New release of Mantid: 6.13.0

Hello,

We are proud to announce version 6.13.0 of Mantid. Installation packages can be found on our download page along with updated instructions for installing the latest release via Conda. You can also access the source code on the GitHub release page.

These are the highlights for this release:

  • Availability of a native Apple Silicon package for macOS users. With Rosetta no longer being required, users of this new package should notice a significant performance improvement on Apple Silicon based machines.

  • A complete overhaul of the NeXus API for loading HDF5-based files.

  • A set of brand new algorithms for producing and saving multiple polarized SANS files into a single output file.

  • Significant improvements to the PEARLTransFit algorithm

  • An upgrade to Python 3.11

Please take a look at the release notes, which are filled with details of all the changes and improvements in many other areas. The development team has put a great effort into making all of these improvements and we would like to thank all of our beta testers for their time and effort helping us to make this another reliable version. Thank you to everyone that has reported any issues to us and please keep on reporting any problems you have on our forum or by email on mantid-help@mantidproject.org.
