Release Notes
These
release notes
include changes that haven't made it into an official
version. The last official release was 2.4.1.
Bug Database
There's an SM bug database;
you'll need to allow your browser to set at least some cookies (sorry),
and login with any password that you feel like. There aren't many bugs
in it, which either reflects the stability of the code or the lack of
interest in reporting them.
Mailing List
There's a (not very busy) SM mailing list; to be added send mail to
Robert Lupton. When
he gets his act together, there'll be an archive available on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here's a very short FAQ list; suggestions for additions
would be gratefully received.
Example Plots
Here are a few examples of SM plots, along with the commands that
generated them. If you have a favourite graph that you'd like to see
here send Robert mail.
