This message announces the release of FreeSnell-1b8.
FreeSnell is a program which computes optical properties of multilayer
thin-film coatings. Dielectric, metallic, and granular metallic films
are supported. The FreeSnell package includes a SCM script (program)
"nk" to create, manage, and query a refractive-index spectral
database.
FreeSnell is an application of the SCM Scheme implementation and the
WB B-tree database package.
FreeSnell is free software. It is released under the GNU General
Public License (GPL).
The FreeSnell home page details installation and links to
distributions, documentation, and examples:

FreeSnell-1b8 news:
* Reorganized "Refractive Index Spectra", adding "Parametric Data"
section with example of parametric refractive-index function.
* Expanded "Maxwell Garnett Theory" section after tracking down
original 1904 paper.
* Added granular metal example with photograph: Gold Ruby Glass.
* Added graph from US Patent 6,399,228 to metal-film regression suite.
* Improved error reporting and handling.
* Improved installation.
* Website moved to http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/FreeSnell
