Release update –

Last Friday – We have a release candidate! Please take a few minutes to download it, start it up, and look for telltale signs of smoke. Make sure that your favorite fix or improvement is working as desired. Let us know if we have broken anything.

We have created maintenance branches in the repository, and will be using them for the final release. Any bugs found during testing should be committed to the maint-rel-1.6 branch and merged to the develop branch. This is our first release cycle using Git, so let me know if you have questions, and we'll try to figure out the answers. 

The files for the release candidate are here:

VIVO:

Vitro:

Or you can get the latest and greatest directly from the maint-rel-1.6 branches of the repositories on GitHub.
