Hello everyone including brave souls who are keen to use the latest greatest 
version of DIALS - the recently released 3.11

Sorry

Please don’t

We have had a couple of reports of issues with the graphical utilities in here 
caused by upstream changes in Python which have completely broken the graphical 
libraries on which we depend

Locally detailed at

https://github.com/dials/dials/issues/2216

For anyone who wants to see the gory details which are a side-effect of

https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/82180

As this is in our graphical interface tools it is not subject to automated 
testing and it would appear that those of us who are developing on 3.10 did not 
stumble across the problem

We will make a .1 release in the next couple of days - it would appear that the 
nightly builds are also affected by the same issue.

In the meantime I recommend people download the previous latest release 3.10.3

https://github.com/dials/dials/releases/tag/v3.10.3

I would like to emphasise that the algorithms are still fine (I believe) this 
is just an error with the viewers but fixing this in the longer term could be a 
substantial body of work.

For those who get their DIALS from CCP4 you will be fine as that is still on 
Python 3.7 or 3.8 so will not be affected by these issues.

Best wishes Graeme
