Dear all,
We are proud to announce version 6.14.0 of Mantid. Installation packages can be found on
our download
page<https://download.mantidproject.org/> along with updated
instructions for installing the latest release via Conda. You can also access the source
code on the GitHub release
page<https://github.com/mantidproject/mantid/releases/tag/v6.14.0>.0>.
These are the highlights for this release:
*
This is the final release of Mantid to include a package built for Intel Macs. There will
continue to be packages built for Apple Silicon (M series processors).
*
The mslice package is now an optional dependency of mantidworkbench. To install it
alongside mantidworkbench run mamba install -c mantidworkbench mslice . Full/standalone
installers and IDAaaS remain unchanged; mslice will be automatically provided there.
*
An experimental version of the new Instrument View has been made available. To access
this, right-click on a workspace in the ADS in Workbench, then click (Experimental) Show
Instrument . This feature is still at an early stage of development with further
functionality being added over the v6.15 development period.
*
The final pieces of work to support the polarised SANS technique at ISIS have been
included in this release. See the SANS release
notes<https://docs.mantidproject.org/nightly/release/v6.14.0/sans.html&g… for more
details.
*
In the
SliceViewer<https://docs.mantidproject.org/nightly/workbench/sliceviewer…ml>, a
masking feature for Matrix Workspaces with a non-numeric y-axis has been added.
*
Texture Analysis can now be performed using the logic included in
Engineering.texture.TextureUtils and a collection of scripts that can be found in
diffraction/ENGINX/Texture within the mantid script
repository<https://docs.mantidproject.org/nightly/workbench/scriptreposi…
.
*
A collection of improvements to AlignAndFocusPowderSlim. See the Diffraction release
notes<https://docs.mantidproject.org/nightly/release/v6.14.0/diffraction… for
more details.
These are just some of the many improvements in this release. Please take a look at the
release notes, which are filled with details of the important changes and improvements in
many areas.
The development team has put a great effort into making all of these improvements and we
