The current release of the Science Tools is still v9r15p5, although a new release is anticipated soon. This report describes some of the new features for the next release.
Eric W. reports that he has got v9r15p5 building at the FSSC. The current public release is based on v9r15p2. My understanding is that p5 is 'close' to the next release, so the time spent getting v9r15p5 to build with the HEASARC hmake system was also in preparation for the next public release.
