WinTimestamps revision history
==============================

Release 1.03.0001
=================

- revised: Only general maintenance work was done.

Release 1.03.0000
=================

- new: The help file WinTimestamps.hlp has been replaced by WinTimestamps.chm.
  The new file is needed for Windows 10.

- debugging: The new program release fixes a bug that may have occurred while file saving
  of measurements with long measuring time and very low count rate.

Release 1.02.0003
=================

- debugging: The new program release fixes a bug that refers to the help content.
  The table of contents contained non-existing topics.

Release 1.02.0002
=================

- new: The new program release allows to save and open PTR-32HV ASCII files (*.asc)
  and PTR-32HV binary files (*.bin).

Release 1.01.0010
=================

- debugging: The new program release provides a debugged version (1.06.0003) of the 
  MCA-527 oscilloscope.

Release 1.01.0009
=================

- modified: Quicker method for coincidence and multiplicity counting.

Release 1.01.0008
=================

- modified: The program supports MCA-527 Micro and MCA-527 OEM with activated list modes now. 

Release 1.01.0007
=================

- debugging: The previous installation package provided a wrong file (mca527osc.dll)
  for the MCA-527 oscilloscope. Nothing happened when the corresponding button was pressed. 

Release 1.01.0006
=================

- debugging: Previous releases of the program wrote incorrect data files if the number
  of timestamps was less than 100.

Release 1.01.0005
=================

- new: The program allows to use two different algorithms for the AHRC group width
  adjustment now. The algorithm that was used until release 1.00.0008 can be used again. 


Release 1.01.0004
=================

- debugging: Previous releases of the program lost the connection to the MCA527 during
  the data transfer if the whole available memory was used with measurement data. 
  The problem occurred just before all the data were transmitted.

- debugging: Previous releases of the program chrashed if the program lost the 
  connection to the MCA527 during the data transfer and the user did not reconnect. 
   

Release 1.01.0003
=================

- debugging: Previous releases of the program crashed at more than 33554432 timestamps.

Release 1.01.0002
=================

- new: The menu command "Analysis" | "Generate a test data file for INCC ..." 
  allows the subsequent generation of a test data file for INCC from one or
  several existing data files.

- debugging: In some cases, data file writing corrupted the raw data within
  the program memory. If this happened, the following data analyses produced
  wrong results.

Release 1.01.0001
=================

- modified: The number of multiplicities written into the test data file for INCC
  was reduced to 128.
  

Release 1.01.0000
=================

- new: compressed data format

- modified: AHRC group width adjustment

- hint: The program needs MCA-527 firmware version 14.00 or higher.

Release 1.00.0008
=================

- new: analog high rate counting (AHRC)

- modified: The menu commands "JSR12" and "JSR14" has been renamed
  to "Coincidence counting" and "Multiplicity counting".

- debugging: The algorithm for the calculation of the multiplicity contained
  a small inconsistency which caused that the low multiplicities were calculated
  too high.

- hint: The program needs MCA-527 firmware version 13.08 or higher.

Release 1.00.0007
=================

- new: defaults: preset time=100s, input polarity=positive,
  trigger threshold=100, coarse gain=2

- new: repeat mode, generation of a collective test data file
  for INCC from the repeated measurements

Release 1.00.0006
=================

- new: defaults: preset time=100s, input polarity=negative


Release 1.00.0005
=================

- debugging: Previous releases of the program crashed with very low count rate
  during JSR12 and JSR14 analysis.
- debugging: At program release 1.00.0004, saving of *.mca did not work.

Release 1.00.0004
=================

- debugging: Previous releases pf the program crashed with very low count rate.
- new: The rossi-alpha distribution can be written in a text file.
  (This file format is not the final version. It is the basis for the discussion
  about a future ASCII based file format for saving the calculated data.)

Release 1.00.0003
=================

- hint: The program needs MCA-527 firmware version 13.06 or higher.

Release 1.00.0000
=================

- hint: The program needs MCA-527 firmware version 13.03 or higher.
