Full list of changes (TODO)
2017/12/05 - MCPLOTS public release
Includes:
- Rivet 2.4.0
- The plotting tool has been updated, to correct
labeling on several plots and introduce a revised design
template with a slightly wider overall aspect ratio (to fit better on
slides), the main and ratio panes now touching each other and thus
enlarging the total data display area despite reducing the height,
and the black top bar replaced by ordinary black-on-white text. Note
also that the ratio pane is now using a logarithmic axis centred on
the range [0.5, 2] with a bit of margin on either side.

- Temporary removed bottom quark analyses due to issues with generators
steering cards. To be re-added in the next release.
- Expanded validation framework to include new "Tuning Validation"
page, on which the chi2 values of different tunes of each generator
are compared to each other. (We still choose not to show any direct
comparisons between different generators, as the interpretation of
such comparisons is more involved and the simple compound chi2 we
calculate here could potentially be misleading.)
- Rivet 1.8.3. Thanks to Test4Theory volunteer Crystal Pellet for
alerting us to the new version.
- Corrected bugs
for Herwig++
W+jets
and Phojet
ppbar runs. Thanks to Test4Theory
volunteers Crystal
Pellet and Ray Murray
for helping us track this down.
- Updated Test4Theory for compatibility with Scientific Linux 6.
- Updated and reorganized tune groups. New tab dedicated to
Soft-Inclusive MCs (generators specializing in diffraction,
min-bias, etc).
- Updated plotter. Improved
y axis ranges for plots with large uncertainties. Reduced
risk of plot points being hidden under legends.
- Included a Facebook "like" button, currently as an experimental
social feature, to be kept or removed in the future.
- Removed Pythia 8.157 (deemed obsolete).
- Reduced number of tune variations available for the oldest
versions of Pythia 6 and 8.
