March 2025 — hael/SIMPLE focused on strengthening core particle detection, stabilizing tests, and improving cross‑platform reliability. Core Finder enhancements calibrate the radius threshold against pairwise distances and switch to a center‑of‑mass based method to identify the closest nanoparticle center. Introduced a new radius_threshold variable and updated neighborhood search accordingly. Fixed test suite division‑by‑zero by ensuring the divisor is a positive atom count, preventing crashes and ensuring accurate calculations in tests. Addressed Apple platform compilation by correcting the FreeBSD compatibility macro definition to ensure proper compilation. Deliveries improved core-finder accuracy, test stability, and multi‑platform build reliability, enabling scalable nanoparticle analysis.
