- The rpn_load command was added, which helps in multi-stage optimization by allowing
loading and selection of data from SDDS files into the RPN variables that can be used in
optimization expressions.
- The optimization_setup command now allows specifying that the random number generator
shall be reset to the user-specified seed at the start of every function evaluation. In addition, initial
values of variable and covariable parameters are now available in RPN variables for use in expressions.
- The load_parameters commands now limits the number of warnings about missing parameters
to 100, after which warnings are suppressed.
- The momentum_aperture command now supports fiducialization of the beamline momentum profile
before determining the momentum aperture. This is useful when there is acceleration or energy loss
due to radiation.
