Release Notes

rev-distro-2.0.0

  • The interface of data reduction functions has changed to make data reduction more efficient in multi-peak fits. The supplied reduction functions and dialogs have been refactored. If you want to use your own reduction functions written for pre-2.0, you have to adapt them to the new interface.

rev-distro-1.1.1

  • If you have upgraded PEARL Procedures from pre-1.1.1 and Igor breaks in pearl-elog.ipf while opening an experiment, please delete the ELOG preferences file pearl-elog/preferences.pxp. (Check the Igor Help to find the package preferences folder on your system.)
