[Rivet] Rivet 2.5.4 release in March?

[Andy Buckley]

Hi all,

I'm about to be off on holiday for 3 weeks, having not managed to get 
all the work done for Rivet 2.5.4 due to lecture courses and the like.

That's not really a problem, although there have been enough bugfixes, 
improvements and newly contributed analyses to justify that release 
asap. The remaining patches I'm aware of are proposals for DIS 
projection improvements from Andrii Verbytskyi -- Leif & Jon have that 
code, and I think are the best-placed to decide if it should go in, or 
needs some more work (including, but not limited to, making it "Rivety").

So if there's the impetus and enthusiasm, please apply this and any 
other remaining patches for the release-2-5-x branch including the 
contrib analyses, check the validation runs, and release (along with 
YODA 1.6.7). That'd be a nice surprise for when I get back ;-)

Go on, you know you want to...
Andy
