Improved lamp suggestions in new EulumdatTools release 0.10.1.v20140123

A new version of EulumdatTools 0.10.1.v20140123 was published on January 23 at http://www.fold1.com/eulumdattools/. Improvements and bug fixes for 0.10.1.v20140123 are as follows:

• Fixed a serious problem with conversion of EULUMDAT files with C90-C270 symmetry to IES format. This format is mostly used for public lighting so should affect limited users.
• Improved suggestion proposals for lamp designations lamp in the content assist.
• General improvements in code structure and test coverage, preparing for release 1.0.0.
• The version number was updated to 0.10.1 already on January 6.

Differences in IES format 1995 and before versus 2001 and later

IES files contain 3 number for luminaire luminous length, width and height. By changing sign or setting to zero more shapes than rectangular can be described. In the standard for IES files for 2001 and later the definitions changed. Below is a comparison.

Differences between 1995 and before and 2001 and later IES files.
