The Chandra X-ray Center (CXC) is pleased to announce that patch
versions 3.4.1 and 3.4.1.1 of CIAO ("Chandra Interactive Analysis of
Observations") are now available for download from:
http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/ .
-----------------------------------
These releases are *only* of interest to users running CIAO on Mac OSX
10.4 PowerPc and Mac OSX 10.4 Intel. A CIAO 3.4 installation needs to be
present.
The CIAO 3.4.1 patch fixes problems running the applications Prism and
Filtwin on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) on PowerPC. This patch has no effect
when installed in Mac OS 10.2 or 10.3 on PowerPC. The patch file
upgrades CIAO 3.4 to CIAO 3.4.1.
The CIAO 3.4.1.1 patch makes it possible to run all tools and applications
(e.g.
Sherpa and ChIPS) on Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger) on Intel. Intel Mac users do
not need to install the CIAO 3.4.1 patch; the CIAO 3.4.1.1 patch file is
a direct upgrade to CIAO 3.4.
The CIAO software for Intel runs under Apple's Rosetta software, the PPC
emulator software, which is included in Mac OS X for Intel machines. A native
Intel build of CIAO will be released in the course of 2007.
For complete information on this release, including some performance
test results of running CIAO on Intel Mac under Rosetta, please see the
full Release Notes (http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/releasenotes/).

As always please send questions and requests for enhancements to the CXC

CIAO 3.4.X is a collaborative effort between the SAO/CXC Science Data
Systems, the SAO/CXC Data Systems, and MIT/CXC personnel.
