[POTKU] Potku Windows 2019 version affected with the isotope efficiency bug

[Laitinen, Mikko]

Dear Potku users,

It seems like the potku 05/2019 windows version(not MacOS, it seems), is affected a bug where efficiency correction does not work, if there's more than one isotope in the slab analysis depth profile.

This feature has somehow reappeared as it seems to work well in the 18.12.2019 version (windows also). Also the Mac version of the 2019 seems to work.

the bug appears as when you have for example 1H and 2H efficiency files, and do depth profile analysis for both H1 and H2-> then _at least_ the latter isotope selected(of the cut file) will not get it's efficiency file correctly->concentrations are calculated wrong. For single isotope, or elements,  there's no problems.

What is good news from the Potku development side is that we will put/have acquired resources to the development from the beginning of the 2020 (IT student with 5+ years of python coding) AND we also have applied a bigger student software project (~1000+ hours of student coders work) for further development ( and minor bug corrections also done). So expect new versions before the spring(?) and something bigger(?!) during the summer..

If you have found "features" or other peculiarities or have suggestions which are not yet on the TODO list, please tell us.
The "TODO" list with known/suspected bugs and updates that should be done are more or less here:

Have a great new year and happy holiday season for everyone!

    Mikko.
