Hello,
At the end of last week I changed the stable release for the Format
Converter and for Analysis from being 2.1.5 to 2.2.2.
Updating Analysis from inside Analysis will not work because of our web
server changing names recently, so you will have to go to the website if
you want to download:
http://www.ccpn.ac.uk/downloads/stable
So far there are pre-compiled releases for 64-bit Linux, OSX >= 10.6
(although I haven't tried running it on 10.7 but I assume/hope it will run
there) and for Windows.
There have been a few tweaks since I first put the releases on the
website.
For Windows, it turns out we were using some third party Python library
called win32api to determine the drives on the computer, and this caused
at least one person some problem (we could see from a bug report) so I
have changed the code to use some arcane Python standard library way of
doing the same thing (unbelievably there is not just a simple call to do
this).
For Linux, it turned out that Fedora 12 (and quite possibly other Fedora
versions) was looking for the Tk library using the wrong file name (who
knows why) so I've added in a symbolic link (to the correct file name) to
keep Fedora happy.
On the ChemBuild front, the first "official" release of that is now at:
http://www.ccpn.ac.uk/downloads/leadingedge
This (so far) does not include any of the third party software you need
(Python, Qt, PySide) so that should be installed with package managers.
On a technical note, it turns out that the way our new website works, you
don't always get the current state of the webpage even if you hit the
Reload button in your browser. This is just a cache problem. It turns
out there is a more serious reload option which in theory does do a
reload:
Chrome: Shift+Reload or Shift+F5
Firefox: Shift+Reload or Ctrl+Shift+R (Shift+F5 does nothing)
MSIE 8: Ctrl+Reload or Ctrl+F5 (Shift+Reload/Shift+F5 does nothing)
(I'm not sure about Safari.) If you have a Mac keyboard you might need to
substitue Cmd for Ctrl. Anyway, the bottom line is if I mention that such
and such is on our website, you might not see it unless you do the above.
(I'm told by the sysadmins for the web server that it can take half an
hour for the cache to sort itself out, but I think it was longer than that
at least once that I remember.)
