+Dear CrystFEL users and interested crystallographers,
+
+CrystFEL version 0.6.2 has been released. The most interesting changes
+in this version are improvements to the stability of scaling in partialator,
+the addition of "custom dataset splitting" for time-resolved/isomorphous
+replacement experiments and more, "retry" indexing to increase the indexing
+rate, and support for per-pixel saturation values needed to correctly handle
+dual-gain CSPAD data.
+
+The improvements to scaling stability should improve the results with most
+data sets, but particularly those where there have been problems with large
+numbers of crystals getting rejected due to excessively large relative B
+factors.
+
+"Custom dataset splitting" enables you to process multiple datasets in one
+large scaling (or post-refinement) job, and separate them afterwards. This
+eliminates any possible concerns over uniqueness of the solution with these new
+data processing methods.
+
+"Retry" indexing is where the indexing method is repeated, if it fails the first
+time, after deleting some of the weakest peaks. In many cases, this leads to a
+successfully indexed pattern. This can sometimes double the indexing rate!
+However, it makes it slower to process if the indexing rate is low, and you can
+disable it by adding "-noretry" to all the indexing methods.
+
+See the release notes for more discussion of these improvements.
+
+In addition, there are many smaller improvements, new features and bug
+fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
+
+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.
