I've got DiFX2.8 installed on ozstar now Chris but I see some back and forth'ing with the CODIF code, so will wait for your say-so before I test the ASKAP correlations that exercise it.</div>

Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the question. To clarify, yes, CODIF is included. I see no <br>
reason not to proceed put your new version in 2.8, but would suggest you <br>
do that as soon as possible so that the majority of the testing folks do <br>
does cover the new code.<br>

>> At this point, the 2.8 branch has been created, essentially by capturing a snapshot of the main development "trunk". This was done after several months of developers working to fix remainig issues. DiFX 2.8 is _not_ a stable release and should not be used
for production. DiFX 2.8.1 will be the first stable release from the 2.8 branch. Prior to tagging the 2.8.1 release, we will be in a test period. At this point I would invite interested users to install the 2.8 branch and evaluate it. The more testing that
can be done before 2.8.1, the better the release will be.<br>
