Subject: Announcing BRL-CAD 7.0
All,
I am pleased to be able to announce the availability of BRL-CAD
release 7.0 for download. Please see:
http://ftp.arl.army.mil/brlcad/downloads/Rel7.0/
Perhaps the most significant change that you will immediately see is that this
distribution is provided as compressed tar files (with the exception of the
Mac platform). Users of Irix and Linux will have slightly different
installation procedures than in the past. Please read the web pages
carefully.
The second thing that will become apparent for binary installation
users is a change in the installation directory names. In order to
support those who run more than one version of BRL-CAD, this release
installs into /usr/brlcad7.0 instead of the previous /usr/brlcad.
Furthermore, to support multiple architectures being stored on the
same server, a sub-directory is in place under /usr/brlcad7.0 to hold
the architecture specific installation. For example, on Linux/Pentium
systems, you will find /usr/brlcad7.0/ia32 is the installation
directory. Please adjust your PATH environment variables to reflect
the new naming convention.
