! 2007-10-10 - Marco Clemencic & Hubert Degaudenzi
 - fixed linking problems with POOL 2.6.1. Remove unused libraries in
   order to please slc3. Otherwise a dependency to CORAL is added (and
   it is causing problem since --as-needed doesn't exist on that
   platform)

!====================== GaudiPoolDb v2r13 ==============================
! 2007-06-11 - Marco Clemencic & Hubert Degaudenzi
 - fixed load<TYPE> function in PoolDbNTupleCnv.cpp. The "len"
   argument which is passed to the swapFromBuffer method is now an int
   instead of a long. This ensures backward readability for the
   already written data.

! 2007-05-10 - Markus Frank
 - enlarge the limit for the output file size to 500 GBytes.

! 2007-05-07 - Hubert Degaudenzi

 Patch #1053
 - Remove ApplicationMgr.ExtSvc options from tests option files.
 - Remove exlicit loading of dictionaries in tests.
 - Fix bug in PoolDbCnvSvc::connectDatabase, which caused a crash
   through an infinite recursion when a file to be opened using
   an LFN can be resolved using the file catalog, but then does not
   exist. Thanks to Philippe spotting the problem.

! 2007-01-30 - Markus Frank
 Patch #999:
 - Properly implement (previously existing, but not working...) option
   to set database domain options.  To increase e.g. max. file size to
   ~3.5 GB for ROOT set: PoolDbCacheSvc.DomainOpts = {
   "Domain[ROOT_All].TREE_MAX_SIZE=3500000000 TYP=longlong" };

! 2007-02-06 - Hubert Degaudenzi
 - fixed compilation flags for the generation of the dictionary in 32
   bits mode.

!====================== GaudiPoolDb v2r10 ==============================

    converter could not be initialized because missing dictionary by
    call gInterpreter->AutoLoad(class)

! 2006-10-10 - Hubert Degaudenzi
 - removed the use of the environment variable GAUDIPOOLDBROOT in the
   joboption files of the GaudiExamples. Now the GaudiPoolDb package
   has a path_append to add its own settings in the
   JOBOPTIONSSEARCHPATH.

! 2006-09-20 Markus Frank - patch #855
 - Allow to turn OFF the default usage of GFAL.
   Property: PoolDbCacheSvc.UseGFAL default:true
 - Enforce checking of file GUIDS when opening existing files
   Default: GUID match is required.
   Switch off using e.g.: PoolRootTreeEvtCnvSvc.CheckFIDs = false;
 - Allow to fill and remember a map with bad files, which cannot be
   accessed. Removes dramatically printout since the error trace is
   only printed
   -- once per unaccessible data file
   -- once per container

! 2006-09-28 Hubert Degaudenzi
 - removed the ROOT macro files from the cmt directory and place them
   in the new scripts directory.

!====================== GaudiPoolDb v2r6 ==============================
! 2006-08-02 Markus Frank -- patch #816
 - Fix to N-tuple converter when writing multi dimensional stuff
 - Allow conversion service to open files in shared mode (ie. Files do
   not get closed on finalize).
 - If file ids cannot be located in the file catalog, then assume
   that the guid is known to GFAL ie <FID> -> gfal:guid:<FID>.


!====================== GaudiPoolDb v2r5 ==============================
! 2006-07-14 Hubert Degaudenzi
 - change in the POOL interface: pool::DbSession::open() does take a
   void * as argument so the call has been changed to
   pool::DbSession::open(0).

!====================== GaudiPoolDb v2r4 ==============================
! 2006-05-09 Markus Frank
 - patch #724. Do not use anymore SEAL plugin manager for IOHandler
   installation, since this causes malicious interference with Cintex
   when used from the python prompt. The IOHandlers get directly
   installed in PoolDbCacheSvc::initialize.

   Removed files:
   src/PoolDbModules - no more SEAL plugin manager!
   GaudiPoolDb/PoolDbCustomStreamer - obsolete
   src/PoolDbCustomStreamer - obsolete

!====================== GaudiPoolDb v2r3 ==============================
! 2006-03-09 Markus Frank
 patch #693:
 - Add support for objects in N-tuples. Note: This only works for
   NTuple::Item.  NTuple::Array and NTuple::Matrix is __NOT__
   supported for objects. If you need this functionality store an
   std::vector<Object*>. See GaudiExamples/POOLIO/EvtCollectionWrite
   for an example of the usage.
 - Add property AgeLimit to the PoolDbCnvSvc. This allows to defer the
   closing of databases.
 - Tests: update + removal of CLHEP dependency. Change options to use
   the precompiled dictionaries from Relax.
 - Remove patches for ROOT 3.

! 2006-02-02 - Markus Frank
 - Modify printout when unable to load dictionary shared library
 - Adapt tests in requirements to use Reflex from ROOT

!====================== GaudiPoolDb v2r2 ==============================
! 2005-10-19 - Hubert Degaudenzi
 - adapted package to the ROOT::Reflex package.

!====================== GaudiPoolDb v2r1 ==============================

  - PoolDbCnvSvc/PoolDbCacheSvc: Fix error on DatabaseConnectionPolicy
    when setting setWriteModeForExisting
  - TODO: There are problems unloading certain dictionary libraries,
    which manifest itself in a crash after returning from main().

!======================= GaudiPoolDb v1r8 =============================
! 2004-07-06 - Pere Mato
 - requirements: adapted to use new LCGCMT interface packages

! 2004-06-20 - Markus Frank
 - After endless fights, get rid of the secondary level POOL cache.
   No effect to end - users, but let the session, transaction and file
   catalog be done directly by the pool persistency service rather
   than the cache. Advantage: let's objects being read twice....
 - Adopt the changes provided by G.Barrand for MAC OSX in PoolDbCacheSvc.cpp
   to enable late creation of the pool context. Should solve the problem
   of bad synchronization of depending constructors.

 - PoolDb_dict.h: added dummy implementation for missing CLHEP methods

!======================= GaudiPoolDb v1r6 =============================
! 2004-04-06 - Markus Frank
 - GaudiPoolDbRoot.opts - set the DomainOpts
 - PoolDb_dict.xml - add CLHEP::HepGenMatrix::Alloc

!======================= GaudiPoolDb v1r5 ================================
! 2004-02-16 - Markus Frank
 - Implement temporary fix to allow access to existing POOL files.
   This fix must be removed better sooner than later.

! 2004-02-14 - Markus Frank
 - PoolDbCnvSvc & PoolDbCacheSvc:
   Move functionality from the conversion service to the cache service
   to customize backend persistency
 - PoolDbBaseCnv: Improved handling for references.
 - PoolDbCustomStreamer: Fix bug which occurrs only on linux in optimized mode (!!).
   For HepMatrices/vectors the data got scrambled on reading.
 - Update on test program.

!======================= GaudiPoolDb v1r3 ================================
! 2004-01-23 - Markus Frank
 - PoolDbBaseCnv - print a message when address cannot be registered and
                   ignore the failures on address creation (ie if no con-
                   version service is present).

!======================== GaudiPoolDb v1r2 ==================================
! 2004-01-13 - Markus Frank
 - Support for 2 simultaneous catalogs:
    - 1 read-only catalog (may be hosted by a web server if xml file)
    - 1 writeable catalog used to register output files
 - Support to assign technology dependent options to the low level
   POOL implementation for domains, databases and containers.

! 2004-01-13 - Markus Frank
 - Remove print statements to std::cout if possible.

! 2004-01-12 - Markus Frank
 - With POOL-Root usage:
   Improve write speed: Allow to select commit call:
   If the option "SafeTransactions" of the PoolCnvSvc is set to true, flush
   the file for every event (Big performance penalty!). The default just
   saves to the branch buffers and lets ROOT decide when to do an autosave.

! 2003-12-16 - Florence RANJARD
 - requirements - add CLHEP
                  apply pattern lcg_register_module

                  use Gaudi pattern to build the library

!======================== GaudiPoolDb v1r0 ======================================
! 20030419 - PoolDb v1r0
  Package supporting data persistency within the Gaudi framework
  using the POOL persistency framework

!===========================================================================
