Simplified language to deal with electron configurations: A number of functions have been worked out to simplify the generation, manipulation, extraction and display of (large lists of) electron configuration; these functions also help to extract different information about leading configuration, coupling schemes, etc. See, for example, ? AbstractConfigurationThemes or ? extractFromConfiguration. (October'25)
ForPedestrians: A new module ForPedestrians provides simple-man's functions to compute low-lying level energies of atoms and ions as well as transition rates, cross sections and selected estimates with minimum input but with a number of simplifying assumptions; ? ForPedestrians. (September'25)
Documentation: An efficient scheme has been established to provide both, stable and development, version for the JenaAtomicCalculator package. (July'25)
New B-Spline module: The B-Spline bases of atomic orbitals has been re-implemented to make self-consistent-field computations more efficient. (March'25)
Re-organized Plasma.Computation(): The computation of plasma properties have been expanded and re-organized in order to support the SahaBoltzmannScheme and the LineShiftScheme. (January'25)

Dielectronic recombination into high-h shells: New empirical and run-time features now support the efficient computation of DR resonances strengths if the electron capture occurs into high-n (n > 15) shells. (October'24)
New and re-organized basic data types: Several new abstract and concrete data types have been implemented (and re-organized) in the module Basics. (August'24)
First design of empirical computations: A new kind Empirical.Computation() has been established to support electron-impact ionization (EII) cross sections. (March'24)
