Virtualbox images update

[Eugenio Dissegna]

Hello community, 

I just noticed the last downloadable virtualbox images are dated 12th August 2014, while I have been using the previous one, dated 14th February 2013. 

Could you explain what has been changed with the last image and which are the main differences?

Thank you very much,

Best regards

Eugenio

There are a LOT of differences. Here is a list of the major improvements we implemented in the first half of 2014:

On top of that, there are the changes of July and August, which you can see if you look at the latest

pull requests: https://github.com/gem/oq-engine/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed

In short, you should use the new images. The engine of August is much better than the engine of February.
