Hi all,

An update on the Rivet 2.4.0 status. I've merged James Monk & Gavin 
Hesketh's patches, and done a few other tweaks such that the only thing 
remaining on the Trello board is "integrate new analyses". Good time for 
a new release.

I've also "done" the two that were assigned to me, at least as far as 
was possible. Here's an updated assignment list, with one more for me, 
two for David G, and two "missing" ones tentatively assigned to Holger ;-)

Getting these integrated by the end of the week would be ideal, so we 
can run the validation scripts over the weekend.


Chris P
   ATLAS_2014_I1326641.tar.gz
   ATLAS_2014_I1327229.tar.gz
   ATLAS_2015_I1387176.tar.gz

Andy B
   CMS_2014_I1305624.tgz      B0RKED
   CMS_2015_I1310737.new.tgz  DONE
   TOTEM_2014_I1328627

David G
   CMS_2015_I1327224.tgz
   CMS_2015_I1346843.tgz

Others... Holger?
   CMS_2013_I1122847  (missing since 2.3.0 cf. Xavier's email)
   D0_2000_I503361.tar.gz


Cheers,
Andy, de facto release coordinator :-P
