                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.

Summary of fixes in 4.2.1
=========================

   * General: running "make install" failed if executed immediately after
	the configure step; now fixed.
   * IRIX: fixed building of shared library by default on IRIX 6.5.
   * OSF1: 1) new configure option --non_shared prevents linking
	executables against shared libraries (including system libraries);
	2) "-D__V40_OBJ_COMPAT -nointrinsics -D" compiler flags removed for
	Tru64 V5.0.
   * Mapslicer configuration: fixed problem with configure looking for Tk
	library with the wrong file extension.

	s/r ccp4ccif_setup_context.
   * MAPLIB: five of the ENTRYs have been renames as they exceed 31
	characters in length.
   * PARSER: number of characters increased to prevent filename truncation
	when filenames are read from the keyworded input.
   * RWBROOK: fixed problem when spacegroup name is longer than space
	permitted in PDB file.
   * SYMLIB: increased the hashing parameter KPRI in CCP4_HASH_...
	routines to 5003, to cope with maximum number of batches in SCALA
	(5000).

   * General: Kill Job function updated to work under Mac-OSX and SunOS
   * General: fixed problems starting help pages from KDE on Linux

	a single output dataset.
   * Monomer Library Sketcher: 1) fixed problem with "unknown option
