Here is the change summary: " A major overhaul of the parallelism infrastructure (runpar) was done. It now uses fileserver for both reads and writes in the cluster versions. A binary release was made for AMD64, and support for OSX was improved. A new program, refine2d.py, was added for generating reference-free class-averages from a set of particles. A new program, makeinitialmodel.py, was added for constructing 3D models from blobs. The AIRS software was greatly expanded and improved with Chimera bindings. Major improvements were done to the experimental 2D crystallography preprocessing program (qindex)."
