Hi,
I was curious to know what the tentative release date for FreeSurfer 6
is. I?m currently running FreeSurfer on multiple machines with El Capitan installed and I?m wondering whether it?s worth installing the beta distribution or rather uninstalling SIP on each of these many machines.
The release date for FreeSurfer 6 has been hard to nail down but we are in the final stages. I hesitate to give a solid date but I would say a month is a fair estimate.
Also is there any documentation on any specific bugs to watch out for
with El Capitan and FreeSurfer 5.3? I?ve been running some functions and haven?t found any errors yet.
I would only expect you to encounter errors if you were calling scripts which call freesurfer binaries (e.g. recon-all). If your just calling the binaries themselves then those should run successfully.
PS - how does FreeSurfer 6 plan to get around SIP?
We plan on getting around it using two methods. 1) creating wrapper scripts for some binaries. 2) Adding a source file in existing scripts to recreate the library path that were stripped by SIP.
