[3dem] Announcing a new (and final) version of EMAN1, EMAN 1.9

[Steven Ludtke]

We are pleased to announce EMAN 1.9, which we expect to be the final  
release of EMAN1. EMAN2 is, of course
also available, but we realize there are still many people relying on  
EMAN1 for their daily
reconstruction work, and EMAN2 is still changing rapidly and  
substantially different from EMAN1.

EMAN1.9 is fundamentally a bugfix release. There have been no major  
changes other than support for the HDF5
file format used for interchange by EMAN2. Numerous bugs have been  
fixed, and a number of minor improvements
have been made throughout the software.

Binaries are available for Linux, OSX and Windows. As before, for  
EMAN1, Linux and OSX are fully supported,
Windows support is provided for the GUI programs and utility programs  
only. I'd strongly recommend people
using any earlier version upgrade to this one. (EMAN2 supports Windows  
fully, but there may be hardware
specific issues)
