Software

Released

This is software that is ready to be used. We have either published it in some format or are otherwise reasonably confident that it works as intended. However, software can never be guaranteed to be error free and in some cases the documentation on simple functions may still be a little thin. We welcome bug reports and support requests on this software.

Beta

This is very preliminary code. It executes and performs generally as expected in common cases, but has not been extensively error checked, is not fully documented, etc. Use this code for actual research at your own risk. Tests and bug reports are greatly appreciated.

Alpha

This is code that is still under development. We provide a list of the projects that we are working on in case other scientists envision a need for the code and are either interesting in helping with development or receiving updates on its status. We don't post the actual code to reduce that chance that it is used inappropriately, but are willing to provide what we have upon request.
