	    Program: CNSsolve
	    Version: 1.0
	Patch level: 0
	     Status: general release

Changes for version 1.0
-----------------------

Program:

- increased field length for reporting cell dimensions read from 
  map and mask files
- more informative message when program cannot obtain enough memory
- removed use of C preprocessor 
- faster automatic build of source directory Makefile

HTML Interface:

- numeric entries can be set to blank to allow cut and paste
- error checking for blank numeric entries

HTML Documentation:

- added entries to FAQ
- minor changes to fix typos in tutorials

Task files:

- fixed major bugs in:
    xtal_twin/*.inp (incorrect number of reflections selected in some 
                     spacegroups)

- changes to:
    general/neighbours.inp (option to write out only residues close to the
                            molecule of interest)
    xtal_phase/mad_phase.inp (write out f'/f'' values for each scattering type
                              if multiple atom types are used)
    xtal_refine/bindividual.inp (improved restraint weight estimation)
                optimize_rweight.inp ( " )
                refine.inp           ( " )
                water_pick.inp (better handling of picking with strict NCS)
    xtal_twin/bindividual_twin.inp (improved restraint weight estimation)
              water_pick_twin.inp (better handling of picking with strict NCS)

- new files:
    general/mtf_to_psf.inp (convert MTF file to PSF file)
    general/molecule_extent.inp (calculate extent of a molecule in orthogonal
                                 Angstroms)
   
Libraries:

- none

Utilities:

- fixed bug in mtz_to_cns (writing 2 headers when using CCP4 version 3.5)
- fixed bug in to_cns which rejected scalepack reflections when the
  intensity was equal to -1
