CCP4 4.2.1 Now Available
========================
The Daresbury ftp server has been updated to patch release 4.2.1:
ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/pub/ccp4/4.2.1/
Relative to 4.2, this release contains fixes to problems discovered in
4.2, including those reported on the CCP4 Problems Pages (see the list
below, and the relevant section of the CHANGES file).
There is no significant new functionality, so if you have successfully
installed 4.2 and none of the reported problems or changes are relevant to
you, then you may decide not to update.
For those who do, updates are available as:
1. A completely updated source code package (packed/ccp4-4.2.1.tar.gz),
and unpacked version (in the "unpacked" directory)
2. A global patch file (patches/ccp4-4.2-4.2.1.diff),
3. Updated binaries (in the "binaries" directory) for IRIX (n32-bit,
built under IRIX64 6.5), OSF1 (standard and "non-shared" versions,
built under Digital Unix V4.0), Linux (built under RedHat 7.3)
and SunOS (built under SunOS 5.8).
Mac OS-X and Windows binaries will follow soon and will be announced
separately.
For information on installing from scratch, see the existing installation
document. For information on upgrading an existing 4.2 installation using
the patch and/or binaries, see the updated installation document
ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/pub/ccp4/4.2.1/unpacked/INSTALL.html.
