Examine the CVS-commit mail archive containing all CVS commit descriptive messages (since 2/11/96)

Since 0.8.1

• dld library linking moved to arch_spec_f77.mk in SoftRelTools. Mechanism in gnbase/src/GNUmakefile doesn't seem to work now with g++-based linking.
• -lU77 added to arch_spec_f77.mk to fix dtime unresolved on HP
• CVS weirdness resulted in rich.db disappearing from 0.8.1 version when it was deleted from the post-0.8.1 head. To prevent dbin problems in 0.8.1, do 'touch gnbase/rich.db'.
• interdependent mods in gnbase and gnbbg to eliminate aerogel
• many miscellaneous cleanups in gnbase
• many comments on how to use directives added to workdir/sample.cards
• cleanup of old flags in many gnbbg routines. Updating of gnbase/src/bbsim(b)_out.F to include current list of flag-dependent routines.

Since 0.8.0

• Interactive BBSIM crashes in getenv() on SLAC AIX because of multiple inconsistent getenv() versions in system libraries. [What's worse than AIX? AIX at SLAC.] Fixed in 0.8.1

Since 0.7.1

• BEWARE: major cross dependencies in new package versions of DbiEvent, AbsEvent, and *Data: See posting. Latest dbio also needed.
• DbiEvent, XxxData rebuilds: Dependencies may not all be correct in the DbiEvent build procedures. Beware of (and report) dependency failures; when in doubt, touch everything in sight before you rebuild (touch DbiEvent/* XxxData/*)
• head of gnmuon requires head of gnbase (new material added to mate.db)

0.7.1 (Feb 26, 1996)

• Interactive bbsim link on HP (unresolved references): to fix, add

         ifeq ($(BFARCH),HP-UXA)
           override LOADLIBES += -ldld
         endif
  

  to gnbase/src/GNUmakefile (fix committed, but do not check out the head to pick it up). Or see Bob's suggestion on how to do it without editing.

0.6.3 (Feb 5, 1996)

• DIRC crashes in initialization on HP (and OSF?) in this release if set to '2'; '1' is OK.
• If you get an unsatisfied reference HepString::operator==(HepString const &) const, you can fix it with 'addpkg -R clhep ; gmake clhep.lib'
• To limit amount of SVT printout, set the variable print in the ssuse structure to
  int print 000000100 ! print level.
