1.2.0, March 22, 2006

The program is now distributed as a single jar-file to facilitate installation. Before installing the new version, you should delete all of the following files and folders of older versions (note that not all of these may have been present in all older versions, so please check carefully whether these indeed belong to your version of RandomJ or to some other package):
```
   ImageJ
     |- RJOptions.dat        (file)
     |- plugins
           |- Basics         (folder)
           |- BasicsJ        (folder)
           |- RandomJ        (folder)
           |- imagescience   (folder)
```
The Dialogs are now all based on ImageJ's GenericDialog. As a consequence, they can no longer be left open all the time. In order to still have quick access to the different plugins, a panel has been added which will stay open until the user closes it explicitly.
The interface of some dialogs has changed (see the online manual for details). This may require revision of some macros. Also note that all plugins are now fully macroable and that previous synchronization problems should have been solved.
The package is now fully 5D compatible. If Image5D is installed, result images with a size larger than 1 in the t- or ch-dimension are displayed in an Image5D window. If it is not installed, result images are displayed as usual.
Options are no longer stored in a separate file (RJOptions.dat) but in ImageJ's preferences file (IJ_Prefs.txt).
The mean parameter in the Poisson plugin is now allowed to be zero.

1.1.2, August 23, 2004

Moved some basic methods to the utilities package.
Fixed a bug in the modulatory insertion routine that caused random numbers to be multiplied with their mean values.

1.1.1, August 12, 2004

The Poisson generator now also allows modulatory insertion.

1.1.0, October 22, 2003

All plugin classes of the package are now macroable.

1.0.0, October 8, 2003

First release. The package is based on a new version of the Basics package, which has been split into two packages: images and utilities. Note that TransformJ and FeatureJ have been adapted accordingly. If you have TransformJ version 2.3.1 or FeatureJ version 1.0.1 or earlier installed on your system, the best thing to do to avoid conflicts is to first remove all directories related to these packages and then install the latest versions.
