We are proud to announce version 6.4.0 of Mantid.

Many of the updates in this version have focused on improvements for users, building on existing algorithms and interfaces. Our method of packaging has also changed. Windows and macOS users should not notice any difference, but this will be the last release where we provide .rpm and .deb packages for Linux.

In addition to many improvements we are delighted to announce some new features including:

  • A new cut viewer tool for non-axis aligned cuts has been added to the slice viewer.
  • Workbench and MSlice are now compatible with matplotlib v3.5.
  • In the ISIS Reflectometry interface, defaults can now be set according to both the angle and the sample title.
  • Fit functions have been extended to allow for the addition of function attribute validators.
  • The ISIS SANS TOML format has been upgraded to V1. All V1 files will continue to be supported in future versions without changes.
  • An inelastic version of the discus multiple scattering correction algorithm has been implemented. This allows the multiple scattering effect to be simulated using a Monte Carlo integration for an arbitrary sample shape given an S(Q,w). The calculation can be run for a direct or indirect geometry instrument.

These are just some of the many improvements in this release, so please take a
look at the release notes, which are filled with details of the
important changes and improvements in many areas. The development team
has put a great effort into making all of these improvements within
Mantid, and we would like to thank all of our beta testers for their
time and effort helping us to make this another reliable version of Mantid.

Throughout the Mantid project we put a lot of effort into ensuring
Mantid is a robust and reliable product. Thank you to everyone that has
reported any issues to us. Please keep on reporting any problems you
have, or crashes that occur on our forum

Installation packages can be found on our download page
which now links to sourceforge to mirror our download files around the world.
