+ Minor fix to <tt>GaudiHistos<PBASE>::monitorHisto</tt> to use the full TES path

+Jones</span>). Update the way GaudiCommon handles get and put methods
+to respect the settings of the Root<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">On</span>TES
+(now renamed Root<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">In</span>TES, see
+below)</li>
+ </ul>
+ <ul>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Trivially rename the RootOnTES option RootInTES, to force
+code
+using this to no longer compile. Fixes will be trival, but this is done
+to make sure all cases where this is used are found and properly
+assessed to make sure they are updated appropriately, to caught a few
+special cases.</li>
+ <li>All get and put methods now interally prepend the <span
+ style="font-family: monospace;">rootInTES()</span> to their data
+locations as appropriate. A new argument is added to the get and put

+Belyaev</span>):</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Event tag collections (aka "N-tuples with POOL persistency")
+allows to write as N-tuples items almost all objects, known for
+POOL/Reflex. However this nice fucntionality was not available from
+"friendly" N-tuples interface, used in GaudiTupleAlg and
+GaudiTupleTool. The proposed patch solved this problem. Now for tuples
+with POOL persistency one can store ANY objects, known for
+POOL/Reflex. It is done through new (templated) method <span
+ style="font-family: monospace;">Tuples::TupleObj::put.</span></li>
+ <li>IMPORTANT: Previously the method Tuples::TupleObj::write have
+been disabled form event tag collections. (The actual writing have been
+postponed for OutputStream phase). From now mehtod is reenabled again.
+One CAN use it.. The old way (with OutputStream) is still possible but,
+of course, deprecated.</li>
+ <li>The end-of-the-job printout of all known Event Tag Collection
+is extended with the printout of the full map of the field names and
+their actual types.</li>
+ <li>The return codes from various methods of class
+Tuples::TupleObj are modified a bit to use the predefined enums instead

+CLID_ColumnWiseTuple</li>

+implements the queue of executing algorithms, thus the problems are

+ <li>patch #1150 (<span style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Charles

+merging files during build procedure with some additional changes:</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Reverted the dependency to GaudiSvc. This is needed for
+genconf to work specially when building the Gaudi project itself. The
+only possibility to remove this dependency is by providing a minimal
+application manager to support the instantiation of the components for
+which you need to dump the properties and they default values.</li>
+ <li>Moved the stampfiles to the destination area (i.e. the
+InstallArea). In this way if the install area gets deleted the merged
+file is reconstructed again.</li>
+ <li>Renamed the fragment merge_genmap to merge_rootmap to
+generalize it and use it also for merging the rootmaps from reflex
+dictionaries.</li>
+ <li>Improved the rules in the makefile fragments and corrected
+some error messages.</li>
+ </ul>

+<ul>
+ <li>GaudiPolicy (v6r5):</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>added the local package root directory for the compilation of

+dependency on the install_more_include pattern any more (<span
+ style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Hubert Degaudenzi</span>).</li>
+ <li>patch #1080: fix in the
+GaudiPolicy/cmt/fragments/genconfig_header to address make's slc3
+limited features (and prevents CMT from looping or stopping build in
+PEDANTIC mode) (<span style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Sebastien Binet</span>).</li>
+ <li> removed the genconfig_cmd macro. Rely on the one in the
+GaudiKernel requirements file (<span style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Hubert
+Degaudenzi</span>).</li>
+ <li>reenabled the -Wl,--no-undefined option by default (not under
+the LHCb tag any more) <br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>GaudiKernel (v22r2):</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Patch #1081 (fix to bug #24704): fix the crash that happens
+when the destinatin file of genconf has a "+" in its path (<span
+ style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Sebastien Binet</span>).</li>
+ <li>Patch #1080: fixes to GaudiKernel/src/Util/genconf.cpp (<span
+ style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Sebastien Binet</span>):</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>fix handling of templated components</li>
+ </ul>
+ <ul>
+ <li>fix handling of (default value of) BooleanProperties</li>

+ <ul>
+ <li>fix handling of NaN DoubleProperties (follows the good old
+Garbage In, Garbage Out pattern, even though a warning is issued during
+genconf processing...)</li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>Patch #1073. Simple modification of IExceptionSvc interface
+(and the implementation ExceptionSvc) to avoid the explicit appearence
+of class Algorithm in the interface. The interface is modified to
+substitute Algorithms with INamedInterface. It allows to use the
+service in much wider context, in particular with tools, services and
+auditors (<span style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Vanya Belyaev</span>).</li>
+ <li>Patch #1058 (partially). Makes sure a DoubleProperty is
+understood as a double on the python side (and not
+converted into an int as it the cast) (Sebastien Binet)<br>
+ </li>
+ <li>added merge_genconfDb.py scripts to merge configurables (<span
+ style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Sebastien Binet</span>).</li>
+ <li>patch #1070. The python configurables generated with the
+current genconf.cpp return the python (mangled) class name from the
+function getType(). This should be the C++ class name, otherwise the
+ToolSvc will not find tools from classes in namespaces and/or templated
+classes. This is critical as many classes in ATLAS as of these
+categories and all those are broken now (<span
+ style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Martin Woudstra</span>).</li>
+ <li>patch #1071. The GaudiHandle version used in ATLAS has since
+some time an 'empty()' member function to indicate that no component is
+supposed to be retrieved nor used. For some reason this member function
+did not make it into Gaudi 19, so now the ATLAS code is broken. patch
+adds this member function to the GaudiHandleBase class, and allows the
+users to specify an 'empty' handle in the constructor (i.e. "" is kept
+is-as and does not trigger the setting to the default type) (<span
+ style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Martin Woudstra</span>).</li>
+ <li> patch #1049: do a full include of SmartDataPtr.h instead
+of a forward declaration (<span style="color: rgb(115, 115, 115);">Paolo
+Calafiura</span>).<br>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>GaudiSvc (v15r3):</li>

+ <li>patch #1006. The various finalize methods in the ToolSvc don't
+propagate errors that occur during the finalization of tools back

+ <li>patch #994. If the finalization of a service fails, a warning

+<h2><a name="v19r1">Gaudi v19r1</a> (2007-01-15)</h2>
+<p>This release is the first stable one from the v19 series. It
+encompass number of bug fixes and improvements to the v19r0 version. 2
+new packages are also available: </p>
+<ol>
+ <li>
+ <p>GaudiGridSvc (v1r0): This one is meant to replace the
+GaudiSiteSvc package
+for the prestaging of files. It is using the GFAL library and thus is
+more general than the prestaging of the CASTOR files only. It supports
+now the GFAL backends. </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>GaudiMonitor (v1r0): The DataListenerSvc has been moved from the
+GaudiSvc package to this new package.<br>
+ </p>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+<p>Since these new features depends on external software (GFAL and
+MonaLisa), they have not been included in the GaudiSvc package but
+deserve their own packages.</p>
+<p>To be noted that the steering package for the framework is not the
+"Gaudi" package anymore. It is now called "GaudiRelease". This version
+also incorporates the merge with th v18r7b branch.<br>

+difficulties have been to handle dynamic_cast between libraries that
+are loaded dynamically. See complete explanation in <a
+ href="../../../GaudiKernel/v13r4/doc/dynamic_cast.pb">
+GaudiKernel/doc/dynamic_cast.pb</a>.</li>
+ <li>Major re-write of GaudiPyhton. Changes introduced to
+convert the package to new version of Boost.Python 2.0. Added the
+capability of setting/getting properties of Algorithms and Services
+before they are created by the ApplicationMgr.</li>
+ <li>Major re-write of GaudiObjDesc. Adapted to new version of
+Xerces 2.2.0</li>

+interface to allow specify the opening mode (NEW, RECREATE,
+UPDATE)</li>
+ <li>Implement the ability to reinitialize for changing the event
+file input specification</li>
+ <li>Implement new option RandSvc.Engine.SetSingleton. If set to
+true, set the default engine in HepRandom.</li>
+ <li>Changed IAddressCreator interface to be able to convert
+to and from address string.</li>
+ <li>Support to enable/disable Algorithms.
+Algorithm::sysExecute() returns immediately if isEnabled() is
+false.</li>
+ <li>Improved code in GaudiGSL minimization tool: all static
+variables and static methods are removed.</li>
+ <li>Implemented event file "aging" and and algorithm to close
+files which are "old". This is to avoid having many files open with the
+consequent waste of memory resources.</li>
+ <li>Added ability to read H1D, H2D, H1DVar histograms from ROOT
+files.</li>
+ <li>Added ability to read CWNT from ROOT files.</li>

+ </ul>
+ <h3><b>Changes of version in external packages</b>. </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>ROOT v3.05.04</li>
+ <li>Xerces 2.2.0</li>
+ <li>Pyhton 2.2.2</li>
+ <li>Boost 1.29</li>
+ <li>GSL 1.3</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2><a name="v11r0">2002-10-06 Gaudi v11r0</a></h2>
+ <h3>Improvements and changes</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li><b>Improved reference counting</b>. Quite a lot effort has
+been put to handle correctly reference counting on services, tools and
+algorithms. In general, the user should "release" services that has
+been located and used during the execution at the finalize() method. If
+the release is not done, the service will not be destroyed at the end
+of the execution of the program, and thus showing as a possible memory
+leak. If an excessive number of releases is done a premature
+destruction may happen with unpredictable behavior. </li>
+ <li><b>New way to handle projects with CMT</b>. The Gaudi project
+is being released in a different directory root with the project
+version number in its name (/GAUDI_v11r0) and a single version of each
+package. This implies to change the CMTPATH accordantly. For more
+details look at Florence Ranjard <a
+ href="http://documents.cern.ch/cgi-bin/setlink?base=agenda&categ=a021359&id=a021359s1t14/transparencies">presentation</a>.
+In practice:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Version numbers have been removed from the "use"
+statements in the requirements files of individual packages. The
+versions are fix using the <a
+ href="http://proj-gaudi.web.cern.ch/proj-gaudi/Doxygen/v11r0/cmt/requirements">Gaudi
+requirement</a> file. Beware that "old" versions in user's private
+areas may be used by mistake. </li>
+ <li>The user will have to setup the CMTPATH to contain the
+directory where this version is installed. This can be done by "source
+$Gaudi_release_area/GaudiEnv/v11r0/cmt/setup.csh"</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>This version compiles with gcc 3.2. </li>
+ <li>Removed -Bsymbolic link flag for component libraries. This
+flag is suspected of producing memory leaks. </li>
+ <li>ApplicationMgr re-factoring. Removed direct implementation of
+many interfaces by the ApplicationMgr, it delegates now to other
+objects. </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h3><b>New functionality</b><br>
+ </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Controlling the output level of components without
+properties. Introduced new properties to MessageSvc.<br>
+MessageSvc.setVerbose += {"name1", "name2"};<br>
+ (or setDebug, setInfo, setWarning, setError,
+setFatal, setAlways ) </li>
+ <li>Added a more complete algorithm "GaudiAlg/GaudiAlgorithm.h"
+that can be used as base class for user algorithms. See <a
+ href="http://proj-gaudi.web.cern.ch/proj-gaudi/Doxygen/v11r0/doc/html/class_gaudi_algorithm.html">documentation</a>
+for details. </li>
+ <li>Added function format(string fmt, ...) that can be used to
+format messages<br>
+ within the MsgStream class. </li>
+ <li>New minimization tool with GSL added in package GaudiGSL. The
+abstract interface is available <a
+ href="http://proj-gaudi.web.cern.ch/proj-gaudi/Doxygen/v11r0/doc/html/class_i_func_minimum.html">GaudiGSL/IFuncMinimum.h</a>.</li>

+ - requirements: use v*
+
+================ GaudiAlg v6r2 =======================================
+! 2002-09-27 - Pere Mato
+ - Added new base class GaudiAlgorithm developed originally in the context of
+ the LHCb Calorimeter (Ivan Belyaev [Ivan.Belyaev@cern.ch])
+
+ The most essential features
+
+ 1) 3 predefined properties: a) "Input", b) "Output", c) "Detector"
+ for value of each property the special accessor is defined:
+ inputData(), outputData(), detData()
+
+ 2) initialize method prints the values of all used properties
+ in MSG::DEBUG mode
+
+ 3) Simplified error/warning/exceptions/printing:
+
+ StatusCode sc = ... ;
+ if( sc.isFailure() ) { return Error("something wrong here!",sc);}
+ ...
+ if( sc.isFailure() ) { return Warning("something wrong here!",sc);}
+
+ Each errors and warning are counted internally and at the end
+ one has the full printout of all errors, warnings and exceptions.
+
+ The actual error message is extended with the name the actual
+ type (RTTI) of the algorithm
+
+ 4) Easy way to deal with exceptions (catch, throw, re-throw)
+
+ a) throw the exception:
+
+ if( sc.isFailure() ) { return Exception(" something wrong here!");}
+
+ "Return" here is artificial. Nothing is actually returned.
+ and exception is thrown
+
+ b) catch and rethrow the exceptions
+ try { ... }
+ catch( const GaudiException& e1 ) {
+ /* do something here */
+ /// rethrow the exception (if needed)
+ return Exception(" coudl not recove Gaudi exception, rethrow it ", e1 );
+ }
+ catch( const std::exception& e2 ) {
+ /* do something here */
+ /// rethrow the exception (if needed)
+ return Exception(" could not recove the std::exception, rethrow it ", e2 );
+ }
+ catch( ... ) {
+ /* do something here */
+ /// rethrow the exception (if needed)
+ return Exception(" could not recove the unknown exception ");
+ }
+
+
+ 5) easy ("1 line") access to the data, e.g.
+
+ const MCParticles* particles = get( eventSvc() , inputData() , particles );
+
+ In the case of errors, method throws an exception.
+ Error message is printed.
+ One does not need to check the value of pointer against null.
+ For "DEBUG" output level the actual data type and location will be
+ printed.
+
+ 6) easy ("one line) registration of object into GTES:
+
+ MCParticles* particles = ... ;
+ StatusCode sc = put( particles , outputData() );
+
+ In the case of errors, method throws an exception.
+ Error message is printed.
+ One does not need to check the return value.
+ For "DEBUG" output level the actual data type and
+ location will be printed.
+
+
+ 7) easy ("one line") access to tools:
+
+ IMyTool* mytool1 = tool( "some combination of type and name" , mytool1 , this ) ;
+ IMyTool* mytool2 = tool( "some type", "some name" , mytool2 , this ) ;
+
+ Both methods throw exception for unlocated tools.
+ Type coudl be "Type" or "Type/Name" , Name could be "Name" or "",
+ and any combination is possible and has sence.
+ It is useful if one specify Type, Name or Type/Name from properties.
+ The methods are able to decoder properly all these cases.
+ For "DEBUG" output level the actual tool type and name will be printed.
+
+ 8) Assertions
+
+ StatusCode sc = ... ;
+ Assert( sc.isSuccess() , " soem failure occurs! " );
+
+ Assertions are efficient (they are inlined), they do not
+ result in significant performance degradation and could be
+ used for all purposes.
+
+! 2002-09-24 - Pere Mato
+ - Changes to clean the reference counting and memory deallocation
+ detected by the "valgrind" tool. Changed files: Sequencer.cpp
+
+================ GaudiGSL v2r0 =======================================
+! 2002-09-27 - Ivan Belyaev & Kirill Miklyaev
+ - new minimization tool is added
+ GaudiGSL/IFuncMinimum.h the abstract interface
+ src/FuncMinimum.h,.cpp the concrete implementation
+ of minimization tool
+
+ Example of the configuration of minimization tool:
+
+// choice of underlying minimization algorithms:
+// (1) conjugate_fr ( default )
+// (2) conjugate_pr
+// (3) vector_bfgs
+// (4) steepest_descendent
+ToolSvc.FuncMinimum.Algorithm = "conjugate_fr" ; /// default value
+
+/// declare maximum of iteration
+ToolSvc.FuncMinimum.Iteration = 1000 ; // default value is 200
+
+/// declare the absolute tolerance for the Euclidean norm of the gradient
+ToolSvc.FuncMinimum.Gradient = 1e-10 ; // defualt value

+ System.cpp ->@System
+ Debugger.cpp ->@System
+ Memory.cpp ->@System
+ Timing.cpp ->@System
+ ModuleInfo.cpp ->@System
+ Win32PsApi.h ->@System
+ ProcessDescriptor.h ->@System
+ ProcessDescriptor.cpp ->@System
+
+ -@System:
+ Major code reshuffeling.
+ - Static class was changed to namespace. This will make it much simpler to
+ extend the functionality without actually having the default header System.h.
+ System.h containes the declarations of all functions in a backwards-compatible way.
+ - All other functionality was factorized out:
+ Memory.h/cpp Info about memory consumption
+ Timing.h/cpp Info about time consumption
+ ModuleInfo.h/cpp Info about running modules
+ Debugger.h/cpp Invoke debugger from running program (NT only)
+ ProcessDescriptor.h/cpp **Internal** access to process specific information
+ + Win32Api.h as it is exported by Linux/NT. This header is PURELY internal
+ and should never be included directly.
+
+ - Moved files ISolid.h, IPVolume.h, ILVolume.h, IDetectorElement.h, IGeometryInfo.h
+ ITransportSvc.h to the DesDesc package. Forward links to the new position have been
+ left in place.
+
+ - Implemented PropertyMgr::setProperty( const std::string& n, const std::string& v )
+ - Properly implement the macro QUOTEDELEMENTINPUT.
+ CTDay ir right when he quotes that this is "HACK Big Time". It's also undebuggable.
+
+ - Corrected bug reported by O. Callot that the OutputLevel was not working
+ for Algorithms.
+
+ - ARM page 210 tweaks to IToolFactory.h to avoid compiler warnings. Add
+ DECLARE_ALGTOOL(X) and DECLARE_TOOL(X) macros to DeclareFactoryEntries.h
+
+ - Changes for Solaris support, which is incomplete. The package compiles on
+ this platform, but some of the required template specialization "hacks" are
+ not fully understood and need to be revisited. Run-time debugging hasn't
+ yet begun.
+ - Changes to avoid compiler warning messages. These are all due to function
+ overloading across class hierarchies. The policy is described on Page 210
+ of the ARM. It's not yet clear whether these are compatible with the Visual
+ C++ compiler on NT. Modified files:
+ GenericLink.h IAlgFactory.h IAuditorFactory.h IDataDirectory.h
+ IFactory.h IHistogramSvc.h ISvcFactory.h ObjectContainerBase.h
+ ObjectFactory.h ObjectList.h ObjectVector.h
+ - Changes to support the scripting service. SimpleProperties now support
+ callback handlers for both reading and updating. The IProperty interface
+ has been extended to allow more flexible setting & retrieving of properties
+ from streams and strings. Modified files:
+ IProperty.h Property PropertyMgr PropertyVerifier
+ - Add support for explicitly specifying the CLID and name of the root
+ object in the transient event store (defaults are CLID_Event and "/Event").
+ Modified files:
+ DataSvc IDataManagerSvc
+ - Other details:
+ AlgTool Algorithm Auditor Service
+ Support new IProperty interface. Use function template for
+ declareProperty. Support deferred service instantiation in service
+ accessors.
+ FactoryTable.h
+ Fix compiler warning because of missing comment characters
+ System.cpp
+ Minor tweak to avoid SOlaris compiler warning.
+
+
+ - Changes to deal with the template specialization in the new version of GNU c++ compiler
+
+ - Modified System.cpp. Added suffix in the DLL name when loading
+
+ - Changed CLID& by CLID in Converter base class to avoid weird problems with some
+ converters in Linux.
+ - Corrected bug in Algorithm::service()
+ - In Bootstrap.h, added static method Gaudi::svcLocator() to get the ISvcLocator*
+ in isolation.
+ - In ISvcLocation.h added a templated method ISvcLocator::service() to facilitate
+ retrival of services.
+
+ - GaudiKernel/IGiGa*.h - update include file path to new schema.
+
+ <<< Changes are not compatible with existing packages. Everything should be re-built >>>>
+ - Eliminated static library GaudiBase.
+ - Eliminated the constant data files IInterface.cpp and Kernel.cpp
+ - Renamed class IID to InterfaceID
+ - Added de definition of the InterfaceID (IID) constants in each interface Ixxxx.h file
+ - Introduced new file ClassID.h which constains some the definition of CLID and some basic
+ constants.
+ - Changes asked by Vanya for the classes: ILVolume, IPVolume, ISolid, IGeometryInfo,
+ IDetectorElement
+
+ - Renamed Time::Time class by TimePoint class
+ - The constants Time::time_absolutepast and Time::time_absolutefutre are now defined
+ in the TimePoint.h. The namespace Time has been removed.
+
+ - Cleanup and adaptation to the new way of documenting the code based
+ on Doxygen (JavaDoc style)
+ - Incorparated changes done by D.Quarrie in the old LHCb repository
+
+ - Add isInitialized() and seInitialized() member functions and handling to prevent
+ multiple initialization attempts on the same Algorithm. This protection is needed
+ when scripting is in use.
+
+ - Implemented a new service called ScriptingSvc. This is a service (with an
+ initial implementation based on Python), which provides a scripting capability
+ at run-time as opposed to the JobOptionsSvc which is limited to run startup
+ time. This service has entailed some changes to the Gaudi kernel classes, which
+ are mainly extensions to existing interfaces, but with some backwards-compatible
+ rework of several of the Property classes.
+ + Added new interface: IScriptingSvc
+
+ - Auditor/Auditor
+ Same changes as for Algorithm.
+
+ - Interfaces/IServiceLocator
+ Add list<IService*> getServices() for symmetry with the IAlgManager.
+
+ - JobOptionsSvc
+ A major rework of the Property class hierarchy to better support the scripting
+ interface. For the most part the changes are backwards compatible, with the
+ exception that bounds checking involves use of a verifier(). Note that the
+ PropertyRef.cpp & .h files are obsolete since that class is now typedef'd.
+ The PropertyList class for nested properties is not yet functional. Both of
+ these classes have been retained but bypassed in the build for now.
+
+ - Kernel/Service
+ Replace overloaded declareProperty function by function template.
+ Add PropertyMgr* accessor
+
+ - ApplicationMgr/AppMgrUI
+ Add AppMgrUI class as intermediate class between IAppMgrUI and
+ ApplicationMgr. This simplifies the scripting interface.
+
+ - Moved in ObjectVector<T> and ObjectList<T> from the LHCbEvent package.
+ Removed iterator from ObjectContainerBase class
+
+ - Various changes needed for CMT v1r7 and Nmake
+
+ - Moved *.cpp into src/static/ and src/Lib/
+ - Moved *.h, *.icpp and GaudiFactory.cpp into GaudiKernel/
+ - Updated #include statements
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 GaudiSvc v5
+
+ - HistogramSvc: Remove redundant trailing "/" character in histogram paths.
+
+ - Some restructuring done on the ApplicationMgr.
+ New classes: EventLoopMgr, MinimalEventLoopMgr, GaudiEventLoopMgr with increasing
+ specialization. The ApplicationMgr delegates the Event Loop functionality to these ones.
+ AppMgrRunable it is the default runable (implements IRunable) that is activated
+ after the initialization is complete. It calls the nextEvent() of the ApplicationMgr.
+ - Changed in HistogramSvc and NTupleSvc the strtream for convering numbers to strings for
+ the itoa() function.
+
+ - Adapted to the new method IProperty::getProperty(const string&, string&)
+ - Adapted to the new method IAppMgrUI::state()
+
+ - ApplicationMgr
+ Add a temporary "Exit" command for force program termination from within
+ a script. This will be replaced at some point once we have proper control
+ mechanisms in place.
+
+ Add an update callback handler to the OutStream Property. Allow the
+ HistogramPersistencySvc to be specified as "NONE" to avoid having
+ to specify one of "HBOOK" or "ROOT" when none is required.
+
+ - JobOptionsSvc
+ Add source type "NONE" to bypass usage of the PropertyCompiler
+ and thence result in the catalog being empty.
+
+ - Changes to the job options processing
+ - Make the job options service re-entrant.
+ Removed all static storage, which prevented reading the options twice.
+ - Add value-of operator '@' to assign a job option the value of another
+ option
+ Usage:
+ MyAlg.OutputLevel = @MessageSvc.OutputLevel;
+ ApplicationMgr.TopAlgs += { @ApplicationMgr.ExtSvc };
+ Note:
+ The value-of of a vector addresses the elements, not the vector itself.
+ - Allow reset of vector lists to empty lists.
+ Usage:
+ ApplicationMgr.TopAlgs += {};
+
+ - Corrected bug in EventSelector.cpp which core dumped when accessing a non
+ existing file.
+
+ - ApplicationMgr
+ Added update callback handlers to "TopAlg", "ExtSvc" and "Dlls" properties.
+ This allows them to be updated at run-time by the scripting interface, and
+ to act immediately upon such updates. Also added a "Go" Property which
+ allows minimal control handling. This will probably be replaced in the
+ future. Interchange the sequence of initialization of Algorithms and
+ Output Streams to allow the latter to reference the former. Deal with
+ the expanded IProperty interface.
+ - EventSelectorDataStream
+ Deal with support for renaming the root object of the transient event
+ store. Use StringProperty declaration from Property.h instead of its own.
+ - HistogramSvc
+ Deal with compiler warnings on Linux & Solaris related to ARM Page 210.
+ - OutputStream
+ Add "AcceptAlgs","RequireAlgs", "VetoAlgs" properties. This allows filtering
+ depending on the filter passed flags from the specified Algorithms. The
+ event will be written to the output stream if _any_ of the Algorithms in
+ the "AcceptAlgs" list was executed for this event and has its filter
+ passed set. The event will only be written if _all_ of the Algorithms in
+ the "RequireAlgs" list were executed and had their filter passed set. The
+ event will not be written if _any_ of the Algorithms in the "VetoAlgs"
+ list was executed and has its filter passed set. Combinations are logically
+ and'ed. The default remains to output every event. These properties have
+ update callback handlers associated with them so they can be modified at
+ run-time by the scripting interface and have an immediate effect.
+ - HepRndmEngin & HepRndmEngines
+ Correct a bug in the declaration of rndm( ) function which does not correctly
+ override the parent version.
+
+ - Modified StatEntity.h by Vanya
+
+ - Changes needed to accomodate to the new GaudiKernel that avoids the static library. This
+ means that the IIDs are now a static constant in the .h file instead of accessing them
+ by and external declaration.
+ - FactoryTable is cleaned each time a dynamic library gets loaded
+
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 GaudiAud v3
+
+ - New Auditor MemStatAuditor made by I. Belyaev added to the package
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 GaudiAlg v3
+
+ - Small changes to make it compile in NT
+ - Add update callback handler for "Members" and "BranchMembers" properties.
+ This allows them to be changed at run-time via the scripting interface.
+ - Rename *.cxx to *.cpp to conform to GAUDI file name conventions.
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 GaudiTools v3
+
+ - Accommodate to the changes in GaudiKernel. Removed extern declaration for IIDs.
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 GaudiNagC v5r3p1
+
+ - Adapted to CMT v1r7
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 GaudiDb v3
+
+ - Adapted to the new method IProperty::getProperty(const string&, string&)
+
+ - Add support to re-locate (rename etc) files.
+ References are now consistent within the same file.
+
+ - Changes for Solaris support.
+ - Changes to avoid compiler warnings (see ARM Page 210) on Linux & Solaris
+ - Changes to allow the CLID and name of the root object to be specified.
+ The defaults remain as CLID_Event and "/Event".
+
+ - Changed to accomodate to the changes in GaudiKernel.
+
+ - Add macros to DbContainerConverter.h and DbGenericConverter.h that support
+ classes in different namespaces.
+
+ - Package supporting data persistency within the Gaudi framework.
+ Result of the splitting of the package DbCnv (v3) from LHCb.
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 HbookCnv v9
+
+ - Support multiple blocks per ntuple. Fix some minor character string handling
+ problems.
+ - Fixes to avoid having to specify a histogram output file even if only ntuples
+ are being created. Template specialization tweaks for Solaris.
+ - Accomodate to the changes in GaudiKernel. Removed the extern declarations to access
+ IIDs.
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 RootHistCnv v3
+
+ - Fix problems when using ROOT for both event and histogram persistency.
+ - Tweaks to NTupleINfo.h for template handling on Solaris.
+ - Accomodate to the changes in GaudiKernel. Removed the extern declarations to access
+ IIDs.
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010316 SIPython v1r1
+
+ - Corrected some problems for NT
+ - Eliminated from the cvs repository unnessary files
+ - Add support for the "theApp.Exit" command as a temporary method of forcing
+ program termination from within a script.
+ - Add handling for direct execution of a script from the C++ side.
+
+ - This package is an implementation of the ScriptingSvc based on the Python
+ scripting language. The package name derives from "Scripting Interface,
+ Python". Note that many of the files are in fact generic, and might be
+ moved to a SIGeneric package in the future, leaving only the minimal
+ Python-specific C++ file and Python scripts.

+package Gaudi
+package manager: Pere Mato
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010706 GaudiKernel v10
+
+- Changes in interfaces needed for improved interactivity support :
+ IService.h : Added new method reinitialize() to allow services to
+ take into account changes after the first time initialization
+ IAlgorithm.h : Added beginRun() and endRun() methods. These are called each time
+ the event loop is executed.
+ IEventProcessor.h : Added executeRun() and nextEvent() methods. This is to
+ eliminate the need to use the IAppMgrUI interface in the
+ EventLoopMgr components.
+ IAppMgrUI.h : Renamed method state() to stateName().
+ IScriptingSvc.h : Deleted
+
+- Changes in support classes for transient data stores
+
+ Bootstrap.h/cpp : Allow to set the instance of the service locator
+ in case several ApplicationMgr instances are present.
+ ObjectVector.h,
+ ObjectList.h : Add forward typedefs for pointer and const_pointer
+ (Requested by P.Calafiura/LBL)
+ RefTable.h : Implement serialize methods
+ RegistryEntry.h/cpp,
+ DataSvc.h/cpp : Implement several bug-fixes
+ - allow for objects in locations like /AA/BB/BB/BB/...
+ - allow to access objects with omission of the root
+ directory: "/Event/MC" is equivalent to "MC"
+ - execution optimization
+ SmartDataObjectPtr.h : Fix annoying compiler warning
+ SmartRefBase.h,
+ SmartRef.h : operator==() was badly implemented (Found by O.Callot)
+ strcasecmp.h : WIN32 needs an additional #include <cstring>
+
+- Added remote properties functionality. Changed PropertyMgr and base classes Service
+ and Algorithm
+- Added MsgStream::endmsg with same functionality as endreq. (Request from ATLAS)
+- Using AIDA Historams instead of LHCb private ones. The existing include files
+ include the new ones but generating a warning. The IAnnotation interface is added
+ because it does not exists in the used AIDA release
+
+- Fixed bug reported by M. Cattaneo. The OutputLevel of AlgTools was not
+ set correctly if the parent Algorithm didn't set it explicitely.
+
+- Allow access to data store items without specification of the top level
+ directory. It is equivalent to specify an histogram like "/stat/simple/1"
+ or simply "simple/1". Note that the the entire prefix "/stat/" must be
+ omitted. The use is backwards compatible.
+
+- Added a qualifier ALWAYS to the message service specifying that a given
+ message should always be printed.
+ ie.
+ MsgStream log (msgSvc(), "Name")
+ log << MSG::ALWAYS << "Hello." << endreq;
+ will result in
+ Name SUCCESS Hello.
+ and will not be omitted.
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ GaudiKernel/DllMain.icpp WINNT: Processhandle should no longer be closed
+ since the handle is shared for all DLLs.
+ GaudiKernel/INTuple.h Interface extended to directly use NTuple pointer
+ to write/read n-tuple. It is no longer necessary to
+ use the n-tuple service for these actions.
+ NTupleImplementation.h/cpp dto.
+ GaudiKernel/SmartDataPtr.h Bug fix:
+ SmartDataPtr<Object> obj (...)
+ if ( obj ) {...}
+ Check succeeded if object is present however
+ had bad type. Now this check checks for the
+ presence of the object AND the data type.
+ Moved pointer to object from SmartDataObjectPtr
+ to SmartDataStorePtr (template class).
+ Also moved corresponding check operators.
+ GaudiKernel/SmartDataLocator.h dto.
+ GaudiKernel/SmartDataStorePtr.h dto.
+ GaudiKernel/SmartDataObjectPtr.h dto.
+ GaudiKernel/SmartDataObjectPtr.cpp dto.
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010706 GaudiSvc v6
+
+- Bug Fix in JobOptions. Scientific notation in floats/doubles is now working correctly
+- Fixed problem "Gaudi jobs do not fail if the job options service fails
+ to set an option" CT0000000060711 by M. Cattaneo
+- Fixed bug on Histograms projections introduced when going to AIDA
+
+- Minor bug fixes to logic for the interactivity support (scripting).
+- Minor tweaks to avoid warning messages with gcc 2.95.2.
+
+- Number of changes needed for the interactivity support (scripting)
+ the ApplicationMgr and EventLoopMgr make use of the newly added method
+ reinitialize() to take into account changes in the configuration done
+ by the user interaction like adding new services or algorithms. These
+ new components are initialized in the reinitialize() method.
+- Deleted GaudiEventLoopMgr class and moved its functionality to EventLoopMgr.
+- Implemented IEventProcessor::executeRun() in ApplicationMgr and EventLoopMgr
+ to call beginRun() and endRun() to all Algorithms.
+- Callbacks (handlers) in AppicationMgr to support scripting have been simplified.
+- HistogramSvc implements reinitialize()
+
+- ChronoStatSvc : modification for improved printout
+
+- Dll/GaudiSvc_Load.cpp : Add new factory for event tag collections
+ NTuples/* : update to separate event tag collections from
+ NTuples. NTuple persistency is now completely
+ steered by the option
+ ApplicationMgr.HistogramPersistency
+ See mail of D.Rousseau in GAUDI_DEVELOPERS
+- PersistencySvc/EvtCollectionStream.cpp
+ Update for separation of NTuples and
+ event tag collections
+
+- Modified HistogramSvc to use the AIDA interfaces (1.0). This required quite a lot
+ of changes due to the fact that setTitle() method was not definied. Instead the
+ IAnnotation has been used.
+
+- Allow Histograms and N-tuples to be booked without the top level directory
+ ie. without always specifying "/stat/....". The specification of an histogram
+ such as "/stat/simple/1" is now equivalent to "simple/1". The use of
+ histograms and N-tuples is backwards compatible.
+
+- NTupleSvc/NTupleSvc.cpp Simplification using changes in
+ GaudiKernel v10
+- EventSelector/EventSelectorDataStream.cpp Recognize SICB file type also for
+ specs like:
+ "DATAFILE='xxx.dat' TYP='SICB'"
+ is now equivalent to
+ "FILE='xxx.dat'"
+
+- Fixed bug concerning histograms being saved to disk before Algoritms are
+ finalized, reported by Stefan Piperov (HARP). Changed GaudiEventLoopMgr.cpp
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010706 HbookCnv v10
+
+- Introduced new option to Hbook histogram persistency service
+ to steer the handling of row-wise N-tuples, because many people
+ complained about the additional column in the N-tuple.
+ The following options are possible:
+ Note: New DEFAULT is FLOAT_ONLY.
+
+ // Old style (uses the additional column - backwards compatible)
+ HistogramPersistencySvc.RowWiseNtuplePolicy = "USE_DATA_TYPES";
+ // Save and retrieve all variables as NTuple::Item<float> ONLY
+ HistogramPersistencySvc.RowWiseNtuplePolicy = "FLOAT_ONLY";
+ // Fortran: IMPLICIT REAL*4 A-H,O-Z
+ // IMPLICIT INTEGER*4 I-N
+ HistogramPersistencySvc.RowWiseNtuplePolicy = "FORTRAN_STYLE";
+ // Hungarian notation: Use variable name to determine type
+ // (first and possibly second char)
+ // Bxxx -> bool
+ // Cxxx -> char
+ // Ixxx -> int
+ // UIxxx-> unsigned int
+ // Fxxx -> float etc.
+ HistogramPersistencySvc.RowWiseNtuplePolicy = "HUNGARIAN_STYLE";
+
+- Fixed problem that histogras and NTuples could not have the same ID
+ HbookDef.h Add declaration for HRESET
+ HConverter.h/cpp Common base class now for NTuples & Histograms.
+ Proper RZ directory handling for both
+ RZ and //PAWC objects. Histograms now
+ temporarily go to the //PAWC/stat/... directory
+ instead of being created in //PAWC, which caused
+ clashes.
+ H1DCnv.h/cpp
+ H1DVarCnv.h/cpp
+ H2DCnv.h/cpp Adjusted to make use of base class HConverter,
+ including proper directory handling.
+ DirectoryCnv.h/cpp Nearly dummy; uses base class HDirectoryCnv
+ PersSvc.cpp Cosmetics
+
+- Changed to use the AIDA interfaces. The IAnnotation is used to obtain the histogram
+ title and histogram id.
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010706 GaudiDb v4
+
+- DbBaseConverter.cpp : Enhanced error printing in case of failures
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010706 GaudiRootDb v4
+
+- Updated for use of ROOT version 3.01
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010706 SIPython v2
+
+- Modify logic to only execute the AppMgr.JobOptionsPath script
+ if none is explicitly specified _and_ the AppMgr.JobOptionsType
+ is set to NONE.
+- Changed to use the IRunable interface.
+- Getting the startup script from the ApplicationMgr options
+
+! ============================================================================
+! 20010706 RootHistCnv v4
+
+- Changed to use AIDA interfaces
+- Modified to not create a directory (/stat) if histograms are at top level
+- Updated for use of ROOT version 3.01

+! ============================================================================
+! 20011129 GaudiKernel v11
+
+ - Many Changes for the DataStore classes re-design. It affects many classes: DataObject,
+ RegistryEntry, Converter, DataSvc and Interfaces: IRegistry, IDataProviderSvc, ...
+ More detailed instruction refer to:
+ http://lhcb-comp.web.cern.ch/lhcb-comp/Frameworks/Gaudi/Gaudi_v9/Changes_cookbook.pdf
+
+ - MsgStream.cpp
+ Any change of the printout level from the application program
+ using MsgStream::setLevel(...) is ignored by the message service.
+ Update the local printout level on a by message bases and restore
+ the previous printout level.
+
+ - NTuple.h
+ the function entries addItem(...) are DEPRECATED for
+ Ntuple columns, which depend on an index column.
+ The replacement is: addIndexedItem(...).
+ This has repeatedly caused confusion for users.
+ Also added doxygen information for these entries.
+
+ - Added initialize() and finalize() methods in IAlgTool interface.
+ - The base class AlgTool implemements them as dummy but allows an implementation
+ of them on specific Algorithm Tools
+ - Removed the need to implement a queryInterface() in specific Algorithm tools. Instead
+ use the expresion declareInterface<Ixxxx>(this) in the constructor.
+ - Added releaseTool() method in IToolSvc.
+
+ - New versions of interfaces:
+ ISvcManager.h (incompatible) Added more functionality to offload ApplicationMgr
+ ISvsLocator.h (compatible) Changed getServices() to const

+ - many small changes: handling of arguments in selfdefined methods, concatenate class descriptions, produce
+ at least one empty constructor, handling and errorhandling of class-attribute 'argList'
+
+ - CppWriter generates an entry (classname - packagename/classname) to the 'Headerdatabase' before writing the cpp
+
+ - Added production of non-standard constructors, destructors, warning at top of file
+
+ - Changed production of serializers in .h-files
+
+ - New package object description based on XML files
