This report is based on hearsay more than most - I forgot to solicit news.
The current release version of the Science Tools remains v9r7p1. Toby pointed out that in this release and apparently others since mid-July the packages related to pulsar tools did not compile under Windows. Some other unit tests failed in the Windows builds as well, although theses may not indicate fundamental problems.
The current HEAD build (1.679) differs from v9r7p1 only in the skymaps and pointlike packages.
I also forgot to check with Richard this week about whether SCS has provided RHEL5/gcc4 systems on the farm for the Release Manager to use. I'd assume that no news is no news.
