+===
+
+This version uses Rec v23r9, Lbcom v22r4, LHCb v44r9, Gaudi v29r5 and LCG 93.
+
+This version is released on `2018-patches` branch. It is intended for 2018 incremental stripping (`S34r0p3`), 2017 incremental stripping (`v29r2p3`), 2016 incremental stripping (`S28r2p2`) and patches to Moore and stripping in 2016, 2017 and 2018 simulation workflows. Builds with gcc62 on centos7.
+Built relative to Phys [v25r12](../-/tags/v25r12), with the following changes:
+
+
