JANIS Changelog

What's new in JANIS 4.0

Sep 18, 2013
  • New functionalities:
  • Possibility to save and restore in XML format the state of JANIS: plots, tables, settings, etc.
  • Load own data: plot, tabulate and compare user's data provided in simple ASCII format
  • Possibility to multiply data by energy (similar to 'x sqrt(E)', which was already available)
  • Fission Yields can be displayed on 2D colormaps:
  • colormap FYI 235U colormap GEFY33 225Th
  • Web interface with basic features
  • Code Signing Certificate
  • Recently released libraries are included in the NEA database:
  • GEFY-3.3 (GEF-based fission-fragment yield library)
  • Nubase 2012 (Basic nuclei properties)
  • TENDL-2012 (TALYS-based evaluated nuclear data library)
  • Corrected bugs and improved functionalities:
  • Save of nuclide charts as pictures was exporting only the top-left corner of the whole chart
  • Using 'Move top' with the 'Data' level in Selection Tree setting dialog was not working
  • The search done by the 'Compare with evaluated data' feature is now faster
  • Multi-byte Unicode labels (e.g. Japanese) were incorrectly placed on plots
  • PDF font embedding was not working with Java 7
  • Plotter was becoming slower when zooming on detail with Y axis in Lin and many curves out of the Y range of the zoomed region
  • Decay Path Viewer: mode 'A Z Symbol N' implemented for nuclide labels
  • ENDF MF3+MF33 was incorrectly labelled as 'Cross section + Variance' as the 'Standard deviation' was the quantity used to display the error band
  • EXFOR search results now only display the first author to reduce the width of results table, others authors are displayed in a tooltip
  • The EXFOR unit 'MB2/SR2' was understood as milli(barn2) instead of (milli(barn))2

New in JANIS 3.4 (May 31, 2012)

  • Functionalities:
  • Support of recent changes in ENDF format:
  • Extension of the fission energy release format (MF1/MT458)
  • New format for Resolved Resonance Parameters : R-Matrix Limited Format (MF2, LRF=7)
  • Decay paths viewer has been redesigned to provide a clearer display and more customization options
  • Recently released libraries are included in the NEA remote database
  • Corrected bugs and improved functionalities:
  • Resolved and Unresolved Resonance Parameters display has been extended
  • 'Cross section + Variance' display was wrong: the shaded area was incorrectly showing triangular shapes, the bug was corrected and it is now possible to tabulate variances
  • Weighting can be used with computations results
  • Database connection dialog has been simplified.
  • An option “Unselect Others” was added in Renderer selection component
  • EXFOR searches with ‘Product A’ where not retrieving results
  • CINDA Search “open results” was sometimes generating NullPointerException

New in JANIS 3.3 (Jan 24, 2012)

  • New functionalities:
  • Display of neutron and proton drip lines on the Nuclide Chart
  • Search on nuclide now accepts ranges for Z, A
  • File Open dialog automatically detects file format when set to AUTO
  • Plots can be exported in PDF format
  • Display of radioactive nuclide production data from ENDF File 8
  • Corrected bugs and improved functionalities:
  • Goto dialog has been simplified
  • Display of magic lines
  • Computation dialog is more robust
  • Anti-aliasing preference for text and curves displayed in Renderer window(s)
  • Memory usage was improved and is now displayed at the right of the status bar
  • New plot marks
