JAC do not want to be the next people to make an OSX Starlink release. Next time it's Starlink's job... :-) -- Tim Jenness JAC software http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/~timj ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 14:43:50 -1000 From: Brad Cavanagh <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] Subject: Starlink OS X Beta 2 release now available Hello, I would like to announce the availability of the second beta release for the Starlink Software Collection on OS X. Installation instructions and a download link can be found at http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/~bradc/starlink/install.html. Information about the Starlink Project can be found at http://www.starlink.ac.uk. This release does not offer much in the way of new functionality over the first release, but it uses shared libraries that will allow you to upgrade bits and pieces of the Starlink Software Collection without having to upgrade large chunks (for example, if a bug in the AST library is fixed, all you have to upgrade is your AST installation instead of everything that depends on it). This will allow you to quickly update software instead of having to wait for large-scale releases like this one. This release also comes with a simplified installation, using standard Apple Package technology to present an installation program that you're probably familiar with. It will still install into the /local-star directory, however. If you have any questions about or problems with installing the software, please feel free to contact me via email at [log in to unmask] Cheers, Brad Cavanagh.
