External Email - Use Caution
Hello,
When working with the nightly development version of FreeSurfer recon-all (freesurfer-linux-centos6_x86_64-dev.tar.gz 23-Dec-2019 06:01) The surface file format differed by one character (\n) from previous versions. What makes me suspicious of this change is the difference between output and the fsaverage subject. See head -n 3 surf/rh.white for each below.

This is the case for all sample data in the FS/subjects/ directory save for "bert". The data of which had been produced on 2019-12.21.
Although I have not tried freeview on these files, it fails to open in the python library nibabel.freesurfer.io.load_geometry.
Is this change intended?
Thank You.
