 This document describes incremental modifications made to the Baker lab software suite. Since the image preprocessing,​ image reconstruction,​ format conversion, and utility programs are so tightly coupled (e.g. shared standards and libraries) and released as a single package, all modifications are described together in a single document. Owing to the complexity of the software, it is impractical to provide a line-by-line listing of alterations. Instead we focus primarily on modifications that impact the end user and on large-scale changes to the code. Starting on version 4.02, more details on the changes in the latest version can be found in the file MINOR_RELEASE_NOTES,​ included in the software package. This document describes incremental modifications made to the Baker lab software suite.

 +==== auto3dem v4.05.2 ====
 +
 +== New programs ==
 +  * **prj**: calculate projections from a reconstruction using orientations either random, uniform or from an input data set
 +  * **a3dm_icosrotate**:​ rotate an icosahedral map from standard orientation to one with a pair of vertices positioned along the z axis
 +  * **a3dm_dat_stats**:​ gather information on the results from a run at a given iteration
 +  * **a3dm_sel_stableparts**:​ select only stable particles, i.e. with unchanged orientation with respect to a previous iteration, and generate a new stack parameter file
 +  * **a3dm_plot_score**:​ generate a histogram of the particle scores at a given iteration
 +  * **a3dm_mg_inspect_prepare**:​ generate auxiliary info and images for screening micrographs using //​a3dm_mg_inspect//​
 +  * **a3dm_mg_inspect**:​ quickly inspect and screen micrographs by means of a graphical interface
 +  * **avemaps**:​ compute average of input maps (replaces mergemaps and mergemaps2)
 +
 +== General modifications==
 +  * improved handling of cyclic and dihedral symmetries
 +  * added program a3dm_snapshot to gather information about a run, to send to developers for troubleshooting
 +  * particles read from stack files are now background-subtracted
 +
 +== Random Model Computation ==
 +  * a minimum number of micrographs is used to generate an initial model. This value can be controlled by option //-nmgmin// in **setup_rmc**
 +  * initial master file contains commented line for limiting number of cpus used at reconstruction
 +
 +== General modifications ==
 +  * provided binary for CTFFIND4 in the package (Linux only)
 +  * at start programs will display if compiled in parallel or serial mode 
 +  * maps are flattened with a soft mask, using full map as reference for masking in gold standard
 +  * inconsistency of pixel size in map header does not throw an error anymore
 +
 +== auto3dem ==
 +  * added parameter to control the soft edge with solvent flattening (//auto flatten_falloff//​)
 +  * keep input/​output files used by flatten and hollow procedure
 +  * continue parameter file generated at end of each run has now unique name to avoid overwriting and to keep track of the processing
 +
 +== autopp ==
 +  * :!: option //D// modified to perform binning of micrographs instead of interpolation
 +  * added experimental option 3x in autopp for using ctffind4
 +
 +== robem ==
 +  * added option for performing binning in batch mode (//-bin//)
 +  * improved font appearance
 +  * remove unused read/write menus
 +  * added warning if can not connect to display
 +  * minor fixes on size of file names
 +  * avoid including origin when calibrating maps for subtraction
