Made some enhancements to make particle binning more efficient for problems where the natural diffusion length scale is different than the reaction length scale. Before ChemCell used one bin size for finding geometry during particle moves and for finding reaction partners during chemistry. Now the bin command lets you specify separate length scales leading to two different sets of bins. This can make a spatial simulation dramatically faster, if, for example, you can use smaller reaction bins than geometry bins.

This is the list of changed files from the 19 Sept 2008 version.

Thanks to Steve Andrews (TMSI) for providing a problem that illustrated this issue.

Fixed some incorrect filenames generated by the variable command which would affect using universe-style variables.

Fixed some broken links in doc pages. This is really a test of the scripts I use to generate an updated tarball and the list of patched files.
