Version 1.2

This new release (Version 1.2) contains a few major updates, as well as some minor bug fixes:

Changes since the last release include:

-Complete overhaul of the simulation toolkit. Previously, metabolite spin-systems with more than 7 spins were broken up into several different sub-systems, and each one needed to be simulated separately by the user. In this new version, all of the parts of a metabolite spin system are stored within a single structure array which contains all of the parts of the spin system in separate elements of the structure array. Simulations now automatically operate on all parts of the spin system in a single call, and the separate parts of the spin system are automatically combined at the end. Scaling information is also included in the structure array, and is applied automatically so that the user does not need to worry about scaling of the basis sets anymore.

-Highly accelerated shaped simulations have now been implemented using the method described by Yan Zhang et al. Med Phys 2017;44(8): 4169-78. (See 'run_simPressShaped_fast.m', 'run_simMegaPressShaped_fast.m', and 'run_simMegaPressShapedRefoc_fast.m'). This speedup factor has dramatically reduced the time required to perform spatially resolved simulations.

-A few new processing tools, including a tool for adjusting the linewidth of two spectra to match each other ('op_matchLW.m'), a tool for extracting spectra from the 'extras' dimension ('op_takeextras.m'), and a tool for concatenating spectra along the frequency dimension ('op_concatFreq.m').

-New read functions for Bruker NMR data, and Siemens .rda data.

-Lots of little bug fixes.

Version 1.1

This new release (Version 1.1) contains all of the latest updates and bug fixes to the FID-A toolkit.

Changes since the last release include:

-Many of the processing options have been updated to reduce the number of required input arguments.
-Example data have now been included in the repository. Note that due to their large size, the "Large File Storage" (LFS) GitHub extension must be installed in order to download these example data from the repository.
-The FID-A manual has been updated to reflect all of the latest changes.

Please let me know of any issues or questions using the "Issues" tab at https://github.com/cic-methods/fid-a.

Enjoy!

Version 1.0

The manuscript describing the FID-A toolkit has finally been accepted and published online (see Simpson R et al. Advanced processing and simulation of MRS data using the FID Appliance (FID-A) - An open-source MATLAB-based toolkit., Magn Reson Med 2015, doi: 10.1002/mrm.26091)! This version of FID-A (Version 1.0) is timed to coincide with the publication of the manuscript. All functions described in the manuscript refer to this version of the toolkit.

For publications making use of the FID-A toolkit (or code based on the FID-A toolkit), please cite the above paper.

Version 1.0-beta2

FID-A version 1.0-beta2 is timed to coincide with the re-re-submission for publication of the first manuscript describing the FID-A toolkit. During manuscript review, any necessary changes will be made to the software, and version 1.0 will be tagged to coincide with the final publication of the manuscript.

Version 1.0-beta

FID-A version 1.0-beta is timed to coincide with the re-submission for publication of the first manuscript describing the FID-A toolkit. During manuscript review, any necessary changes will be made to the software, and version 1.0 will be tagged to coincide with the publication of the manuscript.

Version 1.0-alpha

FID-A version 1.0-alpha is timed to coincide with the submission for publication of the first manuscript describing the FID-A toolkit. During manuscript review, any necessary changes will be made to the software, and version 1.0 will be tagged to coincide with the publication of the manuscript.
