Version 2.10 was released in August 2005 and represents a minor bug fix to MIST and SCATMECH. The rotation of the polarization sensitivity over a finite solid angle was miscalculated in previous versions. This version was linked with SCATMECH version 5.01.
Version 2.20 was released in July 2006 and represents a minor bug fix to MIST and SCATMECH. Prefix negative signs in some expressions were not handled correctly. This version was linked with SCATMECH version 5.02.
Version 2.30 was released in August 2006 and represents a minor bug fix to MIST and SCATMECH. The BRDF sampling file capability was restored, and file writing was significantly sped up. This version was linked with SCATMECH version 5.03.
Version 3.00 was released in December 2007 and includes minor changes to MIST and compilation with a new version of SCATMECH. This version was linked with SCATMECH version 6.00. The main change to the MIST code is that it now includes the ability to rename the outputs.
Version 3.01 is a service update, incorporating a minor SCATMECH change. This version was linked with SCATMECH version 6.01.
Version 4.00 added the ability for each integral to have its own incident polarization.
Alternative methods for integration were added, and the default was changed to integrate more uniformly over solid angle.
The ANNULUS integral was added.
Copy and paste capabilities were improved. Entire sections can be copy and pasted. When the model is changed, the user has the option to maintain the assigned values of identically-named parameters.
The polarization sensitivity parameter of the integrals was changed from a dropdown list to a simple string variable.
