[LHAPDF-announce] LHAPDF 6.1.4 release and new NNPDF 3.0 and pol PDF sets

[Andy Buckley]

Dear LHAPDF users,

We are very pleased to announce the release of LHAPDF 6.1.4.

This is a minor release adding improvements to the performance of the
alphaS solver, protecting against a bug in certain versions of the Boost
library, improving the robustness of the data parser, and adding
multiset versions of the Fortran getxmin, getminmax, etc. routines.

This new version can be downloaded immediately from
https://www.hepforge.org/downloads/lhapdf

We'd also like to draw attention to the recent release of the NNPDF 3.0
and polarized PDF sets in LHAPDF6 data format. These are available for
download now, either direct from
https://www.hepforge.org/archive/lhapdf/pdfsets/6.1/ or via the "lhapdf"
manager utility script.

NOTE: The new 6.1.4 release is _not_ required to use these -- you can
just download them (and the updated pdfsets.index file) and use them in
version 6.1.3 or indeed any release of LHAPDF6. But of course using the
latest version is encouraged!

Best wishes,
Andy & the LHAPDF6 team
