 >> 7 February 2019    : New version of BondStr. Magnetic R-factors in Shubnikov options. Correction of bugs.
 ----------------------
    - The program BondStr and its interface have been updated. The program has been published in 
      Journal of Applied Crystallography this year and the supplementary information accompanying 
      the article contains a manual of BondStr. Please use the following reference for citing the
      use of the program:
      
      "An investigation of the structural properties of Li and Na fast ion conductors using high-throughput
      bond-valence calculations and machine learning", by Nebil A. Katcho, Jesus Carrete, Marine Reynaud, Gwenaelle Rousse,
      Montse Casas-Cabanas, Natalio Mingo, Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal and Javier Carrasco, 
      J.Appl.Cryst.(2019),52, 148-157
      
    - When using the Shubnikov formulation (and also symmetry modes) for refining magnetic and crystal 
      structures with neutron diffraction, a global R-Bragg factor was output. Now the Nuclear and Magnetic
      R-Factors are output, moreover a so called "Pure Magnetic R-Factor" is also calculated for reflections
      containing only magnetic contribution. Moreover one can use a d-spacing limit for calculating magnetic
      contributions distinct from the usual DLIM instruction. One has to provide the command: MDLIM n_pat d-spacing 
      within the COMMANDS section. Now the instruction "save_mag_strf" outpus the list of saved magnetic structure
      factors and magnetic interaction vectors for all patterns in files with extension *.mstf
      Example:
      ........
      !Name of my phase ...
      COMMANDS
       MDLIM 1 1.8  MDLIM 2 1.8  MDLIM 3 1.9  MDLIM 4 2.0  MDLIM 5 2.2
       save_mag_strf
      END_COMMANDS
      
    - In the program WinPLOTR-2006 a bug concerning the output of the different colours of reflections
      has been corrected.
      
    - Some bugs in the Linux version of EdPCR have been corrected. EdPCR was crashing when opening and clicking in
      the profile refinement dialog.    
    
    - Correcting a bug in FullProf, only with TOF, when Nor=1 was selected and fixed symmetry operations are provided
      by then user. If a symmetry operator representing a centre of symmetry (e.g. SYMM -x,-y,-z) was present explicitly 
      in the list of operations of a magnetic phase the preferred orientation was wrongly calculated (half the true value) 
      producing a change in the value of the magnetic moment that was higher by a factor of sqrt(2). This has now be corrected.
