! =====================================================================
! 20000720 - Gaudi v7

! 20000717 - Radovan Chytracek
  - Fixed inheritance order for DetectorElement class + class ID getters

! 20000710 - Gloria Corti
  - Introduce the interfaces and base classes for the ToolSvc
     new files in Interfaces: IAlgTool.h, IToolFactory.h, IToolSvc.h
     new files in Kernel: AlgTool.h, AlgTool.cpp, ToolFactory.h
     modified IInterface.cpp (in Kernel) to add the IID for IAlgTool,IToolFactory and 
     IToolSvc
  - requirements: introduce AlgTool.cpp in Gaudilib
  - Change obsolete comment in IParticlePropertySvc

! 20000709 - Markus Frank
  - Bug fixes for release
  - Randm number wrapper as described in the Sotfware week

! 20000704 - Pavel Binko
  - Interfaces - the interfaces IAxis, IHistogram and IHistogramSvc
                 have been enhanced by function :
                 - returning all edges in a given axis
                 - setting the histogram title
                 - allowing to register, unregister, retrieve and find
                   a histogram in the transient histogram data store 

! 20000704 - Marco Cattaneo
  - requirements : use LHCbCMT v3r1 (to pick up EXTLIB v2r1)

! 20000630 - Pere Mato
  - Removed implementations of initialize(), finalize() and execute() 
    in Algorithm base class as a response to the e-discussion concerning
    the spelling of such methods.

! 20000622 - Vanya Belyaev
  - System.cpp : introduce "more correct" coefficient between time clocks and seconds :-))

! 20000622 - Vanya Belyaev
  - System.cpp : introduce "correct" coefficient between time clocks and seconds 


! 20000621 - Marco Cattaneo
  - requirements: insert underscore in name of Gaudi_shlibflags macro, 
                  to please CMT v1r5

! 20000617 - Vanya Belyaev
  - Bug fix in Gaudi/System/System.cpp file in method char** System::argv()

! 20000616 - Pere Mato
  - Changed Algorithm base class. Added an error counter and max error 
    limit to allow continuation of trhe program. Default is one.
    Added accessor to RndmGenSvc from base class.

! 20000615 - (Pere Mato, David Quarrie)
  - Changed interface IAlgorithm and base class Algorithm to support 
    Algorithm sequences (Babar style). Added some more algorithm flags
   (enabled, executed, fileter passed, ...) in base class. Added method
    reasetExecuted() in the IAlgorithm interface.
  - Changed IProperty interface to support property browsing. Added the
    following methods:
    const Property& getProperty( const std::string& name ) const = 0;
    const std::vector<Property*>& getProperties( ) const = 0;
  - Changed base class Property to introduce the possibility of asking
    to a property for its type. 
  - Introduced new classes: PropertyList, CommandProperty
    A PropertyList is a Property that contains an array of other properties
    A CommandProperty has a callback function associated that is called 
    when a new value of the property is set.
    The PropertyList can handle property nesting. The name convention is
    that names are separated by ":".  
  - Changed PropertyMgr to base its implementation with PropertyList

! 20000609 - (Markus Frank)
  - Main improvement:
    Implementation of the public part of the random number generator package.

  Besides this I **had** to do some code cleanup:
  - Algorithm.h: Removed Algorithm::create(...) 
    Function was declared but never implemented.
  - IChronoStatSvc.h: "long double" is not really a ansi data type.
    Changed to double.
  - IDataManagerSvc.h
    IID_IDataManagerSvc_NO_ERROR = SUCCESS becomes
    IID_IDataManagerSvc_NO_ERROR = IInterface::SUCCESS
  - ITime.h: use longlong data type from kernel.h instead
    of __int64 and "long long" + #ifdef.
  - PropertyRef.h: Simple typedefs of simple properties.
    e.g. typedef SimplePropertyRef<int> IntegerPropertyRef;
    just as it is done in "Property.h".
  - DataObject.cpp: Actually implement 2 member functions which
    were always in the header, but never made it to code.
  - Kernel.h: If neither Linux nor WIN32 is the platform,
    fix "longlong" to a 64 bit structure capable of holding
    the variable.
  - StreamBuffer.h: Clean up internal classes ContainedLink and 
    IdentifiedLink, get rid of macros
  - Message.h: There is no such class "ostream". Use #include <iostream> instead;
  - MsgStream.h: Added copy constructor
  - NTuple.h:    Get rid of a few macros and write the proper code instead.
  - Get rid of NTupleFile.h and NTupleDirectory.h - should never have 
    been used at all. The classes were always defined in NTuple.h!


! 20000525 

- Fixed template instantiation in Ntuple::Item (For version 6 of Visual C++
- Corrected "OuputLevel" bug in Service.cpp. This would not take into account
  a change in the OuputLevel for services.

- ChronoStatSvc - improved printout (add possibility to output also elapsed 
                  time of the job).
                  by default only used time statistics is printed 
                  optionally system time and elapsed time could be printed 
- requirements: remove GaudiSvc_stamps for non-static linkage (do not force 
                to relink the executable in the case of dynamic loading when 
                shared library is changed)  


! 20000621 - Marco Cattaneo

  being declared in the jobOptions file.

!20000615 Pere Mato
- Changed ApplicationMgr to stop the event loop when execution errors and 
  call resetExecuted() for all top level algorithms.

- This is a new package based on the code provided by David Quarrie (ATLAS)

! =====================================================================
! 20000717 - DetDesc v4
Changes done by Radovan Chytracek

New functionality
-----------------
1. Switched from XML4C & ICU libraries for XML processing to Apache's XML parser for C++
   Xerces-C 1.2.0.

2. The new feature allowing generic detector element conversion has been introduced.
   This feature should be used in cases where either specific information about user defined
   detector elements is not needed (e.g. visualization) or can be ignored (e.g. testing).
   This feature is triggered by the new property of the XmlCnvSvc called "AllowGenericConversion".

Bug fixes
---------

- CLHEP translation vector NAN bug ( appeared after switch to CLEHP 1.5.0.0 )
- Fixed SAX callbacks for XmlDetectorElementCnv and XMLUserDeCnv.
- Fixed order of inheritance for DetectorElement subclasses + class ID getters

! 20002606 Gonzalo Gracia
  Several changes related with the Event Selector:
        Pre-staging of several tapes
        Print Event number on INFO (the frequency of the print-out
         is given by the property Event selector property PrintFreq
        Total number of events to be read in is now a property of Eventselector
        (still should be backwards compatible if somebody defines it
        as an ApplicationMgr property)
  File modified:
        EventSelector.cpp/.h
        JobId.cpp/.h
        Tape.cpp/.h
        SicbEventIterator.h
  New files
        DataFile.h
        Inputdata.h

! 20000622 SicbCnv v7r3 Marco Cattaneo
  - New Fortran routine GetZebraSize.F returns size of ZEBRA COMMON block
  - Modified SicbFortran.h, .cpp, SicbFortranEx.cpp to declare GetZebraSize
  - SicbEventCnvSvc.cpp calls GetZebraSize to get size to declare to UTZEBRA
  - requirements: add underscore to <package>_shlibflags for CMT v1r5

! 20000606 Bruce Hay
  SicbDataObjectCnv.cpp : Added data leaves for L0 data objects

! 20000602 Markus Frank
  Changes necessary to track properly references in
  merged pileup events since banks are no longer 
  contiguous. There is a pending problem with
  all Calorimeter MC banks, where the reference is within a
  data word (LONGREFs), which apparently is not updated
  properly during the pile-up.


Gonzalo Gracia 18/05/2000
  Bug fixed in TopLevel/ReadEvent.F
  Fortran algorithm was unable to read SICB banks
  Changed in the same routine:
  #include "geant321/gcflag.inc"
  to
  #include "inc/gcflag.inc"  
  requirements: dependency on Futio v6r2 needed by the change in ReadEvent.F

! 20000502 
  Minor modification if GaudiGufld to make it 
  compatible with modifications in SICB routine GUFLD

 The hbook file used for NTuples was not closed properly.
 (wrong arguments to HREND(...) call)
 M.Frank

! 20000720 - GaudiExamples v8

! 20000717 - Radovan Chytracek
  Updated DDexample for use of the new feature allowing generic detector element conversion.
  This feature should be used in cases where either specific information about user defined
  detector elements is not needed (e.g. visualization) or can be ignored (e.g. testing).
  This feature is triggered by the new property of the XmlCnvSvc called "AllowGenericConversion".
