Notes#

  • The Release Note v4.4.4 lives on a dedicated path (docs_BPS_v4_4_4/). The 13 other documents are hosted under /assets/documents/BPS_v4.4.2/, the directory used as the active set during the 4.4.2 → 4.4.4 transition. They will be relocated to a BPS_v4_4_4/ directory in a future portal refresh; this table will be updated accordingly.

  • Markdown conversion of the ATBDs and SUM is tracked progressively in separate [docs] issues on the issue tracker. Until each conversion is merged and SME-approved, the PDF linked here remains the authoritative reference. Draft web pages (when available) are linked in the Web column and labelled accordingly in the Science Guide.
