Change History

(In [2465]) Outputting files now differs under Windows and Linux. Linux now uses a directory under the user's home directory, $HOME/.mantid, to store things such as mantidsimple, logs, managed workspace files. This is basically so that the installation via the RPM can work properly. Windows behaviour should be unchanged. Re #587
