CARA 1.9.1 is available. The release includes many behind the scenes changes, which will make it easier to develop CARA. One visible manifestation of this is a completely new scope designed for the analysis of 4D spectra (FourDScope). The Qt/Lua binding has been completely rewritten. Writing of Lua scripts has become easier: a fully featured debugger is integrated into the CARA Explorer and the Lua/Programmers manual is extensively updated.

Major improvements with respect to 1.9.0:
Spectra- Spectra larger than 4GB can be read in (64 bit file streams are supported)
- Levels are not calculated immediately upon loading spectra into a project to save time
- Topspin spectrum parameters YMAX_p, YMIN_p and NC_proc are read & used tor scaling of intensities
Scopes- New FourDScope with 2D Navigation similar to PolyScope for 3D spectra
Lua New Lua development environment- source and byte code level debugger
- supports breakpoints and stepping (incl. for callbacks)
- local and stack views
NAF (NMR Application Framework)- Some parts of NAF using Lexi were replaced by Qt
- new SpecView3 & Gui2 module (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/NAF)
- new components architecture (FourDScope was built with this, other scopes still use old architecture)
Known issues- NEASY will not be included in the new architecture and has been discontinued (still available with older CARA releases like 1.8.4)
- FourDScope is still under development. Currently SpinLinks do not generate the correct NOE crosspeaks. We are working on this.
