Version 5.1.7 build 4 (Windows 64 bit)

---

Version 5.1.7b4:

Build 4: increased memory max allocated for combinations to check

---

Version 5.1.7b3:

Build 3: fix in ViewMeta and fix in MakeProtectedFile (not all suppression options were available)

---

Version 5.1.7:

The main addition is to allow for multiple similarity profiles in Targeted Record Swapping (TRS).
Additionally, TRS is now disabled when no household identifier is present.
Some GUI and some report improvements, mainly w.r.t. TRS.

The manual is not yet updated.

NB: Binaries-zip-file contains complete installation of mu-argus, including additional libraries and executables.
NB: Sources-files contain only sources from mu-argus repository.

Windows 64 bit 5.1.6 build 2

This is a small update on build 1. Build 1 did not properly save the report file in all cases. This is now fixed.
Additionally, the "undo" of TRS is improved.

---

Version 5.1.6:
This release contains the Targeted Record Swapping (TRS) approach (version 0.4.0).
This release contains a 64 bit compiled Windows executable of mu-argus.
Advantage: TRS can deal with larger datasets.
The GUI for TRS is still a bit under development though.

Some new features related to TRS:

• k-anonymity for TRS now satisfies generally accepted definition (>=k is safe)
• Some additional information on the TRS process is included in the report file (swapped household, swapped records, non-swapped households)
• GUI will show number of swapped households and give warning when for some households no donor could be found
• A log-file is created that contains the IDs of the households for which no donor record could be found, based on the similarity variables

The manual is not yet updated.
For using TRS, see the QuickReference.

Open source version of Java is now included (Zulu).

NB: Binaries-zip-file contains complete installation of mu-argus, including additional libraries and executables.
NB: Sources-files contain only sources from mu-argus repository.

Windows 32bit 5.1.5 BETA

PROTOTYPE VERSION FOR TESTING

NOT FOR PRODUCTION PURPOSES

First attempt to add "carry-along" variables to TRS.

Windows 32 bit, JRE bundled, 5.1.4 BETA build 4 release

PROTOTYPE VERSION FOR CENSUS TESTS

NOT FOR PRODUCTION PURPOSES

Bug fix.

Windows 32 bit version of mu-argus containing prototype of Targeted Record Swapping method.

See QuickReferenceTRS5.1.4.pdf for more information.

Windows 32 bit, JRE bundled, 5.1.4 BETA release

PROTOTYPE VERSION FOR CENSUS TESTS

NOT FOR PRODUCTION PURPOSES

Windows 32 bit version of mu-argus containing prototype of Targeted Record Swapping method.

See QuickReferenceTRS5.1.4.pdf for more information.

Windows 32bit version 5.1.3 build 3

This release contains the new functionality of applying "k-anonymity based suppression".
Mu-argus uses sdcMico R-code for this.

A Java runtime is bundled, so it will automatically use the correct Java version.

Note:

• Correct installation of R is needed (the R bin directory needs to be in the PATH environment variable of Windows)
• Correct installation of R-packages sdcMicro and dplyr is needed (you can find those packages on CRAN)

NB: Binaries-zip-file contains complete installation of mu-argus, including additional libraries and executables.
NB: Sources-files contain only sources from mu-argus repository.

Test release Windows 32 bit, bundled version 5.1.3

This test release contains the new functionality of applying "k-anonymity based suppression".
Mu-argus uses sdcMico R-code for this.

Note:

• Test version!
• Manual is not yet updated
• Correct installation of R is needed (the R bin directory needs to be in the PATH environment variable of Windows)
• Correct installation of R-packages sdcMicro and dplyr is needed (you can find those packages on CRAN)
• Still a test version!

Version 5.1.1 Windows 32 bit (from CASC website)

23-11-2015
Binaries for 32 bit Windows version.
See Release notes for installation instructions and further information:
ReleaseNoteMu5.1.1.pdf

NB: Binaries-zip-file contains complete installation of mu-argus, including additional libraries and executables.
NB: Sources-files contain only sources from mu-argus repository.

Added hybridIPSO.zip for synthetic data generation using R. This included version is to be used with R 3.x.x. You need to install it as an R-package (from within R). It uses the CRAN packages corpcor and som (that you need to install as well).
