New release v1.2 of McStas

[Kristian Nielsen]

I am pleased to announce that McStas v1.2 has been released and may be
downloaded from the web site:

    http://neutron.risoe.dk/mcstas/

The main new features include a new graphical user interface called
mcgui as well as an extended component library including a general
single crystal sample, adaptive importance sampling neutron source,
resolution calculation sample, etc. See the CHANGES file in the
distribution for details on what is new in v1.2.

All McStas users are encouraged to upgrade to the new version. Users
that have installed one of the alpha/beta versions of McStas prior to
McStas version 1.2 are especially encouraged to upgrade as these
pre-releases contain known bugs that are fixed in version 1.2.

As usual, please report any problems so that they may be fixed in a
later version.

 - Kristian.
