Announcements

  1. New src release, ???sim-recon-2010-03-29: Mark mentioned that this was the first release using the new sim-recon structure and the first using JANA 0.6.1. No problems have been reported thus far.
  2. "RedHat 5.3" link to "CentOS" for JLab builds: Mark reported that this has been done for existing releases. It still needs to be automated.
  3. New HOWTO add private code to a DANA application: Mark and Dave wrote one. See the ???email announcement. During discussion we identified two new HOWTO's that we would like to see:
    1. HOWTO enable multiple threads: David will write this one.
    2. HOWTO write thread-safe code: Elliott suggested this; he will help David write one.
  4. JANA 0.6.1 required for new code: David warned us that due to check-in's done this week, JANA 0.6.1 is required to build the latest version of sim-recon.
  5. Make system fixed to re-make on include file changes: In trying to fix another feature, Mark broke this basic function of the depends files. He has fixed it now. It had been broken for several months.
