Though we have tested this release thoroughly, we realistically expect that there will be some bugs and kinks to workout. Accordingly, we have added a "Known Issues" section to the release page at:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReleaseNotes
We will have a minor release in a week in which these issues will be resolved.
As luck would have it, there are already two issues, one is fairly important, so take note:
* Make sure to run "setenv FIX_VERTEX_AREA" if using any commands outside of recon-all, particularly the mri_glmfit and mri_surfcluster programs. To be safe, you can just add the line "setenv FIX_VERTEX_AREA" into FreeSurferEnv.csh or your .cshrc file. This will only affect those downloading the new version. This will automatically be done for those in the Martinos Center.
* In tkmedit, while loading a functional overlay or time course, the registration file name may not be read properly. A workaround is to load the overlay or time course from the command line (see tkmedit for details).
* My (ie, Doug's) next email will be about a new average subject to replace both the talairach and average7 subjects.

Freesurfer community,
A new stable release, v3.0, is now available. The Release Notes page describing what's new, and a link to the download page, is here:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReleaseNotes
All users, including those using prior 'dev' releases, are encouraged to upgrade to this release.
Updates to the stable release will be issued if major bugs are found (and fixed), and as new features which do not affect existing functionality become available.
