Nimloth & Sindarin Changelog

The user-facing changelog for Nimloth and Sindarin.

Version 1.0.12 [25/09/2026]

Nimloth

Search-Match: The Search Match button is always enabled. If there are no peaks yet, clicking it runs Peak Detection first and drops the peaks below 1% of the highest peak of the selected files before opening the mode.
Crystal database: Fixed the COD panel saying “You are offline” in the installed app, which prevented the database download. A corrupted COD database is now discarded and the download is offered again.
Crystal database: Downloading CIF files from the COD shows a clear message when the server cannot be reached.
Search-Match: Fixed a crash when an element filter contained a symbol that is not a chemical element.
Interface: Fixed Nimloth not opening when its icon was clicked again while it was still starting.
Other: Fixed an error when the file list was refreshed while a work file was being saved, and the manual update no longer fails when the Sindarin manual is open in a PDF reader. Minor issues have been resolved.

Sindarin

Results: In the bond valence analysis, an anion now counts the bonds in which it appears in the coordination shell of a cation, so its sum and coordination number agree with the cations (for example, the oxygens of a phosphate).
Crystal database: Fixed an error when importing a crystal with an HISO (isolated hydrogen) atom.

Versions 1.0.2 to 1.0.11 [21/09 to 24/09/2026]

Nimloth

Crystal database: The COD database is now offered at first start, and when a critical correction of the database is published you are warned at startup and in the COD panel. The download can be cancelled, works safely in the background, and restores the previous database if it fails midway. A clear screen is shown when you are offline.
Search-Match: Searching no longer freezes the interface, the status bar shows the progress of the COD scan, and you are asked to confirm before a search over more than 50,000 entries. Several candidates can be selected at once, and a “Remove all” button clears the chosen phases.
Search-Match: The full fit mode is now labeled “Rietveld”, My Crystals candidates are ranked consistently with COD candidates, and the panel shows when a phase came from the database.
Results: New tabs for Reflections, Bonds, Cell (with corrected uncertainties and per-atom values), General (R-Bragg, R-F), Compare models, Plausibility and Correlations, plus a Main Results tab with Rp, GoF and Durbin-Watson.
Diffractogram: Optional white radiation curve. Fixed a blank chart on first display, an error when switching panels after Telchar, and a crash in the reflections, phases and background series.
Diffractogram Processing: Peak picking shows which curve feeds the peaks, and a peak marked by click snaps to the apex (with an option to keep the clicked height). The 3D results chart lets you set the curve parameter. The Step panel keeps its splitter position and has a Clear button per section.
My Crystals: Auto-save keeps the open panel and selection, Volume and Density update right after saving, and the Search/Clear filters moved into the filter panel.
Telchar: “Convert Uiso to Uanis” is now on by default.
Sindarin Editor: The Record panel closes when you click outside it.
Interface: Tooltips on the column headers of the COD, My Crystals, file list and results tables.
Other: Switching works no longer reloads the engine twice, the About panel always finds its text, and clearer messages are shown when the disk is full. Minor issues have been resolved.

Sindarin

Crystal database: COD phases are built from the original CIF file when it can be reached, with the bundled database as an announced fallback, and atoms on special positions land exactly on them.
Language: An atom’s declared oxidation state (Nox) now feeds the bond valence sum directly, and neighbors without a declared Nox are skipped instead of mis-scored.
Refinement: Variables with a min/max limit refine correctly within the range again, a partial recalculation cycle no longer ends outside a limit, a “LAMBDA OUT” in a secant cycle restarts from the best cycle, and results no longer depend on the number of threads.
Refinement: Final uncertainties (ESD) and correlations are computed from the full Jacobian at convergence, and the NULL COLUMN warning is a single message.
Results: Microstructure (WPPM) models report uncertainties consistently across all six size/strain models, and Rp is now calculated.
Telchar: Candidate merit is reported in three levels (Accepted, Acceptable, Unsatisfactory), ExcludeRegion no longer blocks the FPA candidate scan, and every refinable parameter is tried before the refinement stops.
Telchar: Fixed a refined result whose chi2 was low in Telchar but high when interpreted again, which could happen in quantitative analyses with preferred orientation.
Telchar: The width (sd) of the Voigtian size distribution is now refined; if it correlates with the size, both are refined in turns instead of one being fixed.
CLI: New --json, --no-update-check and --non-interactive options (the last is automatic when input is redirected), and a proper exit code for scripts.
Sindarin Editor: Fixed a freeze caused by a ] right after a digit inside an ExcludeRegion.

Version 1.0.1 [30/06/2026]

Nimloth

Diffractogram Processing: New “Peak height match” mode in Search-Match, which fits the phases by peak height (direct subtraction) without running a refinement.
Telchar: New “Enforce physical Uiso/Uanis range” option (global and per-work) that keeps the atomic displacement parameters within a physically acceptable range during refinement.
Sindarin error terminal: The Record now follows the end automatically during Interpret/Step/Walk/Marathon (previously only during Telchar); it stays at the bottom and stops only when you scroll up.

Version 1.0.0 [26/06/2026]

First stable release.

Nimloth

Search-Match: New phase-identification tool in the Diffractogram Processing panel. It searches candidate phases in the COD and My Crystals databases, ranks them by a figure of merit, and models the chosen phases over your experimental pattern — either with a full multi-phase Rietveld refinement (with profile/lattice/Uiso toggles) or a fast profile fit that refines only the scale. Candidate and chosen phases support drag-and-drop.
Diffractogram Processing: New “Write Inscription” button that writes the generated Sindarin inscription to the work file and opens it in the editor. The Instrument step now also asks for the monochromator, sample type, and geometry.
My Crystals: Anisotropic displacement parameters (the six Uij) can now be viewed and edited per atom; an “Aniso” checkbox switches between isotropic and anisotropic and converts between them.
Results: Reflections and microstructure can now be shown hierarchically — when an anisotropic profile splits a family of equivalent reflections, the sub-families are expandable.
Sindarin Editor: Code completion now suggests the Monochromator entry.
Telchar: New “Run final Marathon” option (global and per-work) that can be turned off for a faster result.
Crystal database: The installed COD database version is now shown, and the bundled database was updated.
About: New ChangeLog tab; the License tab is now rendered from Markdown.
Updates: Windows and Linux automatic updates are now cryptographically signed and verified.
Denoising: The self-trained GR2R (“train on my data”) no longer stops too early, which could make the result disappear from the chart.
Other: Fixed several stability issues, including a half-drawn chart during refinement, switching the active work during a run, multiple Help dialogs opening at once, and a few crashes reported during use.

Sindarin

Results: A reflection family can now be split into sub-families when an anisotropic profile (size, strain, size distribution, or fault) breaks its symmetry degeneracy.

Version 0.1.107 [16/06/2026]

Nimloth

Diffractogram Processing — Denoising: New self-trained GR2R method that learns directly from your own pattern (self-supervised) — slower than the built-in model, but can give better results for your specific data. New “MC passes” slider to control the Monte Carlo averaging quality of the GR2R denoiser.
Diffractogram Processing — Profile Fit: New peak asymmetry models, Split (faster) and Circle (more precise). Choose the peak width mode — a single shared Caglioti width, or an individual width refined per reflection. New “My Own Profile Fit” mode — paste an already-refined Sindarin inscription and get the peak list (position, intensity, FWHM) without re-running the fit.
Diffractogram Processing — Peak detection: Now updates automatically as you adjust its parameters.
My Crystals / COD: Chemical formulas are now shown ordered by electronegativity, following the usual chemical convention.
Sindarin Editor: Fixed Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X not copying or cutting text. Fixed an error and improved stability when using undo repeatedly. The error terminal (Record tab) gains a “Go to end” button and copy support (Ctrl+C / right-click).
Updates: The “App update” setting is now respected on startup — a staged update is no longer applied automatically when you chose “Never”.
Other: Minor issues have been resolved.

Version 0.1.106 [12/06/2026]

Nimloth

Results: New Bonds tab in the Results panel showing bond distances and angles per phase.
Diffractogram: Custom background now offers CosineFourier and free-form inscription options. Fixed a UI freeze (the chart series build now runs off the UI thread) and a “Call from invalid thread” error when building optional chart series.
Diffractogram Processing: New step button per stage for fine-grained control. The Profile Fit step now requires a peak list before execution. Peak detection now runs directly over the raw diffractogram (before background subtraction). The Kα2 strip is now applied before baseline removal (correct processing order).
Sindarin Editor: Added code folding for Sindarin syntax blocks, block indent guides (with an end tick at the base of each block’s last line), active-block background highlight, and a clean gutter. Toggle buttons for the guides and block background, with dedicated icons. Custom icons for code completion entries and declaration tooltips. Code completion for data files now also triggers for BackgroundFile references. New Fit/Fix one-by-one command (!) with the Ctrl+Shift+D shortcut. Atom lines are now correctly recognized as AtomSymbol blocks during nesting validation. The Telchar button is shown as a gear badge in the editor’s upper-right corner.
Telchar: New global configuration panel and per-work options.
My Crystals: Anisotropic displacement parameters (Uanis) are now persisted with legacy-database compatibility.
Settings: New setting defaults now survive upgrades (values absent in the user’s settings file are no longer reset to zero).

Versions 0.1.89 – 0.1.105 [16/05 – 10/06/2026]

Nimloth

Diffractogram Processing: A new tool to prepare your experimental patterns before analysis — remove background noise (denoising) and strip the Kα2 contribution.
Crystal database: You can now search crystal structures directly in the Crystallography Open Database (COD) and add them to your library.
My Crystals: The crystal library now opens large collections much faster and uses less memory.
Sindarin Editor: Code completion was expanded, with suggestions for experimental data files and parameter values, and several refinements to the suggestion window.

Sindarin

Profile: The size parameter in VoigtianSize with shape Sphere is now expressed as a diameter instead of the cube root of the volume, standardizing it with the SizeDistribution function. VoigtianSize also has a new parameter, KSphere, allowing a custom value for the Scherrer constant applied to the sphere crystallite shape.
⚠️ Breaking change: The VoigtianSize changes in this version affect the results of previous calculations using this function — the profile width will be broader than before. Running an optimization command (e.g. walk) updates the parameter to the equivalent new size value.

Other: Minor issues and minor layout improvements have been resolved.

Sindarin

Profile: When the Voigt or VoigtWavelength profile uses the η parameter to compute the Gaussian and Lorentzian components, the calculation now uses a more accurate numerical approximation.
⚠️ Breaking change: The η parameter in the Voigt and VoigtWavelength profiles is no longer calculated in the same way as in the pseudo-Voigt model. The interpretation is similar (η = 1 purely Lorentzian, η = 0 purely Gaussian), but the numerical value is not equivalent to that of the previous version.
Other: Minor issues have been resolved.
