Hi Kirstie, sorry for the lack of documentation – there’s practically no difference between 6.0.0 and 6.0.1. The only update in 6.0.1 is the ability to point to an external license using the FS_LICENSE environment variable. What kind of issues are you having with 6.0.0?

Best,

Andrew

Subject: [Freesurfer] Version 6.0.0 or 6.0.1?

        External Email - Use Caution        

Hi Freesurfer team,

On the download website version 6.0.0 is linked: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/DownloadAndInstall

But on this list there has been discussion of version 6.0.1 which can be downloaded from https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/6.0.1

What's the recommended version to use?

I've been using 6.0.0 but with an updated make file following the instructions in this email: https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2018-April/056644.html

Is the makefile updated in 6.0.1? Are there any other differences? I'm having a lot of difficulty getting recon-all to run reliably with 6.0.0 (some subjects are fine, others not!) and I'm wondering if that's because I'm supposed to be using 6.0.1?

Thank you for your help!

Kirstie
