ADF Updates (Release Notes)

This document summarizes the changes between successive versions of the ADF package (including BAND) and of the utility programs used in combination with the main programs.

The Chapters are in reverse time order: the most recent ones come first.

This document focuses on reporting error repairs and changes in functionality or performance. Technical changes in the code may not be mentioned if they:

• have only very small effects on numerical results and/or the program's performance,
• solve bugs that let the program crash in certain circumstances,
  but which do not affect the outcomes in calculations that terminate normally.

Explanations of new keywords, options, etc. are brief: for more details see the User manuals. The same holds for installation stuff. Generally: read the documentation! This write-up is intended to draw your attention to important changes, not to explain every detail.
