../../_images/indexCollage.png

We are proud to announce version 6.7.0 of Mantid.

This release includes a wide array of updates, bugfixes, and new features. Notably there have been major changes to the code underlying event filtering: logs no longer have fake values to mimic the filtering/splitting and issues with the integrated proton charge have been fixed. More details can be found in Framework release notes.

In addition to many improvements we would like to highlight the following:

  • Further refinements have been made to the ALFView interface, new in v6.6.0.

  • The peak overlay feature in the Instrument Viewer now works in the side-by-side view and there is more flexibility to define how detector banks are arranged in side-by-side view.

  • Major changes have been made to the treatment of temperature in the algorithms Abins and Abins2D (for more details see supporting documentation)

  • File browser performance issues on GTK-based linux environments has been fixed.

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.

Throughout the Mantid project we put a lot of effort into ensuring Mantid is a robust and reliable product. Thank you to everyone that has reported any issues to us. Please keep on reporting any problems you have, or crashes that occur on our forum.
