Current Status

The current release is 2.1.0 (16th May 2012) (click to see downloadable files). For a brief description of new features see the version history in the userguide. For a complete list of changes since previous versions see the change log.

Documentation (user guide):

The SPLASH userguide may be downloaded as a pdf, or by browsing the html version.

There is also a paper describing the basic algorithms implemented in SPLASH, which should be cited whenever you use SPLASH for scientific purposes (cite as Price, 2007, Publ. Astron. Soc. Aust., 24, 159-173).

Downloads

Development version:

SPLASH and giza (the plotting backend in v2.x) both have public svn repositories, so you can check out the latest and greatest code at any time. Just use:

svn co https://svn-vre.its.monash.edu.au/mathsci/splash

Then checkout giza into a subdirectory of splash, i.e.

cd splash; svn co https://giza.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/giza giza

Both repositories are generally quite stable, so it is usually safe to get the very latest version.
The advantage of obtaining SPLASH this way is that, to receive updates you simply type, in the root-level SPLASH directory:

svn update; cd giza; svn update; cd ..

then "make" in the SPLASH directory to rebuild (to be on the safe side, use "make clean" then "make").

Alternatively, you can download a tarball of the most recent stable release, below.

MacPorts

On Mac OS/X, the last stable release (and all dependencies) can also be installed via MacPorts:

sudo port install splash

It is recommended that you install SPLASH this way if you have no intention of modifying the source code and want to use it simply as a "black box".
