TUI version 1.4 is coming. This includes SPICam control, focus script enhancements and an improved enclosure widget. A very stable and well-tested prerelease 1.4b5 is available now (from the usual prerelease location: <http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/35m_operations/TUI-images/files/>). I expect to release 1.4 later this week after some tests of the new tertiary rotation control. The rest of this message is for people who install TUI on unix, telling you how to prepare for TUI 1.4. TUI 1.4 uses numpy instead of numarray and Numeric. Thus to run TUI 1.4 you must install: - numpy (1.0 or later; the current release is best) - A numpy-compatible version of pyfits (1.1 or later) *** WARNING *** Once you install pyfits 1.1 or later, TUI 1.3 will STOP DISPLAYING GUIDE IMAGES until you define environment variable NUMERIX to numarray. This tells pyfits to run with numarray instead of numpy. Please only do this for TUI 1.3; it is not wanted for TUI 1.4. Thus if you want to make both TUI 1.3 and TUI 1.4 available to your users (recommended for safety) please define NUMERIX=numarray in the shell script that starts TUI 1.3, but not TUI 1.4. You can verify that you've done this correctly (even during the day and during the shutdown) by taking a short guider exposure and verifying that the image is displayed. Note: TUI 1.4 no longer uses numarray or Numeric. So you may delete those deprecated libraries once you are sure you won't need them for TUI 1.3 or anything else. -- Russell APO APO APO APO APO Apache Point Observatory 3.5m APO APO APO APO APO This is message 1051 in the apo35-general archive.
