Changes marked with ** are particularly noteworthy, ones marked with * may also be of interest to typical users.
** 10/2/14: Corrsearch3d can now compute a measure of local structure and use it to eliminate patches from consideration, which allows it to work without a boundary model or tight Z limits. It also takes options that allow it to eliminate patches outside the area that can be reconstructed well. Refinematch and Findwarp can try to fit after eliminating patches with a series of criteria for these local structure values. A new script, Autopatchfit, runs patchcorr and matchorwarp repeatedly with increasing patch size or density to achieve a criterion mean residual. Setupcombine was adapted to these new capabilities.
** 3/2/15: Added a script, Dualvolmatch, to get initial alignment between dual-axis volumes when there are no corresponding fiducials.
** 10/2/14: Added new version of Findsection that analyzes surfaces of a plastic section and can output a model for tomopitch, a model for flattening, and estimates of Z limits for trimming and combine.
* 10/13/16: Changed tilt and sirtsetup command files to show a true sigma value for falloff and changed default falloffs to 0.035. RADIAL FILTER FALLOFFS IN TEMPLATE FILES SHOULD BE DIVIDED BY 1.414 TO HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS BEFORE.
* 9/20/16: In Tilt, added an option to multiply radial filter by Gaussian instead of replacing it, an option for a Hamming-window-like filter that matches the filter in tomo3d, and an option to handle transitioning away from the sigma for the Gaussian being the entered falloff times 0.7.
* 7/30/16: Added option to apply a constant phase shift from a phase plate in Ctfplotter; made Ctfphaseflip able to take into account constant or variable phase shifts and variable astigmatism, and added an option for attenuating frequencies near the zeros. Defined a new defocus file format that can hold phase shifts and astigmatism parameters.
* 5/21/16: Added option to Tilt to apply a radial filter in back-projection that should be equivalent to a given number of SIRT iterations.
* 4/12/16: Made Transferfid work when stacks have different pixel sizes.

* 12/1/15: Made Ccderaser iterate the peak search up to 3 times.
* 11/5/15: Added a script Cryoposition that finds angles and Z position for cryo-tomograms, but not very well. Batchruntomo can now run this.
* 9/30/15: Made Solvematch analyze whether tomograms are inverted, which fixes the ability to combine tomograms with inversion after removal of this option from the interface.
* 9/27/15: Made Tiltalign put out a model with gaps filled in for gold erasing.
* 7/15/15: Added stronger high frequency filtering for patch tracking to the cryoSample template.

* 6/3/15: Changed patch tracking size from 700x700 to 680x680 in system template cryoSample.adoc to give 4x4 patches in 2Kx2K data, also added directive to analyze 1 surface in tiltalign.
* 5/30/16: Made Autofidseed track at least a 7.5 degree range and skip views in the range when tilt increment is very small.
* 5/6/15: Added preliminary version of preNID program from Mauro Maiorca.
* 4/13/15: Added option to Tiltalign to allow grouping of tilt angles across separate view groups and put option in master com file to do this for a patch tracking model.
* 3/4/15: Added ability to run NAD from Batchruntomo, and an option to specify an SMTP server for email.
* 3/1/15: Made Transferfid and Matchrotpairs evaluate mirrored as well as unmirrored images by default.
* 2/25/15: Transferfid can now find alignments when error in 90-degree rotation is up to 20 degrees, using new rotation search in Tiltxcorr. Speed improvements in Xfsimplex and greater efficiency in Transferfid have reduced execution time by about half.
* 2/12/15: Added option to Newstack to insert or change tilt angles in the output file.
* 1/8/15: Added a script Rawtomocoords to compute positions in the raw tilt series, projection angles, and defocus for points marked in a tomogram.
* 1/3/15: Implemented a dynamic adjustment of maximum strip width in Ctfphaseflip to minimize artifactual rings of low values around the zeros in the power spectrum. Spacing between strips is increased between wider strips at low tilt, and the default spacing value in the .com file was reduced to compensate for this change.
* 1/3/15: Ctfplotter changes: Added option to fit a polynomial to make the power spectrum become flat at high frequencies. Made the CTF-like curve be fit with two exponentials when the fitting range extends past halfway between second and third zero. Smoothed noise power spectra to reduce noise added by subtracting them. Made the default power for the CTF-like curve be 1.5 Applied more constraints in the CTF-like fitting to prevent bad fits. Improved initial scaling of display. Added command-line options for setting the baseline fitting order and to extend the initial fitting range beyond the second zero.
* 10/14/14: Batchruntomo can now exclude images at the end of the series with large dark regions, do tomogram positioning for plastic sections, combine dual-axis tomograms, and trim to section limits for plastic sections.
* 9/8/14: Added script Subtomosetup to make command files for generating multiple numbered subtomograms.
* 7/5/14: Batchruntomo has changes for controlling thickness and calls Restrictalign to reduce variable being solved for when necessary.
* 7/2/14: Added script Restrictalign for setting parameters appropriately in a Tiltalign command file when there are low numbers of fiducials.
* 6/24/14: Changed surface analysis in Tiltalign to fit a pair of parallel planes instead of using two independent fits, which can give screwy angles and distances; also output line saying when X-tilt or slope can't be measured.
* 6/17/14: Added script Excludeviews for reversibly removing views from a tilt series and saving them in another file.
