+Dear CrystFEL users and interested crystallographers,
+
+CrystFEL version 0.6.1 has been released. The most interesting changes
+in this version are the new "prediction refinement" stage in
+"indexamajig" and improvements to the scaling and post-refinement
+program "partialator". There are also a couple of new indexing methods.
+
+The prediction refinement stage improves the quality of spot prediction
+and hence the initial parameter estimates of the spot partialities. It
+is also able to update the central beam position.
+
+The improvements to partialator include a significantly more stable
+scaling procedure. Partialator is no longer considered experimental as
+of this version, so please try it and send feedback. With the
+combination of this and the new prediction refinement, many users are
+already finding significant improvements in data quality. See the
+release notes (link below) and the updated tutorial on the CrystFEL
+website for more details.
+
+The new indexing methods are "asdf", which is an algorithm built into
+CrystFEL which therefore requires no external programs, and
+"mosflm-cell" which uses the prior unit cell algorithm in recent (7.2.0
+or later) versions of mosflm. "mosflm-cell" is now the default
+behaviour for mosflm - if it doesn't work for you, explicitly specify
+"mosflm-nocell" to restore the old behaviour.
+
+In addition, there are many smaller improvements, new features and bug
+fixes.
+
+Thanks for all of your past and future feedback and contributions, and
+your continued use of CrystFEL. As ever, please contact me directly if
+you would prefer to be unsubscribed from this mailing list.
