include the reorganisation of most of the relax code base, a large expansion of the relax library, and general improvements and fixes to the user manual, the GUI, and the whole code base. The huge number of changes can be seen below.


Version 2 of relax

This is the Python super-compatibility release - relax will now run on Python 2.3 all the way to Python 3.3, a span of over 9 years of Python development. Some exceptions are Python 3.0 as numpy and scipy are not compatible with that release, the execution of external programs in Python 2.3 not being supported, and the GUI currently not available on Python 3 due to the wxPython project not being compatible with this new Python design yet. A number of important bug fixes are also included. For more details please see below.


relax 2.1.1

This release includes a major overhaul of the relax user manual with the addition of new chapters and tutorials for all analyses and major expansions and improvements overall. It also includes a major set of bug fixes to re-enable the NOE, R1 and R2 analyses of multiple spin types (e.g. the Trp sidechain indole NH), window ordering fixes for the GUI, and numerous other small bug fixes. More details are given below. All users are recommended to upgrade to this newest version.


relax 2.1.0

This major feature release introduces the new concept of a container for data linking two atoms or spins - the interatomic data design. This is for NMR data such as the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between two spins (including relaxation and RDC data) and NOESY data. This design significantly extends relax's flexibility and opens up new analysis type possibilities. As this is a highly invasive change, touching almost all of the relax analysis types and modifying the GUI, the minor version number has been incremented and all of the 2.0.x version numbering has been skipped. Additional features and changes include the update of the relax copyright license to GPLv3, support for absolute or signless RDCs has been added, and elimination of many GUI bugs in MS Windows. Due to the large number of improvements, changes, and bug fixes, all users are recommended to upgrade.


relax 2.0 series

relax 2.0.0

This is the first relax version of the new 2.0 line. Due to incredible number of changes to the core and large improvements visible throughout prompt and graphical user interfaces (UIs), it was decided that a brand new development line would be created. The 1.3 line will now be discontinued as it quite old - it came into existence 6 years ago (see https://www.nmr-relax.com/mail.gna.org/public/relax-devel/2006-10/msg00053.html.

The features of these release include a complete restructuring of the user functions so that special 'definitions' are used to automatically create the user function front ends in all UIs. This now means that all user functions are now accessible from the GUI. The help system in the prompt UI mode has been revamped and is now better formatted (with better line wrapping for MS Windows). The core of the specific analysis API has been redesigned to make it much easier for NMR spectroscopists to add their own analysis types to relax. The GUI test suite has been significantly expanded so that the GUI should now be, and remain, robust. The XML formatted relax results and save files have been redesigned and improved for both numerical accuracy and readability. Data pipes can now be grouped together in special data bundles, and analysis tabs in the GUI are now associated with a specific bundle. BMRB export (as well as import) and support for Bruker Dynamics Centre relaxation data files are now tightly integrated into the GUI. Many other improvements can be found throughout the GUI. The incredible number of changes that have gone into this release can be seen below!

As this is the first release of a new line, a few minor bugs should be expected. All feedback is appreciated. Bugs can be reported at the official relax bug tracker through the link https://web.archive.org/web/gna.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=relax. Any error messages that are not 'RelaxErrors', any strange behaviour in the GUI such as windows disappearing out the back, elements not updating, etc., or anything that does not behave exactly as you would expect should be treated as a bug!


Version 1 of relax

relax 1.3 series

relax 1.3.16

This is mainly a documentation release. The relax user manual has been significantly updated - changes include the expansion and completion of the model-free analysis chapter, addition of graphical user interface (GUI) screenshots and descriptions, a description of Gary Thompson's multi-processor framework, and general updates and improvements throughout. For those who install relax using the scons 'install' target, the pyc and pyo files are now properly created for faster startup. The Bruker Protein Dynamics Centre user function class 'pdc' has been renamed to 'bruker' because of Bruker's absorption of the PDC into the Bruker Dynamics Centre. These user functions, as well as the BMRB user functions, have been added to the menu system in the GUI. Finally a test suite bug triggered in the Fink relax installation has been eliminated. If you would like improved documentation or would like to use any of the other changes, please update to this version.


relax 1.3.15

This is a major feature release focusing on more complete Mac OS X support and prettifying all of the user interfaces (UIs). The new features include full Mac OS X support via fink and the Mac application DMG file (for Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion with PPC, i386 and x86_64 CPUs), coloured terminal output in the prompt/script UI modes, the ability to run the full relax test suite within the GUI mode, general improvements throughout the GUI, support for wxPython 2.9, faster program start up, improved formatting of the HTML version of the user manual, and expansion of the multi-processor framework. Many additional changes are listed below. If you are a Mac OS X user, you are affected by one of the bugs listed below, or you would like to use the new features, then I would recommend upgrading to this new version.


relax 1.3.14

This is a major bug fix release focusing on memory usage, performance, and IO. The parallised model-free optimisation code (for running on clusters/grids using the multi-processor package) was causing relax to crash on 32-bit systems due to the system running out of virtual memory. The new version should only require about a third of the memory of relax 1.3.13. The parts of relax dealing with atomic or spin specific data (reading of spin systems from PDB files, reading and writing of spin specific data, etc.) have been rewritten for efficiency and should now be many orders of magnitude faster for certain work loads. There have also been large improvements to the multi-processor framework, specifically the creation of a public API and a reference implementation. In addition there are improvements for IO capture on both the uni-processor and mpi4py-processor fabrics for relaying slave messages back to the master, better integration with the GUI and compatibility with the logging and teeing command line flags. Other changes include expansion of the relax information print out, support for numpy data structures in save files, and the addition of the rdc.delete and pcs.delete user functions. Feel free to upgrade if you would like the benefits of this new version.


relax 1.3.13

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, 2008b].

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.


relax 1.3.12

This is a major feature release which adds the ability to run relax on clusters or grids of computers via the MPI protocol. This merges in Gary Thompson's multi-processor branch which was started all the way back in 2007. The 'multi' package introduces two processor fabrics, the standard uni-processor mode and the mpi4py mode for using the MPI protocol with Python. The model-free analysis code has been parallelised to take advantage of the multi-processor modes, significantly speeding up calculations on clusters with near perfect scaling efficiency. The flexible 'multi' package can easily be extended for other multi-processor modes such as additional MPI implementations using different Python libraries (pypar, etc.), the use of SSH tunnels for parallel programming, use of the twisted framework for communication, or the parallel virtual machine (PVM) via pypvm. For more information on how to use this, see https://www.nmr-relax.com/mail.gna.org/public/relax-devel/2007-05/msg00000.html.


relax 1.3.11

This is a major feature release - all users are recommend to upgrade to this version. The major features include the integration of relax and the BMRB via the reading and writing of the BMRB NMR-STAR format files for model-free analyses, support for reading the XYZ 3D structure files used in organic chemistry, significant GUI improvements, and better support for the Bruker Protein Dynamics Centre (PDC) files. In addition a large number of bugs have been resolved. All together, this is a large release consisting of just under 2000 individual changes.


relax 1.3.10

This is a major feature release which introduces support for reading Bruker Protein Dynamics Centre (PDC) files. It also fixes a bug in the N-state model Q factor values when run in combination with Monte Carlo simulations for error analysis.


relax 1.3.9

This is a major feature release which introduces the new graphical user interface written by Michael Bieri [Bieri et al, 2011]. This GUI provides easy access to a sub-set of relax's features - the R1 and R2 relaxation rate curve-fitting, NOE calculations, and the fully automatic model-free analysis of the dauvergne_protocol module [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2007][d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2008b].


relax 1.3.8

This is a minor bugfix release in preparation for the impending merger of relaxGUI [Bieri et al, 2011]. New features include a sample script for creating CSV files from model-free results for import into spreadsheet programs, extensive system testing of all model-free models, fixes for a system test on 32-bit GNU/Linux, and a fix for running scripts with certain versions of Python.


relax 1.3.7

This is a major bug fix release - all model-free users of relax version 1.3.6 must upgrade to this version. The fatal bug is that the prolate diffusion tensor when initialised with Da set to zero will be converted to an oblate tensor. Other bugs fixed include support for volume integration together with replicated spectra, the scipy dependency now bing optional, 32-bit GNU/Linux test suite fixes, and better support for the reading of old version 1.2.x results files. An additional feature is that the relax packages/modules can now be imported and used outside of relax.


relax 1.3.6

This is a major feature release which includes many bug fixes and a security fix. Major additions include the addition of 9 new frame order models, execution locking, support for CCPN Analysis 2.1 peak lists, Monte Carlo simulations for the N-state model, optimisation of the Ln3+ position in the N-state model, weighting of RDCs and PCSs during optimisation, and no longer using execfile() closing a security hole.


relax 1.3.5

This is a major feature release consisting of over a year's worth of improvements and bug fixes, with close to 2000 code changes. All users are recommended to upgrade to this newest version. New features include the ability to determine the stereochemistry of flexible organic molecules, expansion of the frame order theory, better support for RDCs and PCSs, 2D Grace plot improvements, and many new rotation_matrix module conversion functions.


relax 1.3.4

This is a major feature release featuring innumerous changes and bugfixes. New features include support for spin containers for psuedo atoms, NOE distance restraints, improved structure handling with multiple molecules and multiple models, the N-state model with equal and fixed probabilities, handling of the Bruker ncproc parameter, return of hybridisation, return of MOLMOL macros for illustrating model-free parameters, and initial support for the new Frame Order theories.


relax 1.3.3

This is a major bugfix and feature release. Support for the programs Dasha, Modelfree4 and OpenDX has returned and XEasy and NMRView peak lists can now be read. Upgrading to this version is highly recommended as it fixes a number of very important bugs. Some of these are include faulty error analysis when performing relaxation curve-fitting, results.write failure, model selection failure if spins were deselected, diffusion tensor optimisation failure, and internal PDB reader problems.


relax 1.3.2

This release solves many major bugs in the final stages of model-free analysis, especially when using the 'full_analysis.py' script [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2007][d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2008b]. This version also marks the return of the NOE analysis. If you are using relax version 1.3.1, it is recommended that you upgrade to 1.3.2. Bugs which have been resolved include: problems reading PDB files; failure of the value.set, fix and value.write user functions; non-functional model elimination; model selection issues in certain situations; and various Monte Carlo simulation issues.


relax 1.3.1

Finally, it's arrived! The new and improved relax is finally ready for release. It's taken 2 years to get here, 4400 individual changes, and a complete rewrite of almost every last line of code - all in all an impressive team effort. Although the jump from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1 appears small, the changes are so expansive that hardly any code is preserved between these versions. In addition, the release includes all changes which occurred between relax versions 1.2.10 and 1.2.14. For this shiny new version, we have had complete redesign of relax. This started all the way back in October of 2006 with the post https://www.nmr-relax.com/mail.gna.org/public/relax-devel/2006-10/msg00053.html. This overhaul involves the new molecule-residue-spin data structure and the elimination of the 'run' concept replacing it with the data pipe paradigm.

No longer is relax constrained to handling a single spin type for the entire system, or a single spin per residue. Multiple structures, multiple residues per structure, and multiple spins per residue can be handled, paving the way for using relax with small organic molecules, with RNA and DNA, and for protein systems using not only 15N data but also any data from carbons or other spin types. As for the data pipe concept, this is the next logical step in the evolution of relax. The 'run' had significantly diverged from its original meaning, so now it has been renamed to the pipe. Everything in relax is now associated with a data pipe. These pipes can be created, merged with user functions such as model_selection, branched by copying, and the entire contents preserved at any time into an XML formatted results file - imagination is the only limitation as to what can be done with these pipes. The progress of relax can be considered as the flow of data through these pipes, with each user function modifying or using the contents.

For for identifying and selecting spins, the spin identification string concept has been introduced. The string is composed of three components: the molecule id token beginning with the '#' character, the residue id token beginning with the ':' character, and the atom or spin system id token beginning with the '@' character. Each token can be composed of multiple elements separated by the ',' character and each individual element can either be a number, name, or range of numbers separated by the '-' character. Hence the full id string specification is "#<mol_name> :<res_id>[, <res_id>[, <res_id>, ...]] @<atom_id>[, <atom_id>[, <atom_id>, ...]],". Basic usage of the Boolean operators and ('&') and or ('|') is also supported.

Note that in this version, not all parts of relax are currently functional. Many, such as relaxation curve fitting, model-free analysis, reduced spectral density mapping, consistency testing, etc. are fully functional but if you do uncover a non-operational user function, please submit a bug report or use the stable 1.2.14 version. Conversion of the last parts of relax to the new design will not be too hard, especially if all issues are reported. Note that this is a development line and that scripts written for version 1.3.1 may not work automatically in future 1.3 versions.


relax 1.3.0

This is the first release of the unstable 1.3 development line. In addition to all the capabilities of relax 1.2.10 the new features of this release include the addition of a unit test framework, preliminary support for PyMOL, the creation of PDB files, the ability to display the diffusion tensor encoded as a PDB file using PyMOL, the ability to display the distribution of XH bond vectors used in the analysis via a PDB file, the new user function class 'structure' containing the old user function pdb which has been split and redesigned, removal of apply(func, args) calls from the minimisation code, improved spin system selection using Boolean operators, and a few other small features, bugfixes, and program changes. As the user function names have been and will continue to be modified please do not expect either the backwards or forwards compatibility of relax scripts written for the 1.3 relax versions.


relax 1.2 series

relax 1.2.15

This is a very minor bugfix release solving issues with the value.write user function and with error analysis when performing relaxation curve-fitting.


relax 1.2.14

This is a minor bug fix release which fixes a minor bug in the consistency testing analysis and the compilation of the C modules in Windows when using Python 2.5. The relax manual has also had a minor facelift.


relax 1.2.13

This release introduces new features and fixes a number of important bugs. The most significant feature is the consistency testing of relaxation data from different field strengths using the J(0), Fη and FR2 values [Morin and Gagné, 2009][Fushman et al., 1998]. Important bugs which have been fixed include the failure of Monte Carlo simulations when model-free model m0 is encountered causing the parameter errors for all subsequent residues to be zero, the failure of reading of Art Palmer's Modelfree4 'mfout' file, and the handling of missing structural data. For a full description of the additions and fixes, please see below.


relax 1.2.12

This is an important bug fix release. It fixes major issues with the writing of results files and with the failure of model elimination. The 'latex_mf_table.py' sample script has also been fixed. More details are given below. If you have encountered these problems, please consider upgrading to this version to solve the issues.


relax 1.2.11

This is another major bug fix release. Please upgrade to this version if you wish to use relax for reduced spectral density mapping as significant bugs in that part of relax have been identified and fixed. Other significant changes include this being the only version of relax which will run with Python 2.5, the addition of Grace plotting abilities improving the analysis of relaxation exponential curve-fitting, large simplifications for the user and automatic looping over iterations in the 'full_analysis.py' script [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2007][d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2008b], and improvements to the reading and writing of model-free results files. See below for additional improvements.


relax 1.2.10

This is a major bug fix release which includes a number of feature enhancements. Significant changes include the addition of convergence tests to the 'full_analysis.py' script [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2007][d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2008b], the ability to compile the C modules on Mac OS X, more advanced spin system selection, the model-free and reduced spectral density mapping results files no longer being truncated, and improvements to the model-free section of the user manual by the addition of flow diagrams detailing the steps of different model-free analysis protocols. Significant bugfixes include more flexibility in the reading of XEasy text files, a number of fixes in the 'full_analysis.py' sample script, the proper setup of Monte Carlo simulation when reading results files, and a couple of MS Windows fixes. More details and additional features, changes, and bugfixes are detailed below.


relax 1.2.9

This release fixes a important bug introduced into relax version 1.2.8. If you have installed 1.2.8, please upgrade to this new version. The problem was that relax was throwing a RelaxError saying that an infinite chi-squared value had been encountered when the chi-squared value was actually zero (see bug #7641). A few other small changes are detailed below.


relax 1.2.8

This is a major bug fix release. A number of important bugs have been fixed including the failure of model selection between global diffusion models when using the local τm models (bug #7616), the failure of model elimination when the model m0 is used (bug #7226), and the failure in the reading of old model-free results files from relax versions prior to 1.2.5 (bug #7587). Additional bug fixes are detailed below. New features include preliminary support for RNA/DNA data and support for the grace.write user function for reduced spectral density mapping.


relax 1.2.7

This release adds full compatibility for MS Windows. Unless you would like to use relax on Windows or are a developer (a few debugging features have been added), this release can be safely ignored. To allow relax to properly function on MS Windows a number of changes were necessary. This includes a number of bug fixes, the creation of the 'relax.bat' batch file, and modifications to allow the C modules to be compiled. Pre-compiled Windows zip files will now be available for download from the relax download page.


relax 1.2.6

A quick release to fix the fatal 'devnull' ImportError (bug #6403). This bug effects those using Python versions < 2.4 and prevents relax from starting up. The solution was to import the object using a try statement to allow execution of the program. However if relax ever attempts to use 'devnull' a RelaxError is thrown, a message saying to upgrade to Python ≥ 2.4 is printed, and the program terminates. This is currently only a problem in the test-suite.


relax 1.2.5

This is mainly a bugfix release. A large number of bugs have been eliminated including bug #5977, bug #6288, bug #6383, bug #5806, bug #6384, bug #6388, bug #6389, and bug #5746. These are described in more detail below. To fix a few of these bugs large disruptive changes were required. This included the change of the local τm parameter name from 'tm' to 'local_tm' and the simplification of the model-free model_statistics() function and modification of the model-free calculate() function. Therefore regressions and new bugs may appear in this release, most likely when the local τm parameter is encountered or during model selection.


relax 1.2.4

This is a long overdue release which includes many new features, changes, and bugfixes. Molmol macros which plot parameter values onto the structure using arbitrary colour gradients through the X11 colours, Molmol colours, or RGB vectors can now be created by the program. A test suite has been added to aid in debugging and checking that new code does not break the functionality of the program. The relax manual has been significantly updated. Hyperlinks are now present. The chapter Open source infrastructure has been added and the development chapter has been rewritten. Hybrid runs are now supported. Half the protein can be analysed in one run, the other half in another, and then the two combined into one hybrid run.


relax 1.2.3

This is a bug fix release which corrects a segfault crash of the exponential relaxation curve-fitting modules. The bug was introduced by the shift from the makefile to Sconstruct build system. The full descriptions of all bug fixes are:

  • Sconstruct now does not use the '-fPIC' option during compilation which caused the exponential relaxation curve-fitting modules to segfault.
  • The distribution binary and source file creation Sconstruct functions now properly compress the archives.
  • The value.read function contained a bug where the residue number from the file was not being read. Instead the integer position within the file was being used as the residue number.

  • The model-free spectral density function 'calc_S2f_S2s_ts_djw_dS2s' does not exist. Therefore when using the model with the parameters {Sf2, Ss2, τs}, the program would throw an error and stop. The function is actually calc_S2f_tf_S2s_ts_djw_dS2s. The factor 'data.s2f_s2' also had to be calculated in maths_fns/jw_mf_comps.py.


relax 1.2.2

This release improves compatibility for different operating systems including Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows. To achieve this, the make system has been replaced by the Sconstruct system. Both the Dasha and Modelfree4 code has been significantly improved. A number of bugs have also been fixed including:

  • The automatically generated Dasha script has been fixed. Previously the optimise command used was min all or lmin all. This is incorrect and the proper syntax is min m n or lmin m n where m is the first residue number while n is the last.
  • The optimisation code has been fixed to handle the unstable, broken Numeric Python packages so that the Cholesky Hessian modification works again and the eigenvalue decomposition (which now freezes Python) is avoided.
  • The file generic_fns/palmer.py has been modified to gracefully handle a Modelfree4 bug whereby the mfout output file has been corrupted due to the fusion of columns.


relax 1.2.1

This release fixes a number of bugs affecting the creation of DASHA scripts for specific model-free models (two time scale motions but without the τf parameter) and the reading of DASHA results for models with motions on two time scales. The function value.write which was broken when trying to write out relaxation data (R1, R2, or the NOE) has been fixed as well as the out of date generate_ri.py sample script.


relax 1.2.0

Introducing the newest 1.2 stable feature release of relax. The major feature of this release is that relaxation curve fitting is now supported within relax. Now relax can calculate the R1, R2, and NOE, as well as their associated errors, from peak intensities.

Other features include a shift to the 'make' system. Installation is now through makefiles and the command 'make install' as root will install relax into /usr/local/. Many of the development related scripts for compiling the manual, removing temporary files, creating the distribution packages, etc have been moved into makefiles as well. C modules have been added which interface with relax through the Python/C API. These implement the functions using in the optimisation of relaxation curves. To create the C shared objects, the command 'make' is used.

The minor version number which can be downloaded is relax version 1.2.0. This is the first release of the new 1.2 branch.


relax 1.0 series

relax 1.0.10

This is a maintenance release which incorporates Chris MacRaild's bug fix of the loading of the model-free results file. Chris has also incorporated the fix into the new 1.2 feature release.


relax 1.0.9

A HTML version of the manual can now be created via latex2html.


relax 1.0.8

The Dasha release. The program Dasha can now be fully controlled from within relax. Three functions have been added to create the Dasha script, execute Dasha using this script, and finally to extract all the minimisation results.


relax 1.0.7

This release corresponds to solely cosmetic changes. An internal version number is now used within relax. This replaced the previous 1.0.7 version which was copied a bit to early.


relax 1.0.6

This release includes both added features and bug fixes. The Euler angle β of the diffusion tensor is now treated as a glide reflection when between π and 2π rather than a translation of the space between 0 and π. The glide reflection and translation symmetries of the spheroid and ellipsoid diffusion tensors are now collapsed such that all angles are between 0 and π, and the simulated values lie π/2 either side of the fitted value.


relax 1.0.5

This is a bugfix release, improving the user function diffusion_tensor.init. This fixes problems when using the ellipsoid parameters Dx, Dy, and Dz.


relax 1.0.4

This is a feature release. Significant improvements to the OpenDX mapping functions have been made, including the ability to map any three parameters of all models within any order. Significantly diffusion tensor parameters can now by mapped.


relax 1.0.3

This is a bugfix release. Two bugs affecting specific calculations of the spectral density gradient and Hessian have been removed. One occurs in the Hessian when optimising the spherical diffusion parameters simultaneously with the parameters Sf2, τf, S2, and τs. The other affects the gradient when optimising the parameters Sf2, Ss2, and τs.


relax 1.0.2

This release corresponds to many changes to the Brownian rotational diffusion tensor.

It includes the shift to the geometric parameters:

[math] D_{iso} = \frac{1}{3} \left( D_x + D_y + D_z \right), \\ D_a = D_z - \frac{1}{2} \left( D_x + D_y \right) , \\ D_r = D_y - \frac{D_x}{2D_a} . [/math]

Numerous bugs in the old correlation time, weights, and direction cosine code have been fixed. A few of these bugs had been fixed previously but those fixes were somehow lost. Two major problems in the calculation of the Hessian of the ellipsoid direction cosines have been fixed and the ellipsoid diffusion tensor now minimises orders of magnitude faster.


relax 1.0.1

relax 1.0.0

The initial relax release.
