    Hi,

 A new release of Fox is available ! Everybody should upgrade, as this
 version fixes a few notable issues with the 1.8.0.x versions:

1) a speed problem when optimising powder patterns (5x speed slowdown !)
 2) under windows: a very slow read of uncompressed xml files
 3) under linux: various issues due to input/output in Fox unicode version

 Download the new Fox from:
 http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=27546

 Please report any issue with this new version !

     Vincent
