Publishing Our Lessons, Version 2016.06

This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

We are very pleased to announce the publication of Version 2016.06 of the Software Carpentry lessons. Thanks to a lot of hard work by their maintainers and Rémi Emonet (who has acted as release manager), we have:

• removed the need to build and commit HTML (everything except our R lessons is now pure Markdown);
• updated the appearance of the templates (including a top menu, a nicer color scheme, and previous/next links); and
• merged over 3100 pull requests from over 200 people.

Our materials are far from perfect, but we're very proud of what our community has built. Please see the releases page for links to the archived release, and the main lessons page for links to the updated lessons.
