[Herwig-announce] Herwig++ 2.4.0 and ThePEG 1.5.0 have been released

[David Grellscheid]

Dear Herwig++ and ThePEG users,

we would like to announce the release of Herwig++ 2.4.0 together with
ThePEG 1.5.0.

Some of the changes are:

- several new matrix elements including PP -> VV and PP -> qqh,

- MRST LO** as the new default PDF set,

- a retune of shower, hadronization and underlying event parameters,

- direct support for Rivet and HepMC from within ThePEG instead of
Herwig++,

- implementation of the HepMC status code for generator-specific particles.


Many other improvements have been made, please read both the 'NEWS'
files for the detailed list of changes. Some of the changes may need
small modifications to user code. Please contact us if you have problems!

With best regards,

  The Herwig++ and ThePEG authors
