Important
Release Information
|
|
Please note that FRAGSTATS is in a
constant state of development. Thus, we anticipate frequent releases
as new features are implemented. Although we have done considerable
testing of this version, it is highly likely that users will discover
bugs that arise under specific conditions that we did not
test (please report all bugs immediately to Dr. Kevin McGarigal,
mcgarigalk@forwild.umass.edu).Therefore,
we anticipate frequent patches to correct bugs and periodic
revisions as we implement more of the anticipated changes (e.g.,
as we add new metrics). Patches to correct for bugs will
be released with the same version number (e.g., 3.1), but will be
assigned a unique "build" number, beginning with build
#1. If you are not sure what build number you have, it is listed
in the "About FRAGSTATS" description available from the
Help Menu after openning the FRAGSTATS executable. The latest build
will be available from the download link below and the changes associated
with each build will be described in the release
notes. Substantial changes to the software, primarily associated
with the addition of new features (e.g., new metrics), will be released
as a new version number. Again, all changes associated with each
release will be documented in the release
notes. Thus, it is important to check the release notes before
downloading a new version.
NOTE, all new releases of the software,
including all patches, will be announced via the FRAGSTATS list
serve. If you want to be alerted to these postings, then you
should join the list serve. To
join, simply send an email to the following address requesting that
you be added to the list: fragstats-request@forwild.umass.edu.
Otherwise, it is up to you to check
in periodically to see what has changed.
Finally, in this release, a number
of the new metrics descrirbed in the FRAGSTATS
Metrics documentation and listed in the dialog boxes are not
yet functional. These metrics have been deactivated in the dialog
boxes so it is impossible to select them. All of these options are
in the works and will be activated as soon as we have thoroughly
tested them. Also, all of the FRAGSTATS documentation is viewable
as HTML files from the documentation
web page. All of this information is available via the on-line Help
function in the FRAGSTATS software.

| IMPORTANT for ESRI Arc Grid Users!!!!!!!!!:
If you intend on using Arc Gris, you must have a PATH variable in your environmental
settings that points to the avgridio.dll file that comes with the
Spatial Analyst Extension OR the aigridio.dll file that comes with
ArcGIS. This file is typically found in the Arcview bin32 folder (for Spatial
Analyst users) or the ArcGIS or Arcexe## bin folder (for ArcGIS users).
This allows you to install and run FRAGSTATS from any directory on your
hard disk. Alternatively, you can run FRAGSTATS from the folder containing
the required .dll file, but this is not advisable. Detailed instructions
for changing your environmental settings are given in the User
Guidelines--Data Formats. |
