• PolyLX has been updated to version 3.1. For news check changelog. There is several major changes, so I do not recommend to use it before release of manual. Yes it will be ready soon
• Simplistic THERMOCALC front-end for constructing PT pseudosections PyPSbuilder v1.0 RC3 released.
• StereoLX MATLAB toolbox is released.
• Do you need easy tool to explore isopleths calculated with PerpleX? Check PyWerami…
• New manual pages for PolyLX are under development. Until final release they are linked under filelist.
