Latest stable version:

globes-3.0.11.tar.gz (September, 14, 2007)

Current development version:

globes-3.1.11.tar.gz (January 12, 2012)

The development version roughly reflects the current development status of GLoBES. Compared to the stable version, it has some added features, but has not been tested as thoroughly yet as the stable version. Please refer to the NEWS file for a change log and list of new features.

Note: In v3.0.8, we have fixed a bug in the χ² calculations. Up to v3.0.7, the true and fitted event rates were interchanged in the computation of the Poissonian χ². This may have some visible effect only in some situations with low event rates, but it does not invalidate existing results. v3.0.9 in addition fixes a minor bug in the way included files in AEDL are handled. v3.0.11 resolves some issues with non IEEE-conforming arithmetic on x86 CPUs.

Note: Since v3.1.10, GLB_POWELL is the default minimization algorithm. In previous versions, you had to explicitly call glbSelectMinimizer() to use that algorithm. The behavior of GLB_POWELL is almost identical to that of the old GLB_NESTED_POWELL (except in some pathological cases with several, almost degenerate local minima), but if you need to switch back to the older, slower GLB_NESTED_POWELL, you can do so by calling glbSelectMinimizer(GLB_NESTED_POWELL).

Note: v3.1.11 represents the first release of globes-tools, which offers degeneracy finding. Currently, there is minimal documentation in form of a manpage for globes-discovery.
