Dear all, Census 2.01 has been released for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux! Windows and Mac binary installation packages, as well as the source code, are available for immediate download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/census2/, as usual, and limited documentation is provided at http://census2.sourceforge.net (although this site appears to be quite slow at the moment).
This version adds minor bug fixes to version 2.0, which added basic PsN support, run record export (HTML, CSV and LaTeX) and parameter tables (HTML and LaTeX), and corrected bugs in $OMEGA and $SIGMA initial estimates, zipped run archive preparation, mixture model interpretation, and errors in parameter label import. Census 2 is a comprehensive project manager for NONMEM 7.2 and above, providing detailed summary, comparison and overview of the runs comprising a given project, including the display of output data and post-run processing. The new version is a complete rewrite of Census from the ground up, using free and open source development tools (Lazarus and FPC - more information at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org). In addition to adding cross-platform support, Census 2 incorporates a number of interface changes, including flexible run tagging and filtering, report output in HTML and LaTeX, a portable database file format (Census databases are now single files, rather than folders), full support for NONMEM 7.2 (including support for multiple estimation steps), and too many others to mention. It should be noted that Census 2 is a completely new application, and has few links to Census 1.x (which has been put on development hiatus for the time being, owing to time limitations). Also, Census 2 only supports versions of NONMEM that produce XML output, which means that NONMEM V, VI and earlier version of 7.x are not supported (although this may change in the future - please let me know if this is a feature you need). Census 2 is, and will remain, free software under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3.0. Comments, criticisms, and suggestions are welcome. If you would like to help with the development of Census 2, please contact me. Thanks and appreciation to my colleagues at Exprimo for beta testing!
