[3dem] Scipion 2.0 is out

[Pablo Conesa]

**

*Dear all,*

*

We are pleased to announce the new major release of version SCIPION 2.0 
<http://scipion.i2pc.es>. It is freely available for download on Linux here:


http://scipion.i2pc.es/download_form


Key changes for version 2.0 are:


  *

    Almost all existing EM packages were updated, such as RELION3,
    EMAN2.21, Gctf 1.18, SPIDER 25.02, Motioncor2-1.2.1 and others.


  *

    Model building tools from CCP4, Chimera, Phenix and powerfit have
    been added.


  *

    Several improvements for streaming: multi-GPU jobs distribution,
    more protocols supporting batch processing, jobs scheduling, new
    XMIPP streaming protocols (movie maxshift, ctf selection, GL2D
    classification on GPU etc.)


  *

    Multiple workflow usability and GUI improvements as well as bug
    fixes for several tasks.

**

  *

    Pluginization: each EM package is now a plugin developed and updated
    independently from Scipion core. This is a first step towards making
    Scipion even more modular and easy to use and install for both users
    and developers. The new repository hosting official plugins is now here:


https://github.com/scipion-em


For your convenience we have developed a Plugin Manager which provides 
an easy GUI to manage plugins and associated binaries. We already have 
over 30 plugins including several new ones, such as 3DFSC, CryoEF, 
Sphire (crYOLO), EMPIAR depositor and others. For more information on 
each plugin consult its corresponding repo and/ or developers.


  *

    For developers and facility managers we now have a slack workspace
    where you can easily reach other developers and facility staff to
    get a quick feedback: https://scipion.slack.com/. Contact us at
    scipion at cnb.csic.es <mailto:scipion at cnb.csic.es>for an invitation.
