Package: GaudiUtils
Package manager : Marco Clemencic

============================== GaudiUtils v3r12 ==============================
! 2011-03-23 - Marco Clemencic
 - Fixed VC9 warnings.
   - Replaced C-style string manipulation and formatting with C++ (and Boost)
     implementations.
   - Disabled some warnings.

============================== GaudiUtils v3r11 ==============================
! 2011-01-11 - Marco Clemencic
 - Fixed some ICC remarks.

============================== GaudiUtils v3r10 ==============================
! 2010-09-20 - Marco Clemencic
 - Fixed bug #70956: Add method to find the reason for termination of the
                     event loop
   - Use the new return code constants in case of signal
     (Gaudi::Utils::StopSignalHandler).

============================== GaudiUtils v3r9 ===============================
! 2010-07-14 - Marco Clemencic
 - Another small fix for Xerces-C 3.1.

! 2010-05-27 - Chris Jones
 - Patch #4045: Utilities to set histogram axis and bin labels for GaudiUtils

! 2010-05-17 - Marco Clemencic
 - Adepted to work with Xerces-C 3.1.0 (as well as 2.8.0).

============================== GaudiUtils v3r8 ===============================
! 2010-04-23 - Marco Clemencic
 - Minor fix to compile with gcc 4.5.0

! 2010-04-22 - Marco Clemencic
 - Set the return code of the application to (128 + signal number) when a signal
   is trapped by the StopSignalHandler.

! 2010-04-21 - Marco Clemencic
 - Changed the messages in StalledEventMonitor to report about memory usage and
   not stop printing after 3 calls.

! 2010-04-20 - Marco Clemencic
 - Removed ICC warnings and remarks.

! 2010-04-19 - Marco Clemencic
 - Moved the EventTimeoutWatchdog thread from the EventLoopMgr to a dedicated
   service in GaudiUtils (StalledEventMonitor).

! 2010-04-16 - Marco Clemencic
 - Modified the implementation of the fix to bug #62374 (Handling of signal
   SIGXCPU).
   The new implementation is based on a couple of extra services instead of
   being integrated in EventLoopMgr (less intrusive).
   - Gaudi::Utils::SignalMonitorSvc (implementing the interface ISignalMonitor)
     is a service that just keep track of the occurrences of the requested
     signals and, optionally, propagates them to the previously registered
     handlers (if any).
   - Gaudi::Utils::StopSignalHandler uses SignalMonitorSvc to check if any of
     the signals in the list (property) "Signals" has been received and trigger
     a stop of the event loop in that case (during the BeginEvent incident).

============================== GaudiUtils v3r7 ===============================
! 2010-03-16 - Vanya Belyaev
 - Patch #3840: Fix for bug #59009
   - HistoDump:
     Rename the functions with return value of std::ostream&, they produce
     messages to std::err in python.
     Since "std::ostream&" variants are useless to python, just rename them,
     thus avoiding the dictionaries.

                     GaudiPython::PyAlg<TYPE>

! 2009-04-06 - Vanya Belyaev
 - Patch #2930: improve the manipulations with AIDA histograms
   - GaudiUtils/HistoStats.h, src/Lib/HistoStats.cpp
     1) fix the bug in evaluation of error in kurotsis (thanks to Dmitry Golubkov!)
     2) fix the bug in evaluation of error in moment
     3) add new methods for class Gaudi::Utils::HistoStats
        sumBinHeightErr          : the error for AIDA::IHistogram1D::sumBinHeights
        sumAllBinHeightErr       : the error for AIDA::IHistogram1D::sumAllBinHeights
        overflowEntriesFrac      : the fraction of overflow entries
        underflowEntriesFrac     : the fraction of underflow entries
        overflowEntriesFracErr   : the (binomial) error on fraction of overflow entries
        underflowEntriesFracErr  : the (binomial) error on fraction of underflow entries
        overflowIntegralFrac     : the fraction of overflow integral
        underflowIntegralFrac    : the fraction of underflow integral
        overflowIntergalFracErr  : the error on fraction of overflow integral
        underflowIntegralFracErr : the error on fraction of underflow integral
        nEntries                 : number of entries for certain ranges
        nEntriesFrac             : fraction entries for certain ranges
        nEntriesFracErr          : the (binomial) error for the fraction entries for certain ranges
   - GaudiUtils/HistoTableFormat.h, src/Lib/HistoTableFormat.cpp
     1) Add the possibility to print new estimators from class HistoStats.
        The overall number of the predefined fields in table printout
        now is 26.. see GaudiUtils/HistoTableFormat.h for the list
     2) add few new reference formats:
          StatOnly  : #entries, mean, rms, skewness & kurtosis
          Stat1     : similar to StatOnly but with errors
          ShapeOnly : mean.rms, skewness,kurtosis, overflow&underflow fractions
          Shape     : similar for ShapeOnly but with errors
       "Shape"-format are very useful for comparison of histograms by shapes,
       ignoring the normalization

   An unsuccessful catalog lookup is not an error, but rather a normal operation
   if e.g. the existence of a file should be checked.

! 2007-12-12 - Marco Clemencic
 - patch #1585.
   Fixed warnings about breaking of strict-aliasing rules (gcc 4.1 optimized).

================ GaudiUtils v1r2 ======================================
! 2007-09-19 - Vanya Belyaev
 - Fixed bug #29969 (Error compiling GaudiUtils/HistoTableFormat with gcc4.1)

! 2007-09-19 - Vanya Belyaev
 - patch #1273.
   - GaudiUtils/HistoStats.h
      add new functions
      - meanErr
      - rmsErr
      - kurtosisErr
      - skewnessErr
      - momentErr
      - centralMomenErr
      rmsErr is more precise that ROOT, since ROOT neglects kurtosis.
      Please note that ROOT has a completely wrong calculations
      of errors in skewness and kurtosis

   - GaudiUtils/HistoTableFormat.h
     new utilities for highly customizable printout of histograms

! 2007-08-07 - Vanya BELYAEV
 Patch #1266:
 - GaudiUtils/HistoStats.h, src/Lib/HistoStats.cpp
     new files with simple class Gaudi::Utils::HistoStats for evaluation
     of few basic statistical quantities for AIDA::historgams:
       - moments
       - central moments
       - skewness
       - kurtosis
    The moments (and therefore all other quantities) are calculated on
    "bin-by-bin"-basis, since the corresponding cumulants needed
    for "event-by-event"-calculations are not available.
 - GaudiUtils/Aida2ROOT.h, src/Lib/Aida2ROOT.cpp
   fix doxygen comments


================ GaudiUtils v1r1 ======================================

 - patch #989. GaudiUtils/Aida2ROOT.h, src/Lib/Aida2ROOT.cpp, new
   class Gaudi::Aida2ROOT for access for internal ROOT implementation
   of transient histograms in Gaudi [Useful functions, heavily used in
   the context of Bender/Panoramix&Online]
