[Rivet-announce] Rivet 1.6.0 releasedAndy Buckley andy.buckley at ed.ac.ukTue Aug 2 16:03:37 BST 2011
Hi everyone, I'm very pleased to announce that we've today released a new version of Rivet, version 1.6.0, which is recommended for production use in place of Rivet 1.5.1. As ever, it can be downloaded from http://www.hepforge.org/downloads/rivet/ and will shortly be available in pre-built form in the LCG Genser repository. The major version number change reflects that there have been some interface changes relevant to analysis authors, in particular in the WFinder and ZFinder projection interfaces. You may need to slightly update your analysis code, but it's worth doing as the interface fixes were introduced to fix a bug in the treatment of extra leptons in the events where the W/ZFinder are used. As well as these changes, there are a multitude of minor bug fixes, new analyses, and new features. The full description of changes since 1.5.1 may be found in the release change log: http://svn.hepforge.org/rivet/tags/rivet-1.6.0/ChangeLog Thank you for using Rivet, and many many thanks to those who have contributed to this release either in code or by feeding back information about bugs or feature requests. The latter particularly applies to the Genser and mcplots teams for their sterling job in testing the Rivet build and operation in advance of this release. Best wishes and happy riveting, Andy PS. We are giving a Rivet tutorial as part of the LPCC Theory Institute at CERN, on Tues 9th August. Send your analysis colleagues so your experimental analysis can go into the next release! http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceOtherViews.py?view=standard&confId=145745 -- Dr Andy Buckley SUPA Advanced Research Fellow Particle Physics Experiment Group, University of Edinburgh The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
