Hello,
We are proud to announce version 6.4.0 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>.
Packaging & Installation
As advertised in v6.3.0 we have reworked our installer packages for this release. Changes
include:
- Windows and macOS packages are now named MantidWorkbench-6.4.0 with the appropriate
extension. Other than this they are used in the same manner.
- A new linux tarball ,``mantidworkbench-6.4.0.tar.xz``, now supports many Linux
distributions and should work on any 2010+ distribution. This can simply be unpacked with
`tar xJf mantidworkbench-6.4.0.tar.xz ` and can reside anywhere without requiring root
privileges.
Last Release of .rpm and .deb
This release will be the last time we provide an .rpm for Red Hat and a .deb for Ubuntu.
The new Linux tarball provided above 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.
Please take a look at the release
notes<https://docs.mantidproject.org/v6.4.0/release/v6.4.0/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>.
