This version has involved a major tidy-out of the SCRIPTS. There are 476 of them, plus associated data files, so that there is a real chance that something has been broken. If a required script has been inadvertently removed, you should get a plain-language message asking you to contact Oxford.

Input of reflection data from various sources in now handled uniformly. cif import of basic data (.cif) and reflection data (.fcf) has been improved. Restrained refined optimisation of Hydrogen atoms is now standard in model building, and can be invoked at any time. Riding refinement remains standard for the final stages to satisfy IUCr observation:parameter ratios.
Oxford University has agreed that sources and exectutables of CRYSTALS can be made Open Source once appropriate copyright messages have been included in all the files. This applies to both educational and commercial uses.
