Dear all,
After a very long wait, I'm happy to be able to announce the release of Census
2.0 beta 1 for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux! Windows and Mac binary installation
packages, as well as the source code, are available for immediate download at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/census2/.
Census 2 is a comprehensive project manager for NONMEM, providing detailed
summary, comparison and overview of the runs comprising a given project,
including the display of output data and post-run processing. The new version
is a complete rewrite of Census from the ground up, using free and open source
development tools (Lazarus and FPC - more information at
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org). In addition to adding cross-platform
support, Census 2 incorporates a number of interface changes, including
flexible run tagging and filtering, report output in HTML and LaTeX, a portable
database file format (Census databases are now single files, rather than
folders), full support for NONMEM 7.2 (including support for multiple
estimation steps), and too many others to mention.
It should be noted that Census 2 is a completely new application, and has few
links to Census 1.x (which has been put on development hiatus for the time
being, owing to time limitations). Also, Census 2 only supports versions of
NONMEM that produce XML output, which means that NONMEM V and VI are not
supported (and there are no plans to add support for them in the future). The
last release of Census 1.x contains a number of bugs - these will be fixed, but
probably not soon. If this is a problem (i.e. if you can't use Census 2 for
whatever reason), please let me know.
Census 2 is, and will remain, free software under the GNU Lesser General Public
License, version 3.0. Comments, criticisms, and suggestions are welcome. If you
would like to help with the development of Census 2, please contact me. Thanks
and appreciation to my colleagues at Exprimo for being my alpha testers!
Best regards
Justin Wilkins
