LATEST EMAIL UPDATE: 07 Dec 2014
###################################################################

Small improvements, bug fixes, documentation updates, and a note
on Mac OS X 10.10.  Full details appended.

First, movie-making script were expanded and documented, which
include phasemovie, offsetmovie, movie360 (fix introduced bug),
inflatemovie, and flattenmovie.  Second, tcl/tk was updated to the
latest 8.5 release (8.5.17).  Third, I fixed stale 'ps' options
that were causing a csurf startup crash on recent Ubuntu.  Fourth,
MGH .mgz files can now be used in the Import Extern Stats panel as
stats overlays (e.g., for qT1 overlays).  Finally, I figured out
how to block AFNI version checks, because when the AFNI website is
down, continual attempts by to3d and afni to call home in the
background will block return from tcl command.

I tested csurf on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and found that everything
works.  However, while OpenGL graphics performance is fine, tk
widget drawing speed is inexplicably quite a bit slower on some
machines (e.g., Mac Pro).  Compiling on 10.10 instead of 10.6 works,
but doesn't help.  I have filed a bug report with Apple and am
working with the XQuartz maintainer Jeremy Huddleston to try to fix
this.  Nothing breaks; it's just irritating.

As always, bug reports appreciated.

### 07 Dec 2014 (movies, small bugfix/updates, doc updates)
 1) expand, document movie scripts (phase/offset/movie360/inflate/flatten)
 2) update to tcl/tk 8.5.17
 3) fixed recent Ubuntu csurf startup crash
 4) Import Extern Stats can use .mgz stats file
 5) AFNI version checking blocked (in case AFNI website down)
 6) runs on Mac OS X 10.10 (tk is slow on some machines)

To install the new csurf:

cd <dir-where-csurf-currently-installed>
  mv csurf csurf-YYMMDD
  tar xvfz csurf0.8-{mac,linux}-YYMMDD.tgz

cheers,
marty
