==== archimedes ====
 
'''archimedes''' is a 2D Quantum Monte Carlo simulator for semiconductor devices.  New features for Fedora 17 include:
 
* Quantum Effective Potential modified
* Bohm Potential Model implemented
* Calibrated Bohm Model implemented
* Density Gradient corrected and tested
* Full effective potential model implemented
* New tests created
* Parabolic, Kane and Full band checked
* Full band Parameters for all materials
* Scattering phonons can be set to ON and OFF
* Support to Full Band approach
 
 
==== gnome-chemistry-utils ====
 
'''gnome-chemistry-utils''' has been updated to the latest development release.
 
Changes include:
 
* GChem3d:
** Import from InChI or SMILES.
** Export to GChemPaint and GChemCalc.
** Generates InChI, InChiKey and SMILES.
** Add access to databases.
* GChemPaint:
** Brackets inside a molecule accept a stoichiometry coefficient.
* GCrystal:
** Use multiple selection in atoms and lines dialogs.
* GSpectrum:
** Allow markup in combo boxes and axes titles.
* Goffice component:
** Add support for crystal structures.
 
 
==== gnuplot ====
 
In addition to a number of bug fixes, '''gnuplot''' 4.4.4 includes:
* boxxyerrors plot style now allows variable color
* splot with pm3d now allows variable rgb color
* "nonuniform matrix" indicates ascii data with explicit x, y
* columnhead(N) is a string-valued function, not a keyword
* Demarcate plots in svg output using <g id="Plot_#"><title>...
* xticlabels() works for binary data files as well as ascii
* "set key maxrows" now applies to 3D plots as well as 2D
 
 
==== lapack ====
 
'''lapack''' has been updated to 3.4.0,
* xGEQRT: QR factorization (improved interface). xGEQRT is analogous to xGEQRF with a modified interface which enables better performance when the blocked reflectors need to be reused. The companion subroutines xGEMQRT apply the reflectors.
* xGEQRT3: recursive QR factorization. The recursive QR factorization enables cache-oblivious and enables high performance on tall and skinny matrices.
* xTPQRT: Communication-Avoiding QR sequential kernels. These subroutines are useful for updating a QR factorization and are used in sequential and parallel Communication Avoiding QR. These subroutines support the general case Triangle on top of Pentagon which includes as special cases so-called Triangle on top of Triangle and Triangle on top of Square. This is the right-looking version of the subroutines and the subroutines are blocked. The T matrices and the block size are part of the interface. The companion subroutines xTPMQRT apply the reflectors.
* LAPACKE - Standard C language APIs for LAPACK. Since LAPACK 3.3.0, LAPACK includes new C interfaces. With the LAPACK 3.4.0 release, LAPACKE is directly integrated within the LAPACK library and has been enriched by the full set of LAPACK subroutines.

==== R ====
 
The statistics package '''R''' has been updated to ''December Snowflakes''.  Key changes include:
 
* NEW FEATURES:
** Reference classes now keep a record of which fields are locked. $lock() with no arguments returns the names of the locked fields.
** HoltWinters() reports a warning rather than an error for some optimization failures (where the answer might be a reasonable one).
** tools::dependsOnPkg() now accepts the shorthand dependencies = "all".
** parallel::clusterExport() now allows specification of an environment from which to export.
** tempfile() on a Unix-alike now takes the process ID into account. This is needed with multicore (and as part of parallel) because the parent and all the children share a session temporary directory, and they can share the C random number stream used to produce the uniaue part.  Further, two children can call tempfile() simultaneously.
** Option print in Sweave's RweaveLatex() driver now emulates auto-printing rather than printing (which can differ for an S4 object by calling show() rather than print()).
** filled.contour() now accepts infinite values: previously it might have generated invalid graphics files (e.g. containing NaN values).
* PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
** R CMD INSTALL will now do a test load for all sub-architectures for which code was compiled (rather than just the primary sub-architecture).
*  UTILITIES:
** When checking examples under more than one sub-architecture, R CMD check now uses a separate directory examples_arch for each sub-architecture, and leaves the output in file pkgname-Ex_arch.Rout.  Some packages expect their examples to be run in a clean directory ....
