* \[SIMULATE] Simulation algorithm improved.
* Minor improvements.

</details>

<details>

<summary>v1.0.9 (Mar 16, 2026)</summary>

</details>

<details>

<summary>v1.0.8 (Mar 15, 2026)</summary>

* \[SIMULATE - Focusing] Focusing efficiency computation algorithm improved. Simulation ranges of I<sub>xy</sub> and I<sub>y</sub> are adjusted to be equal.&#x20;
* \[New Feature] \[SIMULATE - Focusing] Distortion can be used to help locate the focal spot at the center of the simulation domain in case of off-normal incidence.
* \[ANALYZE - Focusing] Focusing efficiency calculation is allowed when FWHM displayed is 'N/A' if custom focal area size is used. Some other minor improvements.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>v1.0.7 (Mar 3, 2026)</summary>

* In focusing simulation of SOI lenses, the circular aperture is only applied to the unit cell layer, not to the substrate.

</details>

<details>

<summary>v1.0.6 (Mar 2, 2026)</summary>

* \[New Feature] \[SIMULATE - Focusing] Defocus.
* \[New Feature] \[ANALYZE - Focusing] Users can now specify the size of focal area when calculating focusing efficiency.
* After focusing simulation of SOI lenses, the intensity incident on the substrate and the intensity incident on the unit cell layer are exported into separate image files (.png). In previous versions, the exported intensity images were the intensity incident on the unit cell layer.
* Minor improvements
