SUMMARY OF BABAR RELEASE NOTES - curtesy of Doug Johnson ============================================================================== >>>>> 22.3.0 New numbered release for the online - Needed to enable narrowing the SVT DAQ window, which may be needed to fight deadtime * Expect this to be needed during Run 6, TechCoord has set target of being able to operate this way by early July (approximately 7/7) - Includes configuration database schema for the new capability of recording the FCDM time delay setting - Matching online release will include capacity to validate that this configuration matches the FCDM setup at Configure time >>>>> 22.3.0a Bug fixes on top of 22.3.0. >>>>> 22.3.0b Release for initial processing of SVT reduced-window data >>>>> 22.3.0c Release for reprocessing of final three weeks of Run 6.
