[mcstas-users] Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, McStas 2.1 under way

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Hi all,

First of all a merry Christmas and a Happy  New Year to all McStas users!

The McStas team had hoped to have a new release ready before the Christmas break, but a few important things are still missing.

We now aim for release of McStas 2.1 in January 2014, with these important additions:

  1.  Updated ESS source module with implementation of the proposed “pancake” design (which is currently under evaluation as an option for ESS)
  2.  Easier-to-install packages for Mac OS X and Windows systems
  3.  An overhauled user manual and a revised component manual
  4.  New contributed components and instruments – Please send your potential contributions soon!
  5.  Final dismissal of the use of STATE and POLARISATION parameters
  6.  Revised implementation of the output routines with functional NeXus event-list support
  7.  Patched MPI event list implementation (2.0 and earlier releases would hang in case of an empty single-node event list)
  8.  Auto-generation of Mantid IDF xml files via Perl mcdisplay

All the best on behalf of the McStas team,

Peter Willendrup
