GAMGI 0.15.7

GAMGI (General Atomistic Modelling Graphic Interface) is a free and open source scientific tool that aims to be useful for:
· the scientific community working in atomistic modelling, who needs a graphic interface to build and analyse atomic structures;
· the scientific community at large, who needs a graphic interface to study atomic structures and to prepare images for presentations;
· teaching the atomic structure of matter in schools and universities, even inviting students to run GAMGI at home;
· science promotion, in exhibitions and science museums.

GAMGI can be installed on any computer running Linux/Unix with the standard X Window System.

· Added more crystalline structures: Fe2B, CdI2, beta-quartz.
· Added more crystalline structures: AuBe5, CaCu5, TiO2 (rutile), ZnWO4, plus Laves phases Cu2Mg, MgZn2, MgNi2.
· Added models for martensitic transformations: Bain, Nishiyama - Wassermann and Kurdjumov - Sachs.
· Added graphene based structure, to illustrate (zig-zag, arm-chair and chiral) carbon nanotube (p,q) designation.
· Added more crystalline structures: alpha-Mn, beta-Mn, alpha-U, Al3Ti, Cr3Si, Al3Zr4, Fe3C, Al2O3 (corundum), CatiO3 (perovskite), MgAl2O4 (spinel).
· A crash occurred in static_grab_objects. Select Region is working fine under heavy loads. Researching (and compiling with -g).
· Added new screenshots, showing Atom->Select, to select lists of atoms, and Plane->List, to build lists of plane families.
· Found and removed a bug in Plane->Modify and Direction->Modify: polygon Plane and line Direction wrongly showed default stereographic projection data, when the Cell was not linked. Fixed two related check tests.
