We encourage all SPEDAS users who are still using older releases to upgrade
to SPEDAS 6.0 (or a current nightly zip file) as soon as possible. The
installation instructions, source code, IDL save files, and precompiled
virtual machine executables for Mac, Linux, and Windows are all available
for download from the SPEDAS web site:
