[Rivet-announce] Rivet 2.1.1 / YODA 1.0.6 released

[Andy Buckley]

Dear all,

We are very happy to announce the release of the third Rivet version in
the 2.x series, version 2.1.1.

This version updates the Rivet 2.1.0 analysis content to contain four
new analyses (two each from ATLAS and CMS: see
http://rivet.hepforge.org/anadiffs), and providing better tools for
Particle/Jet sorting (e.g. a new sortByPt() function for Jets and
Particles vectors) and querying Particles about their decay products.
Access has been provided to the YODA analysis object collection via the
AnalysisHandler interface.

There are of course also bug-fixes and as always we encourage everyone
to upgrade immediately. Installation requires the new YODA version
1.0.6, released at the same time. Build scripts for LCG and stand-alone
systems are available (check the "Getting started" doc page).

The new Rivet and YODA packages are available for immediate download
from http://rivet.hepforge.org/ and http://yoda.hepforge.org/ respectively.

We intend to continue with more 2.1.x minor releases to provide analysis
updates as rapidly as practically possible. The next major release will
be version 2.2.0, in which the jet, histogram, and kinematic cuts
systems will be significantly upgraded.

Best wishes,
The Rivet team
