Sushi 3.4.0 - release notes


Introduction

This is the new production release of the SHARP/autoSHARP interface package (Sushi). It includes the graphical user interface as well as autoSHARP. Apart from the documentation you are currently reading, there is extensive information available on our WWW page (especially the Sushi 3.4.X and general upgrade notes).

This release has been tested on

with CCP4 5.0.2 as well as the upcoming 6.0 release.

      IMPORTANT :  this release requires a new set of licence keys (so your existing .licence file will not work): please request
  1. licence renewal,
  2. additional licence keys, or
  3. a complete new licence


Installation

The easiest way to install everything from scratch:
  1. Download all necessary packages. This requires a password - which should have been sent to you at the time of licence acceptance (but it is changed regularly, so see also the password reminder page).

  2. follow the installation instructions, especially the typical installation scenarios. E.g.:
    % cd /where/ever/sharp
    % ./installSHARP -F
          
To install the autoSHARP CCP4i GUI (tested with CCP4 5.0.2 - but should work also with the upcoming 6.0 release):
  1. start CCP4i
  2. open "System Administration" (at the right side)
  3. select "Install Tasks"
  4. for the "Task archive", browse to the installation directory of SHARP/autoSHARP and select the file autoSHARP_CCP4i.tar.gz
  5. click "Apply" and then quit/restart ccp4i
  6. there should now be a task autoSHARP in the "Experimental Phasing" module and also in the "Program list" (by default new tasks are installed at the end of the list).

Upgrade

Alternatively, if you want to upgrade your existing SHARP/autoSHARP installation:
  1. Download all new packages. This requires a password - which should have been sent to you at the time of licence acceptance (but it is changed regularly, so see also the password reminder page).

  2. unpack files and update your configuration (in the so-called $BDG_home directory):
    % cd /where/ever/sharp
    
    % source ./setup.csh              # for csh/tcsh
      - or -
    % . ./setup.sh                    # for sh/bash/ksh
    
    % adm/bin/kill_server
    % ./installSHARP -U
          
  3. see also the Sushi 3.4.X and general upgrade notes.

  2. autoSHARP - improvements:

  3. autoSHARP - fixed bugs:

Changes since version 3.2.0

Just two small changes to make the explanation links work better. Also, a new httpd binary for Linux was compiled (to avoid problem of missing shared library on various FedoraCore releases). If you are already happy running 3.2.0 - there is no need for upgrading.

Changes since version 3.0.15

This is a list of changes since the last Sushi production release (3.0.15). Please note, that autoSHARP is part of Sushi - so a lot of the changes/improvements actually concern autoSHARP and not only the interface.
