                        RELEASE NOTES FOR HEASOFT 6.11.1
                                 November 22, 2011
********************************************************************************

The HEASoft 6.11.1 release is primarily driven by updates to the Suzaku
mission software, but also includes an update to the Ximage utility
which has been revised to mirror the current development version in
use at the HEASARC.

As before, configuration-related changes thoughout the package means that
users who already have HEASoft v6.x.x installed will need to completely
replace their software installation; there is no clean way to simply
overlay this new release or to update an existing installation.
