The following data sets were used for the LISE database:
1. THE 1995 ATOMIC MASS EVALUATION by G. Audi and A. H. Wapstra
S_1n, S_2n, S_1p, S_2p, Q_α, β-decay, mass excess (recommended values)

The optical parameters are entered as transport matrices. Phase space and the average momentum of the input beam were added to the calculations. /See the help for the dialog "Optic"/

The new D6 dialog allows calculation of the platform rotation angle and the magnetic field of dipole D6. /See the help for the dialog "D6"/

All dialogs include a "Help" button with the corresponding reference in the HLP file

Calculation results for a selected isotope can be displayed in a new window by right-clicking on a nucleus in the table of nuclides

The program can be executed from the command line with parameters. Clicking on a LISE data file loads it into the LISE program. Before doing this, choose in Explorer: Options → File Types; then assign the LISE program to the extension *.LIZ to open LISE data files. Beginning with this version, the results file is saved in the same directory as its parent data file.

The following items were corrected:

Reading of the BMP file of the LISE spectrometer

Printing of bidimensional plots: the number of counts per second for a given isotope in logarithmic scale is shown to the right of the element name

The optimal plot for the "charge state" option

Display of slit width and momentum acceptance in the "Setup" window
