Software Releases

Gaudi (Hubert)

• Released v18r10 (with everything mentioned last time)
  • Changes in GaudiExample structure: component + link instead of many executables. Using GaudiMain. (Next version of GaudiKernel will feature an environment variable GAUDIEXE to point ot the default base executable)
  • Modified the rootmap dump script to check all files starting with rootmap (as ROOT does now)
  • Few patches to GaudiPython (Pere)
  • New functionality in ParticlePropertySvc (Vania)
    • it is possible to override particle properties without having to provide a complete file.
  • Minor memory leaks observed in PropertyMgr, to be investigated
  • Bug in VectorMap iterator to be fixed
• About v19r0
  • Pere reduced the size of the new StatusCode, now it is only 2.5 times slower (instead of 20 times)

LHCb, Boole, Brunel (Marco Cl. for Marco Ca.)

• Everything builds. He will test on Friday and, if everything goes smoothly, we should have a release early next week.

Gauss (Gloria)

• Release v25r5 based on LCG 47. Since it was never used in production it will be replaced by a rebuild on LCG48.
