[lsst-dm-stack-users] New release of the software stack

[James Chiang]

Hi Mario,

I just saw that the image slicing syntax is available in the new
release.  That would indeed be useful for us to have for the Camera
sensor test scripts.  Also, we are planning to use v6_2 as the basis
for our workflow demo for the DESC computing workshop next month, so
it would be great to have binary distributions of that release
available for people to grab.

If you could bump up the creation of binary distributions in your
priority list, it would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

-Jim
