IRAF 2.12.2 BETA
December 9th, 2003 by Marcos
NOAO has released a beta version of IRAF 2.12.2. I will not make installers for this as it is a pre-release. It’s primarily a bug-fix release, but full details as to what has changed won’t be available until the final release which should happen on December 20, barring any major problems found.
A complete re-install will be required, and I will have an installer for 2.12.2 once the final release is out. The new installer will incorporate the group permissions fix I’ve been talking about for a while.
Relevant to Mac users, support for 10.1 is officially dropped in this release, though they suspect the binaries will still work. 10.3 support is officially added.
I have learned that the IRAF binaries are built on MacOS 10.3 using gcc 3.3. They are going to look into G5 compiler flags and they may even make seperate binaries for the G5 if there are some significant speed gains. I personally think using gcc 3 itself should improve performance somewhat, as oppposed to 2.95.
The bold can find the beta IRAF binaries here. I’d make this a hyperlink but Safari would just open it in the Finder, and who wants that?
