Hi Tracker users,

Tracker 4.90 installers for Windows, Mac and Linux are now available from both the Tracker home page (http://physlets.org/tracker/) and ComPADRE (http://www.opensourcephysics.org/items/detail.cfm?ID=7365).

Note that the Tracker website is now hosted on the physlets.org domain (http://physlets.org/tracker/). Please change the Tracker bookmarks/favorites in your browsers to point to this new site. (Soon--hopefully--your browsers will be automatically redirected to the new site from the old one at https://www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker/.)

Some of the changes in this release are listed below. For a more complete list, see the Change Log at http://physlets.org/tracker/change_log.html

  • new circle fitter tool fits a circle to a set of points
  • new fit function autoloading with autoload manager in Data Tool
  • new data shifting in Data Tool
  • new user-settable descriptions of parameters and functions in data builder, model builder and fit builder
  • improved user control of font, icon and footprint sizes
  • improved data function autoloading with autoload manager

There are also a number of bug fixes in this new version. Please contact me if (when?) you discover any bugs in it ;-) And as always, I invite you to contact me with new ideas for improving Tracker!

best regards,

Doug
