Mantid 3.5.1 Release Notes#

Note

These release notes were migrated from the retired Mantid wiki (archive.mantidproject.org).

Key Features#

This is a patch release to Mantid that corrects some significant issues since the last full release.

The main changes are:

Bugfix for filtering events
Instrument update url was incorrect.
instrument directory in the install is read only. All user instrument cache files (downloaded IDF and vtp) will be in the user’s data directory.
mantidpython will revert to running python if --classic flag is supplied. This allows for returning non-zero signals on error.
Logging writes console to stdout rather than stdlog.
