v1.0.9-rc1

Add support for:
    Trace sources; both uniform and exponential surface distributions
    Side-on cylinder, end-on cylinder, and rectangular geometries

Non-spherical geometries are currently subject to the limitation that trace and intrinsic sources can only be in the inner-most shielding; this limitation will be removed v1.0.9-rc2.

See 20211117_IAEA_HPGe_InterSpec_SAND2021-14557TR.pdf for an overview of using the new geometries and trace source capabilities.

Version 1.0.8

Mostly smaller quality of life improvements and bug fixes.

Small updates and bug fixes

A host of small bug fixes and improvements. A rewrite of how energy calibration is handled, both for reading from spectrum files and also. Read and export to new spectrum file formats. In-app help documentation has not been updated for changes.

Full release notes to be provided with final v1.0.7 release.

Installation:

• Windows: Download InterSpec-win32-x64_v1.0.7_rc0.zip and unzip to your preferred location (e.x., C:\Program Files\InterSpec) and manually create shortcuts to InterSpec.exe in the Start menu and/or Desktop.
  Requires Windows 10 (Win7 may be supported in final release of 1.0.7)
• macOS: Download InterSpec_v1.0.7_rc0.dmg, open DMG file, and then drag InterSpec.app to your Applications folder.
  Requires macOS ≥10.11 (macOS 10.10 may be supported in final release of 1.0.7).
• Linux: Unzip and run the InterSpec executable.
  Works on Ubuntu 14.04 and up, and should work on other similar distributions.

Stability Improvements, bug fixes, Smaller Improvements

• For Windows and Linux made running application more robust.
• Fixed a few potential js issues when starting up that could prevent app from fully loading.
• Added a "Feature Marker" widget that allows selecting to show escape peak lines, Compton Edge, Compton Scatter and sum-peaks.
• Added ability to fit peaks defined by a previously exported peaks CSV file by dragging the CSV onto the app. Also added a similar functionality when loading a spectrum from the same detector as before (see Help->Options->Ask to Propagate Peaks).
• Added some less-common spectrum file formats and N42 variants.
• Many smaller fixes and improvements.

Gamma flux tool; a number of small improvements and fixes

Added a tool to calculate the flux of gammas for discrete energies; either per unit area, or into 4π steridians.
A number of smaller fixes and improvements.
See https://sandialabs.github.io/InterSpec/releases/ for a more detailed list of changes, especially if upgrading for macOS.

Improve Interactions With the Spectrum Chart

This release primarily builds upon the awesome work of @kenmorte in using D3.js to plot spectra to improve the interactivity with spectra within InterSpec.

Please see https://sandialabs.github.io/InterSpec/releases/ for a full listing of changes.

For Windows (7+) and Linux (Ubuntu 14.0.4+, or similar) unzip the download, and place results wherever you would like; no installation necessary (eg., InterSpec is a portable app).

For macOS (10.10+) download the DMG, open, and drag the InterSpec icon to the Applications folder.
