AIPS++ is currently in a six-month release cycle. The fifth public
release of the package (version 1.6) was made at the AAS meeting in
Washington D.C. on 6 January 2002. AIPS++ is available on CDROM for
Linux 6.*-7.* and Sun Solaris 2.8, and will be shipped to users or
institutions on request. Please direct e-mail requests for the package
to aips2-request@nrao.edu, and include a complete mailing address. The
v1.6 CDROM ISO images are also available for download at several
high-bandwidth sites within the AIPS++ consortium, as described on the
AIPS++ web page at http://aips2.nrao.edu. This web site can also be
consulted for general information on AIPS++.
Release v1.6 contains new features in a range of different areas
within the package. These new scientific capabilities are fully
described in the release notes for v1.6, which are available at
(http://aips2.aoc.nrao.edu/docs/project/releasenotes16/releasenotes16.html).
New users of AIPS++ are encouraged to submit any defects or comments
on the package using our GUI-based defect submission tool, bug(),
which can be invoked at the AIPS++ command-line. We will provide
feedback on any defects which are submitted to the project and we
welcome comments from the user community.
In August 2001, Joe McMullin moved to Socorro NM to become the AIPS++
deputy project manager. Joe is currently coordinating AIPS++
operations and single-dish development.
