  • Possibility to save and restore in XML format the state of JANIS: plots, tables, settings, etc.
  • Load own data: plot, tabulate and compare user's data provided in simple ASCII format
  • Possibility to multiply data by energy (similar to 'x sqrt(E)', which was already available)
  • Fission Yields can be displayed on 2D colormaps
  • Web interface with basic features
  • Code Signing Certificate
  • Recently released libraries are included in the NEA database:
  • GEFY-3.3 (GEF-based fission-fragment yield library)
  • Nubase 2012 (Basic nuclei properties)
  • TENDL-2012 (TALYS-based evaluated nuclear data library)
  • Corrected bugs and improved functionalities:
  • Save of nuclide charts as pictures was exporting only the top-left corner of the whole chart
  • Using 'Move top' with the 'Data' level in Selection Tree setting dialog was not working
  • The search done by the 'Compare with evaluated data' feature is now faster
  • Multi-byte Unicode labels (e.g. Japanese) were incorrectly placed on plots

  • Decay Path Viewer: mode 'A Z Symbol N' implemented for nuclide labels
  • ENDF MF3+MF33 was incorrectly labelled as 'Cross section + Variance' as the 'Standard deviation' was the quantity used to display the error band

  • Corrected bugs :
  • GTK+ Look & Feel (available since Java 1.4.2 Linux distributions) was causing a bug in table display
  • Aqua Look & Feel (available under Mac): an increasing offset between displayed icons and mouse click coordinates made the selection tree window unusable in its lower part
  • HTTP proxy settings: the name proxy.sample.com was meant to be a fictitious one, but recently this address became accessible on the Internet making connection to the NEA database impossible. The checkbox (Use a proxy server) in the Preferences dialog was not working and in fact all connections were made through the proxy but this problem went unnoticed because the address was unreachable.

New in JANIS 2.2.1 (Jan 24, 2012)
