What's new in Stereonet3D 5.8
Jan 9, 2018
- Make the angle between lines, angle between planes, and intersection between two planes methods more robust. This also corrects other related bugs.

- Further fixes to the fault plane solution routine:
- Fix bug when nodal planes are vertical and horizontal
- Don't allow negative plunge in P axis
New in Stereonet3D 5.6 (Dec 18, 2017)
- Improve the functionality of the Fault slip analysis sub-menus:
- Compute fault slip analysis only if striae are on fault plane within 2 degrees error
- Beach ball diagram from fault plane solution
- Beach ball diagram from two ad hoc T and P axes: This is great to quickly create a beach ball diagram
- Add a menu to remove arcs and beach ball diagrams from fault slip analysis
New in Stereonet3D 5.5 (Dec 15, 2017)
- Allow for multiple cylindrical best fits, conical fits, and mean vectors. This is useful for comparing fits to different datasets.

- Emailed data from iPhone Apps StereonetMobile and FaultKinMobile by Richard Allmendinger can be imported to Stereonet3D as a text file.
- Add a Slip Sense column to lines datasets to specify sense of slip of striae on fault plane.
- Under the Plot menu, new fault slip analysis group of menus including: a. HW slip direction, b. Movement planes, c. Tangent lineation, d. T and P axes, e. Unweighted Moment tensor sum, and fault plane solution.

New in Stereonet3D 4.5 (Jun 2, 2014)
- Planes in format 2 are now given as Dip, Dip Direction. Careful: When importing text files of planes in format 2 this new convention should be followed.
- Copy datasets between open documents by drag and drop from/to datasets table.
- Copy entries between open documents or from other applications (e.g. Excel) by drag and drop to entries table.
New in Stereonet3D 4.4 (May 2, 2014)
- Show coordinates as the mouse moves over the Map view

New in Stereonet3D 4.3 (Apr 29, 2014)
- Significantly improve the performance and speed of the Map/Satellite view
- Colors of symbols in Map/Satellite view is now linked to the dataset color rather than the color used to export the dataset to kml. This follows better the program’s design and allows for displaying lines in format 3 (lat-long) with different colors in the Map view.
New in Stereonet3D 4.2 (Apr 24, 2014)
- Improve dip/plunge labels in Map/Satellite view
- Improve color of datasets in Map/Satellite view

- Built in Xcode 4.4
New in Stereonet3D 2.1 (Mar 6, 2012)

- This is more consistent with the way other elements such as contours are drawn in the program.
New in Stereonet3D 1.5 (Aug 25, 2011)
- Fix several rounding errors that specially affected the Rose Diagram (thanks to Jim Trexler for pointing out this bug).
