Crystal structure refinement with SHELXL

TLDR
New features added to the refinement program SHELXL since 2008 are described and explained.Abstract:
The improvements in the crystal structure refinement program SHELXL have been closely coupled with the development and increasing importance of the CIF (Crystallographic Information Framework) format for validating and archiving crystal structures. An important simplification is that now only one file in CIF format (for convenience, referred to simply as `a CIF') containing embedded reflection data and SHELXL instructions is needed for a complete structure archive; the program SHREDCIF can be used to extract the .hkl and .ins files required for further refinement with SHELXL. Recent developments in SHELXL facilitate refinement against neutron diffraction data, the treatment of H atoms, the determination of absolute structure, the input of partial structure factors and the refinement of twinned and disordered structures. SHELXL is available free to academics for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems, and is particularly suitable for multiple-core processors.read more

PLATON SQUEEZE: a tool for the calculation of the disordered solvent contribution to the calculated structure factors
TL;DR: The SQUEEZE method is documents as an alternative means of addressing the solvent disorder issue and conveniently interfaces with the 2014 version of the least-squares refinement program SHELXL, and many twinned structures containing disordered solvents are now also treatable by SQUEEze.
