Hi everyone. I’m happy to report that we’ve just released version 0.12.1 of OpenMC! A huge thanks to all of the contributors as well as the users who provide valuable feedback to our development team. I’d encourage you to check out the release notes [here](https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc/releases/tag/v0.12.1) for the full list of new features and improvements. Notably, if you are running depletion calculations, I’d strongly recommend upgrading as there was an important bug fix that affects the accuracy of depletion calculations.

Hello Dr. Romano,

Is it already available through installation of public release? I have checked the [release notes](https://docs.openmc.org/en/stable/releasenotes/index.html), but I have not seen it. I have also downloaded the pdf guide mentioned at the end of the page you attached, and followed the usual steps to install it, but I have obtained the versione 0.12.0.  
Would you mind to specify if we can get the 0.12.1 version through usual installation, or we still need to install it from the source as developer release?

Thanks in advance,  
Tony

Hi @tony_emme

After merging this [PR](https://github.com/conda-forge/openmc-feedstock/pull/33) `openmc 0.12.1` will be available on `conda-forge`. Wait for couple of days 🙂

Hello Sir, please I’m new here, I want to start learning how to use OpenMC for reactor (MNSR) modeling and simulation for criticality safety. How can I get the code to install it and please suggest for me a link of videos to watch on how to learn too. Thank you very much for reading my texts.
