Error on Mantid Startup
by Gigg, Martyn (STFC,RAL,ISIS)
Hello,
This is just a brief notice regarding warnings that users have started seeing on starting Mantid (any version):
Welcome to Mantid 5.1.0
Please cite: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2014.07.029 and this release: http://dx.doi.org/10.5286/Software/Mantid5.1

Error in execution of algorithm DownloadInstrument:
Unable to parse server JSON file "C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\mantidproject\mantid\instrument\github.json"
We’re aware of this error and are working on a fix for the upcoming release (6.0). The error will not affect the normal operation of the current (5.1.1) & previous versions of Mantid but it will mean that instrument definitions will no longer be automatically updated on the current (5.1.1) and older versions.
Please contact the team on mantid-help(a)mantidproject.org<mailto:mantid-help@mantidproject.org> if this might cause issues for you.
Regards,
Mantid Team
