Dear Colleagues,
We would like to inform you that an issue affecting the MacOSX distribution of
SAS v22.0.0, related to hardcoded paths in certain dynamic libraries (.dylib), has been fixed. Additionally,
libquadmath has now been included in the libextra directory. This issue previously caused failures in certain tasks due to missing library dependencies when running SAS outside of its original build environment.
Furthermore, documentation has been enhanced to provide clearer guidance on resolving issues related to
System Integrity Protection (SIP) on MacOS and handling missing Python package dependencies.
A separate issue with the
SAS Docker setup, which affected HEADAS configuration and prevented access to
XSPEC, has also been solved.
For full details, please refer to the
COSMOS SAS Release Notes 2210 - XMM-Newton - Cosmos
Sincerely,
The XMM-Newton Guest Observer Facility and ESA Science Operations Centre
