platforms are available at the download site:

http://phenix-online.org/download/

Just some of the new features in this version (1.6.1) are:

- Fast automated rotamer fixing in phenix.refine
- Use of atomic charge in calculation of scattering factors
- New Graphical User Interfaces for phenix.superpose_pdbs,
phenix.get_cc_mtz_mtz,
phenix.get_cc_mtz_pdb, and phenix.fmodel
- Consolidated validation tool in GUI
- New map calculation tool, phenix.maps (also used in GUI)
- Rapid loading of structures in GUI selection editor
- Improved geometry restraints to maintain amino acid rotameric states
- Alpha version of secondary structure restraints
- Automated secondary structure analysis with KSDSSP (code from UCSF
CGL)
