[Bio-Linux] maxdLoad2 updated

[Joe Wood]

Dear All,
A new version of maxdLoad2 has just been released (version 2.2.2). For those of you running Bio-Linux, maxdLoad2 will have updated automatically overnight as part of your usual updates. Otherwise please see below for how to upgrade - it basically requires replacing the maxdLoad2.jar file.

You may find the initial caching of the attribute etc. xml files a bit slow but maxdLoad2 should run as normal once this has been done.

Please see below for more information. If you experience any problems please contact helpdesk at envgen.nox.ac.uk.

regards
Joe Wood
