Match! version 4.2 Build 352 has been released

January 5, 2026

The new Match! version 4.2 Build 352 is bascially a maintenance release, providing some minor improvements as well as fixes for all currently known bugs:

• A new batch script command "export_crystallite_size_phases_list(filename)" has become available.
• Page margins for exported report and data sheet pdf-files have become wider.
• Several bugs have been fixed:
  • The export of the report to a pdf-file did not work.
  • On Windows, the shortcut <Ctrl + Alt + mouse wheel> for the modification of the zero point as well as <Shift + Ctrl + Alt + mouse wheel> for the specimen displacement error did not work.
  • Due to another bug, Match! might have crashed in certain circumstances while/after loading a Match! document file that has been created using a different reference database version.
  • A bug might have caused Match! to crash if certain "special settings" space groups were used in reference database entries.
  • Caused by another bug, Match! sometimes crashed when trying to automatically process a diffraction pattern in which no peaks could be detected.
  • Some minor bugs have been fixed as well.
