LAYOUT

• NEWS -> inst/NEWS.md

NEW FEATURES

• merged Tamm package

LOW LEVEL

• removed Rcpp modules
• switched to Rcpp Attributes
• exported cpp functions start with cpp_

planar 1.5.2 (2014-08-16)

NEW FEATURES

• full field profile under gaussian beam illumination (reflection and transmission)

• new functions multilayerfull and multilayer_field calculating internal field for a given incident field

USER VISIBLE CHANGES:

• slight changes to the interface of field_profile

LOW LEVEL:

• rewrote the gaussian beam code to use multilayer matrix transfer method

• link to cubature at c++ level to perform the gaussian beam integration

planar 1.5 (2013-12-16)

USER VISIBLE CHANGES:

• initial version of gaussian beam calculations (single layer, incomplete)

• removed demos (see wiki instead)

• more consistent variable names and output

• angles are in radians, distances in nanometres

BUG FIX:

• (Rcpp::)function namespace issues with some c++ compilers

LOW LEVEL:

• tests

• vignettes moved to vignettes/
