Enhancements compared to current official version

• The automatic entry selection has been improved: It no longer tries to select phases for which another entry is already present in the list of selected phases (match list).
• You can now select an IRF (instrumental resolution file) to be used in Rietveld refinement with FullProf. The file can be selected at the bottom of the "Global" sub-tab on the "Expert" tab in the "Parameter Turn-on" window if the Thompson-Cox-Hastings pseudo-Voigt (TCH-pV; Npr=7) profile function is selected.
• You can select a default IRF (instrumental resolution file) for being used in Rietveld refinement using FullProf.
• You can now export/create a FullProf instrumental resolution file (IRF) with format "RES=4" both using the menu command "File / Export / Peak data" as well as by pressing the button "Export" in the "Add/edit instrumental broadening standard" window.
• The Rietveld output file format has been modified, so that the individual reflection data for each phase are now written at the end of the fpcalc.out file.
• A bug affecting the online update (display of download web page) on Windows systems has been resolved.
• Some minor improvements and bug fixes have been implemented as well.
