Dear LHAPDF users,

You will be pleased to know that several important new sets of PDF data 
have arrived in the LHAPDF6 data repositories: the new PDF4LHC15 
combination sets, the HERAPDF2.0 fit, and new nf=3 and nf=4 additions to 
the MMHT2014 collection.

All these can be accessed online at 
http://lhapdf.hepforge.org/pdfsets.html , and either downloaded or used 
directly from AFS at /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/lhapdfsets/current/ or 
CVMFS at /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/external/lhapdfsets/current . Users of 
the "lhapdf" data management script will find these sets available for 
automatic installation after running the "update" command.

A new version of LHAPDF6 is planned for the near future, to address 
minor build system bugs and to add some new features such as extended 
uncertainty calculation for the PDF4LHC15 sets and Fortran interface 
improvements. But these new sets can already be used with the stable 
6.1.5 release, without needing any code update.

Best wishes,
Andy & the LHAPDF team
