OpendTect Patch Release 7.0.10
Arnaud Huck
Dear OpendTect users,
We have made a patch release for our latest stable version:
OpendTect 7.0.10, which is now available for installation/update.
To install or update to the new version, either use the
'Installation -> Update' option from the Utilities menu in
OpendTect or download the Installation Manager from our download
center:
https://www.dgbes.com/software/download
For a complete list of improvements and bug-fixes that are
included in the 7.0.10 release, please refer to:

The
new version of OpendTect comes with updated license management
executables (lmgrd, lmutil, dgbld) in FlexNet v11.19.8. OpendTect
v7.0 will continue to be fully compatible with all license daemon
versions down to v11.17.2. The next major release of OpendTect
will keep using a minimum license daemon in version 11.17.2. As
always we strongly recommend to replace on your license server the
executables listed above by the newer FlexNet versions provided in
this release. The latest FlexNet version for all platforms can
always be downloaded from here.
These versions are updated regularly.
This patch is the last patch for this OpendTect branch. The next major release of OpendTect and its installation manager will be based on Qt6. This major upgrade will be mostly transparent to the end-user, but Qt6 requires few additional system libraries in order to run properly on Linux. We thus would like to ask the system administrators to take action by installing the following system libraries, in order to prepare for the incoming major release. Please find below the list of additional system packages required to run a Qt6 application on Linux:
| Qt Library | Package name (RHEL9, using dnf) | Package name (Ubuntu 24.04, using apt) |
| libxcb-cursor | xcb-util-cursor | libxcb-cursor0 |
| libxcb-xinput | xcb-util-wm | libxcb-xinput0 |
| libxcb-util | xcb-util | libxcb-util1 |
| libxcb-icccm | xcb-util-wm | libxcb-icccm4 |
| libxcb-image | xcb-util-image | libxcb-image0 |
| libxcb-keysyms | xcb-util-keysyms | libxcb-keysyms1 |
| libxkbcommon-x11 | libxkbcommon-x11 | libxkbcommon-x11-0 |
