10.18:
This release contains a fix for the floating point
exception on NetBSD-2.0/alpha.
10.17:
This release corrects the formatting of the man page and
restores the correct alpha-linolenic acid reference
value, which was too low in the last release.
10.16:
This release fixes a segfault that occurs when analyzing
added and subtracted foods that total zero calories.
10.15:
This release completes the changing of all calculations
to substitute user averages for program constants in the
values of calories per gram of carb, fat, and protein,
and of the percentage of total fat that is fatty acids.
This means that personal options in terms of percentages
and ratios will be more precise.
10.1:
This release adds a fix for zero values that display as no data.
10.0:
This release updates the USDA Nutrient Database to version SR17, and allows
current NUT installations to have their existing meal records reinterpreted
with the new database.
9.20:
This release optimizes the new code of the last release, the focus of which
was distinguishing no data from zero in the USDA database.
9.19:
The program now distinguishes between zero values and no data in the USDA
database, and uses this information to produce a new screen that lists foods
high in some nutrient while minimizing some other nutrient.
9.18:
This release contains revisions to the polyunsaturated fatty acid reference
values and how they scale up as fats increase and carbs decrease.
9.17:
This release provides what may be more reasonable or optimal default settings
for fat percentages when the user sets the program for low carb.
9.16:
This release contains bugfixes for a segmentation fault which occurred when
entering a control-D and a monounsaturated fat reference value that was too
high.
9.15:
This release makes serving sizes more consistent among food groups. It adds
functions to change the default serving size, and to sort foods by nutrients
per serving.
9.14:
This release adds support for an optional database subdirectory, allowing the
user to easily maintain multiple databases, for multiple family members, for
instance. It also adds display of non-fiber carbohydrate grams ("net carbs")
on the main analysis screen.
9.13:
The program now allows commercial foods that have a nutrition label and an
ordered ingredients statement to be added to the food database. An
approximation to a food's recipe is found that best fits the criteria and the
recipe is analyzed to provide information about the additional nutrients not
stated on the nutrition label.
9.12:
[unknown]
New in 9.11:
Because the program uses the approximation of 4 calories per gram
for carbohydrate and protein to analyze meals according to the
"Daily Value" -- although real food has various values for calories
per gram -- the program now refigures fat percentage values at each
analysis so that when calories, carbs, and protein are each at
exactly 100%, fat will be also.
New in 9.10:
This release fixes a buffer overflow in the food selection function
which caused the program to not find certain foods even though they
existed in the database.
New in 9.9:
A bug has been fixed in which during food selection, the program
lost the value of the food name key. Also, some of the program's
reference values for the essential fatty acids have been modified.
New in 9.8:
The program now defaults to either grams or ounces, depending on
the weight unit the user enters to specify servings. A bug in
handling customary meal names that are too long has been fixed.
New in 9.7:
The program computes essential fatty acid reference values based
on the user's diet. Prior releases aimed toward a particular balance
of Omega-6 and Omega-3. This release allows the user to specify
the balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 without having to determine
the amount of the individual fatty acids.
New in 9.6:
The program is now capable of understanding food names in simple
English, such as "fried chicken" and "mashed potatoes." This is
accomplished by including the list of abbreviations the USDA uses
and by successively searching for each tokenized term, whatever
the order in the USDA name.
Changes: This release introduces the new USDA Nutrient Database,
SR16, which has 6,661 foods and 125 nutrients, and includes an
automatic conversion feature so that NUT 8.x installations can
preserve existing meal records and have them interpreted with the
latest USDA database.
