Dear Members of the SasView Users List,

It gives us great pleasure to inform you that we have just released an update to SasView, SasView 6.1.0, available as usual through the SasView website. This is a major release with some exciting new tools, some important improvements and, of course, the usual bug fixes. We believe this to be one of our most significant releases to date.

For those that prefer to build their installation from source (eg, Linux users), SasView is also available through Flatpak.

We regret we are still unable to provide a conda distribution for SasView 6.x, but work is in progress to develop wheels available on PyPI (our wheels are just a little too big at the moment!).

This release comes, not entirely coincidentally, just a couple of days ahead of the ICNS-2025 conference in Copenhagen/Lund. Several SasView Developers and Contributors will be present, so please do say 'hello' if you are able!

SasView contributors from the Magnetic SANS community are also organising two events this year which may be of interest to some of you:

The first is a mini-symposium on “Magnetic SAS Data Analysis – State-of-the-Art and Future Improvements”, which will take place during the ICNS-2025 conference on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025, at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark;

The second is SasView Contributor Camp XIV to be hosted by TU Munich, Garching, Germany between November 11-17th, 2025. This will largely follow the format of the hugely successful Camp in Delaware last year, but with more of a focus on the needs of the Magnetic SAS and allied communities (ie, those SAS users producing more complex data than isotropic powder patterns).

Thank you for your continued support! And, as ever, if you would like to get involved, please see https://www.sasview.org/contribute/ for further information.
