What's New

MMC v2024.2 (2.2.0) adds the below key features

• support saving photon trajectories (-D M or cfg.debuglevel='M')
• allow to use a single JSON input file to store mesh node, element and iMMC ROI data, along with other simulation settings
• compute element face-neighbours (facenb) and volumes (evol) in C code, avoid needing preprocessing
• support built-in benchmarks, use --bench to list and --bench name to run
• accept pattern data in the JSON input file
• store pattern pixel index for each photon in photon sharing
• provide native Apple M1 binaries

Aside from these added new features, we have also fixed a number of bugs. All
MATLAB scripts have been automatically formatted using miss_hit. The binary JSON
library was also updated to the latest version.
