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.

Add detector response fitting tool; many small fixes.

Add tool to make detector response function (DRF) from characterization data; tutorial on use, and some example spectrum files here.
The included generic NaI detector response functions had some efficiencies that were not correct for some energies; this has been fixed.
Fixed crash on macOS when file or directory was selected to be opened.
Fixed issue downloading CSVs files on macOS.
Added a number of new spectrum file formats, and accommodated some variants of other formats.
Added option to automatically load a DRF from a given detector, or model of detector.
Many smaller bug fixes and improvements.

Small Fixes

Small fixes and improvements.

Version 1.0.1

Visual improvements, bug fixes, small refinements.

Mac: You will need at least macOS 10.10. Download and open DMG file, and drag InterSpec.app into your Applications folder.

Windows: You will need Windows 7 or newer. Download and unzip the ZIP file, and in the resulting directory double click on InterSpec.exe. There is no need to install, but you can move the InterSpec-v1.0.1-win32-x64 folder to C:\Program Files\ or other any other location and create a desktop shortcut and/or start menu item. You can also manually associate spectrum file types with InterSpec.

Linux: You will need Ubuntu 14.04 or newer. Also looks to work on Gentoo; other distributions not tried. Download and untar TGZ archive, and in the resulting directory, run the InterSpec executable. If InterSpec wont run, you may have to install some dependancies (notably sudo apt-get install libnss3 libxss1).

For iOS or Android email interspec@sandia.gov to be added as a tester.

(edited 20190125 to add Linux executable and add installation instructions)

Initial Public Release

First public release of InterSpec.

For both macOS and Windows simply unzip the zip files, place the results where you want them on your hard drive (e.x., /Applications, or C:\Program Files\), and double click on InterSpec.app or InterSpec.exe. For Windows you may want to create a shortcut in the start menu.

SpecFileQuickLook is a macOS QuickLook plugin, and an optional part InterSpec, which provides previews of spectrum file contents inside of the Finder, as file thumbnails, as file previews, inside of email, and more. To install it, unzip SpecFileQuickLook_public_1.0_macOS_20190509.zip and place the SpecFilePreview.qlgenerator bundle in to the /Library/QuickLook/ directory.

This version also available for Android at: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/gov.sandia.interspec

Btw, the to-do and known issues lists are really long, so expect some rough edges.

[edit 20180522: fix issue for Windows if path contained a space. Added Android apk and link to app store]
