[Siscone-announce] New SISCone release (v 1.2.0)

[Gregory Soyez]

Hi all,

We would like to let you know that a new version of SISCone (v1.2.0) is now
available for download at
http://projects.hepforge.org/siscone
It is also included in the last beta-release of FastJet (v2.2beta0)

Here is a summary of the new features (since the previous release 1.1.1):
* 10-15% speed increase by introducing a tiling in the eta-phi plane allowing
for better overlap checking in the split--merge. This can turn into a bigger
effect e.g. for area computations.
* implementing a 'jet area' class to compute active and/or passive areas.
* in examples:
 - fix bug in the cmdline parsing (there was a segfault with unrecognised long
options),
 - add "passes information" to the verbose output of the siscone program,
 - solve problems with the 'time' example.

Beside this new release, we have also set up a mailing list for the important 
SISCone announcements. To avoid all of you to have to register, I have added 
your address to the mail list. If you don't want to receive those messages 
any longer, please visit
http://www.hepforge.org/lists/listinfo/siscone-announce
or send me an email directly.

Note finally that comments and questions about SISCone can now be directly
addressed to siscone at projects.hepforge.org

All the best,
Gregory
