We are proud to announce version 6.2.0 of Mantid.

This release sees many new algorithms added or improved to extend the functionality of Mantid for users. In addition to this there are some significant new features including:-

  • Superplot, a new widget that facilitates over-plotting and data comparison for a large number of workspaces.

  • The ablity to plot CSGObjects as Sample shapes and merge shapes for greater complexity.

  • In MSlice you can now enable powder (Bragg) peaks on cut plots.

  • Maxent Dual Plotting for Frequency Domain Analysis allowing raw and reconstructed data to be plotted together along with the frequency domain data.

  • A new widget and workspace plugin, the Workspace Calculator. This allows users to quickly perform binary operations on selected workspace pairs, optionally with scaling.

These are just some of the many improvements in this release, so please take a look at the release notes, which are filled with details of the important changes and improvements in many areas. The development team has put a great effort into making all of these improvements within Mantid, and we would like to thank all of our beta testers for their time and effort helping us to make this another reliable version of Mantid.
