[Herwig-announce] ThePEG 1.8.1 and Herwig++ 2.6.1 have been released

[David Grellscheid]

Dear Herwig++ and ThePEG users,

we would like to announce the maintenance release of Herwig++ 2.6.1
together with ThePEG 1.8.1.


The main improvements are:

* The width treatment in BSM models, which has been made more robust and 
is now switched on by default.

* Improvements to Matchbox and the Dipole shower.

* Little Higgs models.

* Several smaller bugs that were fixed. A special thanks to ATLAS for 
their detailed bug reports.


All the bug fixes and improvements since the last version are listed
in the NEWS files in both the tarballs.

As usual, you can find the downloads at

For any questions, please contact herwig at projects.hepforge.org

With best regards,

     The Herwig++ and ThePEG authors
