Release version 4.2.0
We are proud to announce version 4.2.0 of Mantid.
THIS IS THE LAST RELEASE THAT WILL SUPPORT Python 2
From v4.3 onwards Mantid will no longer support Python 2 and scripts run in Mantid will have to change to reflect this. Time is Ticking!
NB. Mantid v4.3 will be released near the End of February 2020.
Interfaces, interfaces, interfaces! Hard to say but Easy to use!
One of the major changes for this release is the new Direct ALF View GUI for aligning samples on the ALF Instrument. There have also been serious developments in the IndirectInterfaces:
The Analysis and Bayes Interfaces have been introduced to Mantid Workbench and all interfaces will accept lists to plot multiple spectra.
Generally usability has been improved, such as the cleaner ISIS SANS Interface and the multiple improvements in Workbench. The Script Repository has even been added into workbench!
These are just a few 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.
Release version 4.1.0
We are proud to announce version 4.1.0 of Mantid.
OS Support Changes:
- Due to support ending for Windows 7 and 8 this is the last release to support Windows 7 or 8. Releases following this may continue to work for these releases, but will not have been verified or tested by the development team on anything earlier than Windows 10.
- This is the final release that will support Ubuntu 16.04.
- This is the final release that will support OSX Yosemite, OSX El Capitan and macOS Sierra.
We have made significant improvements to support within the Mantid workbench for a number of techniques, adding several technique specific user interfaces ported ver from Mantidplot. It also includes a fresh new implementation of the sliceviewer that merges in a lot of the popular functionality of the spectrum viewer into one capable tool. This version also introduces the new muon interface that is the result of a long effort to rebuild the interface using modern design and engineering standards, resulting in a much more stable, extensible interface, but also just so much better to use.

Release version 4.0.0
We are proud to announce version 4.0.0 of Mantid.
This release sees the introduction of a brand new graphical user interface, MantidWorkbench, which will eventually replace MantidPlot. The MantidWorkbench has been built from the ground up to allow more automated testing in an effort to vastly improve on the stability of MantidPlot. In addition it offers:
- matplotlib-based plotting: Matplotlib is the defacto-standard plotting package for the scientific community and one of its core goals is to produce publication-quality plots
- cleaner interface: MantidPlot had many toolbars, buttons and menus that would confuse new users. MantidWorkbench aims to have a simpler interface and removes many legacy tools that were unused from MantidPlot
- support for high-dpi displays: Based on Qt5, allowing for improved handling of high-resolution screens such as retina displays
Please see the full workbench release notes for more information along with the new documentation.

Release Version 3.13.0
We are proud to announce version 3.13.0 of Mantid.
This release includes a first implementation of Project Recovery for Mantidplot, Mantid maintains a recovery script while running, in the event of a crash or unexpected shutdown of Mantidplot Mantid will attempt to recover to it's most recent recovery checkpoint. This feature may not fully recover in all situations, but we will continue to improve it in future releases. There have also been some significant performance enhancements in the instrument view, improvements in error reporting, and the peaks view within the slice viewer now handles non-orthogonal axes.
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.

Release Version 3.12.0
We are proud to announce version 3.12.0 of Mantid.
We have included the Mantid Mslice interface with this release for the first time, this alternative to the Dave or matlab variants has been developed separately for some time, but has now been included with Mantid to make installation easier.
This version of Mantid will also go live across 6 instruments at the ILL with the startup in March.
We have also listened to your concerns about stability issues with previous releases during long experiments and have implemented error reporting into Mantidplot to capture information about crashes allowing us to quantify the problems and help track them down and resolve them.
