Version v4.0

Welcome to the first official release of iolite v4. This latest iteration of iolite is the culmination of almost three years of development and planning, creating a brand new application built for speed, power and flexibility from the ground up for LA-ICP-MS using C++ and python. It has a modern, easy to use, interface with a clearly set out workflow so that you can find what you're looking for when you need it.

We have improved the ease of getting data into and out of iolite, including the ability to copy and paste to and from other applications (such as Excel). You can also save channel data, results and much more as csv and Excel files with the click of your mouse.

iolite v4 is easy to learn, especially if you have used previous versions of iolite, where the system of selections, splines and DRS make processing your data fast, flexible and most importantly precise, using the most up to date statistical approaches for laser ablation ICP-MS.

And just like iolite v3, you can create your own DRS, standards etc, and share these with your collaborators, or with the iolite Community in general. iolite v4 will include the ability to interact with your data using Python v3, so you can write your own QAQC script, or customise your exports (or even create a standard export pdf to share with your customers). The full functionality of python will be released in the coming months with a description of the API being made available at that time.

We are very excited about the release of this new approach to processing LA-ICP-MS data, and look forward to hearing how you enjoy it.
