Dear all,

The time is almost upon us for the Old Coot timer to go off in the 0.5 series. When we released 0.5 in Sept last year, I thought that 11 months would be comfortably enough to get 0.6 out. But alas no, there is no new version available.

I did consider making a fake 0.5.3, and reset the timer there, but rejected the idea because it would be a cheat - there would be no new features (and would take time too). I also considered releasing what we have, but rejected that too - the chi angle code really does need fixing (indeed, the chi angle code is the only thing blocking 0.6).

You can also remove the old coot warning by running the attached script (gziped to get it past the stupid email attachment filter).

You can also remove it by hand: edit xxx/share/coot/scheme/coot-gui.scm and comment out (with a ";") the "(old-coot?)" line [1].

I hope that the new version will be available in less than 2 weeks.

Thanks for your patience,

Paul.

[1] I don't mean the (define (old-coot?) line
