Hello,
We are proud to announce version 6.5.0 of Mantid is now available. Installation packages
can be found on our download
page<https://download.mantidproject.org/>g/>. You can also
access the source code on the GitHub release
page<https://github.com/mantidproject/mantid/releases/tag/v6.4.0>.0>. Please take a
look at the release
notes<https://docs.mantidproject.org/v6.5.0/release/v6.5.0/index.html>ml>, which are
filled with details of all of the changes and improvements in many other areas. The
development team has put a great effort into making all of these improvements and we would
like to thank all of our beta testers for their time and effort helping us to make this
another reliable version. Thank you to everyone that has reported any issues to us and
please keep on reporting any problems you have on our
forum<https://forum.mantidproject.org/> or by email on
mantid-help@mantidproject.org<http://mantid-help@mantidproject.org>.
.rpm and .deb no longer available
This and future releases will no longer provide an .rpm for Red Hat and a .deb for Ubuntu.
The new Linux tarball provided will work on both of these systems and has the advantage of
not being tied to ancient system libraries that have held up internal updates. The new
tarball can also be extracted and run anywhere, so does not require root permissions to
install.
Installation on IDAaaS at ISIS: Along with the IDAaaS team we have made some changes so
that the latest version will be installed alongside the previous version so that the
version will no longer be pinned and the most recent and previous version will be
available simultaneously.
New Landing Page (
www.mantidproject.org)
We have also taken this opportunity to publish a new front page for
mantidproject.org<https://mantidproject.org/>g/>. This new page replaces the ancient
wiki pages where any relevant content has been migrated to
docs.mantidproject.org<https://docs.mantidproject.org/> to be versioned with the
code. We have captured a snapshot of the old pages and these are available at
archive.mantidproject.org<https://archive.mantidproject.org/> should they be
required. If you notice any content that you find in the archive pages that should be in
docs then please let us know.
Kind regards,
Mantid Development Team
