Hi All,

After fixing some issues found in the testing of RC 2 and 3, we've now got updated RC4 candidates available at:
http://ftp.eao.hawaii.edu/starlink/2017A/RC4

The major changes in Starlink are a fix to a missing makemap parameter used in pol2map, and a fix to a long path length issue that prevented pol2map from working on OSX. In addition, Perl is now being compiled with the '-g' flag. There is also a fix for a bug in SCUBA-2 ORAC-DR that prevented it from launching Gaia to view reduced maps.

Again, we would really appreciate it if anyone willing could download the appropriate build, test some of it out and let us know how it goes. I think we're probably aiming for a release on the 7th of August if there aren't any issues with this version.

Thanks,

Sarah

Hi All,

Its a few weeks later than planned, but we finally have Starlink 2017A release candidate builds for Linux and OSX. If there are no problems, we'd like to release this next week. This contains Starlink, ORAC-DR and the Starjava programs.

The (current) release notes are available at:
And the release candidates are at:
http://ftp.eao.hawaii.edu/starlink/2017A/RC2/

The most notable change for JCMT users will be the updated 'pol2map' program in SMURF for reducing POL-2 observations, and the new cookbook SC/22, also for POL-2 observations.

Installation instructions are unchanged from previous releases, and can be found at:
Thanks everyone,
