[mcstas-users] McStas 2.3 questions

[Ehlers, Georg]

I have installed McStas 2.3 on my desktop computer (Mac OSX 10.11.6).
I have also browsed the two manuals provided, mcstas-2.3-manual.pdf and mcstas-2.3-components.pdf.

Now I am wondering: The McStas homepage says that version 2.3 supports the mcpl binary event file format by Thomas Kittelmann (ESS). Where can I find more information? How would I use it? Where is the file format described? The manuals don’t say anything about that. 

Also, on page 18 (section “New features in McStas 2.3) the manual refers to the CHANGES document in “the relevant download folder at http://download.mcstas.org/”. I do not see such a document anywhere. Am I just not looking in the right place?

Thank you
Georg
