TPP:4.6.3 Release Notes

From SPCTools

Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) software, release 4.6.3 is a maintenance release of TPP that contains changes to 4.6.2. The software is available for Windows as well as Linux (and unofficially) through OSX source from all the usual locations (please see the section below, "Getting the software"). Most users are recommended to use the Windows installer, which installs and configures the TPP and other required software (such as a web server). For advanced users who need to customize the TPP, or for those who run high-throughput experiments, you can download the source code. Again, most users don't need build from source, and should use the Windows installer.
