ChangeLog

2013-09-10  Andy Buckley  <andy.buckley@cern.ch>

	* Patch version 1.4.1, with the OS X fix below.

	* Fixing default library lookup path for Macs by looking at
	DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH as well as LD_LIBRARY_PATH (thanks to Dmitri
	Konstantinov for the reminder!)

2012-03-21  Andy Buckley  <andy.buckley@cern.ch>

	* Version 1.4.0!

2012-01-30  Andy Buckley  <andy.buckley@cern.ch>

	* Bumping version to 1.4.0alpha0.

	* Adding interface implementations for Phojet and Ariadne, from
	Sharka Todorova.

	* data/params/fpythia-Zbb.params: Adding a Pythia params file for
	forcing Z->bb decays.

2012-01-20  Andy Buckley  <andy.buckley@cern.ch>

	* Patch from Gavin Hesketh, adding HERWIG param handling for the
	IAPHIG and RMASS(201) params.

2011-10-21  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Improving param file parsing to treat # as a comment character
	also in the middle of lines. Fingers crossed that there are no
	generators in which # characters are valid parts of param names,
	or we'll have to cook up an escape or think again...

2011-09-10  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* configure.ac: Adding a check to make sure that no-one tries to
	install into --prefix=$PWD.

	* bin/agile-runmc: Setting params in the order specified rather
	than the random order of the Python dict. The necessary sorting
	info was actually already being stored but I'd forgotten to use it
	to determine the iteration sequence. Thanks to Sara Alderweireldt
	for the bug report.

2011-09-04  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Add a str -> int cast for the randon seed meta-param handling.

2011-08-14  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Add path-finding methods to the Python interface.

2011-08-11  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Add PdfInfo filling to FPythia.cc.

2011-07-29  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* 1.3.0 release!

2011-07-28  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Improving param file autocompletion.

2011-07-20  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* data/params: Add fpythia-ttbar-semileptonic.params.

2011-07-19  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Bump version to 1.3.0beta1.

	* src/FHerwig/*, src/AlpGen/AlpGenFHerwig*: Move the soft UE call
	into the _doHadronise conditional blocks, and add such a block to
	AlpGenFHerwig.

2011-07-07  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Remove deprecated inclusion of share/RivetGun in the params file
	search path.

	* Adding RG:NumEvents and RG:Seed parameters to agile-runmc, based
	on a patch from Anton Karneyeu.

2011-07-06  Hendrik Hoeth <hendrik.hoeth@cern.ch>

	* use -Wno-long-long

2011-07-05  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Bumping version to beta0.

	* Adding a proper config header, and using it to add a version()
	function to the API, cf. Rivet.

	* Adding several levels of filtering to the HepMC event record:
	it's now possible to do no filtering, to strip the documentation
	particles, and to strip all unstable and documentation
	particles. The latter will break some analyses, but where it can
	be used safely it reduces the output size by a factor of 4. The
	default is to use no filtering.

2011-06-28  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Adding the ability to use a user-supplied parameter
	transformation function with agile-runmc.

2011-06-27  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* pyext/setup.py.in: Use CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS safely in the Python
	extension build, and improve the use of build/src directory
	arguments.

2011-06-18  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Adding a --precision switch (and API feature on AGILe::Run)
	which is by default set to 10 digit precision rather than the HepMC
	default of 16, to make the I/O a bit more efficient.

2011-06-17  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Updating the HERWIG interface to be able to read LHEF
	files... if the HERWIG binary has been built with the right dummy
	routines, which Genser's one hasn't. Thanks to Simone Alioli for
	this feature!

2011-06-14  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Rewriting HERWIG status codes to better match the HepMC
	standard: HERWIG status 2 is for partons -> status 3, and HERWIG
	195->199 are unstable hadrons -> status 2.

2011-06-06  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Testing maximal HepMC event chopping and adding --filter to the
	command line completion

	* Adding support for LHEF file reading in FPythia.

2011-05-09  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fixes to AlpGenFHerwig and AlpGenFHerwigJimmy vetoing behaviour
	from Gavin Hesketh.

2011-04-25  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Exclude the "." and ".." directory entries from generator version searches.

2011-04-06  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Release 1.2.2!

	* Fixes to the Charybdis interfaces.

2011-04-05  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Getting the list of available generator versions (HERWIG,
	PYTHIA, AlpGen, RapGap, & CASCADE) automatically (and being
	careful about the .2 and .3 suffixes and duplicate removal).

2011-02-22  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fix AlpGenFHerwigJimmy to actually call JIMMY, based on
	integrating the AlpGen veto function into the FHerwigJimmy
	event-building calls.

2011-02-02  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Trying to get the list of available LHAPDF versions
	automatically (from a Genser-like file structure).

2011-01-31  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fix the IPROC setting in AlpGen + Herwig (+ Jimmy) -- thanks to
	Gavin Hesketh for finding the problem and supplying the solution!

	* Fix the Python event loop to *not* allocate an unused array the
	size of the maximum number of events! This has a big effect on
	memory for >= 1M events. Thanks to Gavin Hesketh for finding the problem.

2011-01-28  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Add new Pythia params files for Z -> e e, mu mu and W -> mu nu
	and W -> mu nu, e nu.

	* Adapt fpythia-Z*.params files to only control the decays, not
	the MSEL/MSUB process selection.

2011-01-25  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Make FPythia and FHerwig set their beam particles' statuses = 4,
	as per the HepMC standard.

	* Update LHAPDF version list to include 5.8.4.

2010-12-18  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* AGILe 1.2.1 release.

2010-12-09  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Converting supplied beam energies to momenta in FHerwig as
	required by the HERWIG interface (the EBEAM1/2 params seemed to
	not be used when I tried). It's a really nasty hack: rather than
	have a lookup table of masses for this unimportant effect, I just
	subtract 1 GeV**2 from the energy**2 if that beam particle is a
	proton, antiproton or neutron. Someone else can do it properly ;-)

	* Adding HERWIG 6.520 to the list of supported generators, since
	Genser now has one. No idea what is in that -- the various
	reported and long-overdue bug-fixes I guess. Almost certainly the
	last HERWIG release! (Also adding more PYTHIA version
	codes... just because.)  Automatically detecting the available
	versions would be nice so we don't have to do this.

	* Converting Generator::getName() to use a member variable, which
	is set in the various generator interfaces.

	* More FHerwig clean-ups.

	* HERWIG problem fixed... at the cost of having to completely
	restructure the FHerwig param and seed handling! Since IPROC and
	the beam params need to be defined before HWIGIN is called, and we
	want to be able to run HERWIG without *having* to specify an
	IPROC, the other params need to be stored and applied
	post-HWIGIN. If they were applied before, the HWIGIN
	initialisation would just overwrite them. Argh!

	* Include matrix element MC integration seeds in FHerwig::setSeed().

	* Bump ABI version for 1.2.1 release.

	* Move FHerwig HWIGIN call to initialize() -- trying to make sure
	that initial state is known at time that initialisation is
	called. Still not working for me.

	* Make Pythia call PYTUNE immediately on setting the PYTUNE or
	MSTP(5) variable, and never re-call it in PYINIT.

	* Adding MSG_* logging macros.

	* Adding correct SWIG compiler flags to SWIG test.

	* Renaming fpythia-atlas params file to fpythia-atlas-mc08.

2010-10-20  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Removing bad-idea default param files for PYTHIA and HERWIG.

2010-10-14  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Removing dysfunctional weighting function for PYTHIA.

2010-09-24  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Releasing AGILe 1.2.0 -- major new features are PYTHIA/HERWIG
	event enhancement/weighting and the Cascade/Rapgap interfaces.

2010-07-19  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Adding official API functions for path and LCG platform tag
	getting.

2010-07-16  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Restructuring SWIG module to a more general package with a SWIG
	core.

	* Requiring Python >= 2.4.

2010-06-10  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Releasing AGILe 1.1.6.

	* Now using Boost lexical_cast instead of stringstream for safety
	and convenience.

2010-06-01  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Upgrading the Python and SWIG checks to the cleverer ones from
	recent Rivet releases.

	* Fixing Loader to pick up Herwig, Charybdis and Cascade from
	changed Genser locations, and to ensure that Jimmy and Herwig are
	both picked from the ".3" Genser sub-version, and hence have the
	same HEPEVT common block size: this fixes a memory corruption
	issue which was making HW+JM exit with an error after only a small
	number of events. Note that as a result of fixing these Genser
	versions, the AGILe command-line name for Herwig has changed from
	"Herwig:6510" to "Herwig:6.510".

2010-05-07  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Adding params files for ALEPH and DELPHI PYTHIA tunes, thanks to
	Sarka Todorova.

	* Fix missing usage message on agile-runmc.

	* Changing generator search path to only fall back to hard-coded
	Genser AFS area if AGILE_GEN_PATH is not set. Spurred by wanting
	to avoid AFS timeouts on systems with /afs mounted where there is
	no valid token... the initialisation slowdown from this timeout
	puzzled me for a *long* time, before I worked out that it was
	connected to me having added AFS mounting to my laptop!

2010-04-22  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Using unit conversion for all generators reading from
	HEPEVT (i.e. all generators!).

	* Adding HepMCTools.hh internal header, containing units
	conversion routine for converting HEPEVT-dumped events in GeV/mm
	convention to the current event's units if required.

	* Holger added Cascade interface.

2010-03-15  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Adding build of omitted libAGILeAlpGen.so library.

	* Moved core components into src/Core to improve build flexibility.

	* Holger added RapGap interface.

2009-11-11  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Making params evaluate in order given on the command line / in
	param files. The first occurence position is used if a parameter
	is specified more than once, but the last-specified _value_ will
	be used.

2009-11-10  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Removing all traces of C++ generators, since I don't want to
	give anyone the impression that this is a good way to run them.

	* Adding --filter option to strip unphysical particles out of the
	event record.

	* Using shared_ptr to automatically manage the Run I/O pointers.

2009-11-08  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Splitting Charybdis processing as for AlpGen, and hence adding a
	proper CharybdisJimmy interface (and registering it in the Loader).

	* Adding proper AlpGenJimmy library support to Loader.

2009-10-23  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Writing event weights (and estimated errors) into HepMC (if
	supported) for Fortran HERWIG.

2009-10-21  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Completing documentation of HERWIG params.

	* Adding errors to Pythia 6 cross-section estimate filling.

2009-10-16  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Creating new Run object, to allow removal of Python HepMC
	interface (which is no bad thing, but if forces a SWIG dependence
	on the HepMC version, and SL doesn't have a sufficiently
	functional copy of SWIG to be relied on.

	* Using AlpGen interface by composition rather than inheritance:
	AlpGenHerwigJimmy should now work.

2009-06-10  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Using "embedded" hepmc.i in AGILe.i, as for rivet.i, to make an
	1.1.4 alpha tarball which will work on lxplus and can be
	bootstrapped with Rivet.

2009-06-03  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Putting SWIG-generated source files under version control, to
	make life easier for people who check out the SVN head but don't
	have an up to date (or any) copy of SWIG.

2009-04-07  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Adding $(DESTDIR) prefix to call to Python module "setup.py
	install"

2009-03-04  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Adding AGILE_DEBUG environment variable.

	* Fixing SWIG build to allow reliable interchange of HepMC objects.

2009-02-25  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Make Python extension etc. build by default.

2009-01-22  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* agile-runmc: added handling of an RG:Generator param, and hence
	the ability to dump out a whole gen config, including run
	conditions and generator name, using --list-used-analyses.

2009-01-15  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Converting Python build system to bundle SWIG output in tarball.

2009-01-05  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Python: replaced Python extension build process with a more
	portable version based on distutils and newer m4 macros. Breaks
	distcheck until distutils SWIG support is improved to support
	multi-dir builds.

2008-11-28  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Replaced binreloc with an upgraded and symbol-independent copy.

2008-11-21  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Pre-emptively recognise Pythia 6.420, since we know there will
	be one (it will include the Skands + Professor tune + Peter's
	other 'Perugia' tunes).

	* Moved RivetGun params into AGILe.

	* Various command line tweaks, bug fixes and cosmetic improvements.

2008-11-18  Hendrik Hoeth <hendrik.hoeth@cern.ch>

	* Recognise Pythia 6.419

2008-11-04  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added bash completion file, minor UI bug fixes, and more
	complete beam string handling.

2008-10-30  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added param file search path handling ("." + AGILE_PARAM_PATH),
	and also support for an "include" statement in param files.

2008-10-28  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added Python access to AGILe log system, param dumping, RNG seed
	control and flexible initial state energy, num events and beam
	specification.

2008-10-21  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Making Herwig++ call its initial-state setting before any params
	are passed, since the AGILeGenerator object must be set up first.

	* All generators will now try to load a "HEAD" version if
	available.

2008-10-09  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fixed bug in FHerwigJimmy which meant that the event loop was
	infinite.

2008-10-07  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added SWIG Python interface --- just mapping Loader and
	Generator (ignoring GeneratorState). Seems to work!

	* Added missing TinyXML source files --- Python refused to load
	the library since the symbols weren't defined.

2008-08-24  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fixed Sherpa detection --- boostrapping now works on lxplus.

	* Added unindexed MODPDF and AUTPDF param names to FHerwig, since
	you usually want both particles to have the same PDF setup, and
	this is a nice bit of syntactic sugar.

	* Herwig++ setup now uses the flags suggested by the herwig-config
	script, and --with-thepeg is no longer used.

	* Set default FHerwig process to be QCD 2->2.

	* Removed FHerwig MAXEV and MAXER param handling, since their role
	is irrelevant within AGILe.

	* Added error-handling loops to FHerwig and FHerwigJimmy, so that
	Herwig errors are caught and the event is re-generated until it
	behaves itself.

2008-08-12  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added a AGILE_USE_AFS variable which can be set to "no" to stop
	AGILe's generator loader from automatically inserting GENSER's AFS
	path into the gen search path.

	* Removed default matrix elements from Herwig++.

2008-08-11  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* src/Loader.cc: Every call to getenv now uses a separate "const
	char*" return variable. CMTCONFIG env variable no longer used,
	since it was not there unless using an ATLAS/LHCb build shell and
	was in the wrong tag format anyway.

	* src/CCHerwig/CCHerwig.cc: Added handling of a special INFILE
	parameter, which is used as the argument to a ThePEG "read"
	command.

	* src/Loader.cc: Factorized findGenLib function into several
	smaller functions to aid memory problem investigation.

2008-08-08  Andy Buckley  <abuckley@cern.ch>

	* C++ generator configure now fails gracefully.

	* AlpGen and Charybdis now work with both Herwig and Pythia from
	the Genser versions. Hurrah!

2008-08-05  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Removed setting of Sherpa EVENT_MODE and ANALYSIS switches, as
	recommended by Frank Siegert.

2008-08-04  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Changed AlpGen and Charybdis to load using the Genser names. Get
	segfaults at the moment, but the libs are at least detected on
	lxplus.

	* Loader tries to find LHAPDF library in both the Genser structure
	and as a fallback to the normal $prefix type area.

2008-07-29  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Loader now prefers the '.2' versions of Genser gens if possible,
	since for the Fortran gens these are compiled with the larger
	10000-entry HEPEVT common blocks (as opposed to the default 4000)

	* Automated Herwig and Pythia's acquiring common block sizes -
	fixes a problem with CERN Pythia installations.

	* Fixed wrong flags on agile-config

2008-07-27  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added better tests for Boost headers.

	* Added testing for -ansi, -pedantic and -Wall compiler flags.

	* Removed Status returns from the interface.

2008-07-23  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added explicit Boost header checks, since old versions may not
	have all the necessary headers.

2008-07-16  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Improved debug info in the loader (again!)

	* Tries to fall back to more Genser directories, such as
	$GENSER/MCGenerators (for forward compatibility with Genser
	boostrap script with mkGenserArea), and also to try the old
	lib<gen><version>.<ext> convention.

	* Now uses Boost foreach (if Rivet can, so can AGILe!)

2008-07-09  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Loader improvements: LHAPDF availability is now tested as for
	generators, and is done only once.

	* Upgraded Sherpa to use new HepMC interface fixes. This requires
	the unreleased Sherpa 1.1.2, either from trunk or beta tarball.

	* Replaced cout and cerr with proper logging classes.

2008-07-07  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added "AGILE_" namespacing to all header guards.

	* Added flag to Sherpa build to disable warnings about deprecated
	"const char*" to "char*" implicit conversions. We can't do
	anything about this and it's not a "real" problem at the binary
	level.

	* Compatibility fixes for GCC 4.3.

2008-07-04  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Loader now only tests that libraries are present rather than
	dlopen/dlclosing them when building the "available gens"
	list. This solves the problems we've seen where Sherpa being
	present breaks all the other generators (for reasons not fully
	understood.)

	* More Sherpa improvements: SHERPA_CPP_PATH and RESULTS_DIRECTORY
	are now created if they weren't already present.

2008-06-19  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fix to Sherpa interface - changed header name in Sherpa version
	1.1.1.

2008-06-11  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* AGILe 1.1.1 release.

2008-06-11  Jon Butterworth  <jmb@hep.ucl.ac.uk>

	* Fixed dynamic loader for "enhanced" Herwigs to also load the
	basic libAGILeFHerwig AGILe module.

	* Added HWBEAM and HWUIDT param wrappers.

2008-06-10  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Re-added assigning of the agilehandler variable in the library
	loader. This had been accidentally removed but worked as a fluke
	on Linux systems because dlsym seems to treat a null pointer as
	meaning RTLD_DEFAULT: it broke on Mac OS X.

2008-06-06  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Changed generator names to use a closer match to the Genser
	convention, which means that Genser-convention version numbers can
	be extracted. This fixes the problem with loading Pythia6 and
	Pythia8 on CERN AFS.

2008-06-03  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* 1.1.0 release.

2008-05-28  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added conditional compilation of C++ generator Loader.cc entries
	based on configure results, to avoid problems with AFS version of
	SHERPA.

2008-05-15  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Disabled loading f(py/hw)_dummies for AlgGen and Charybdis
	interfaces, since they specialise the up* routines.

	* Added LHAPDF loading to C++ gens.

	* Fixed loading of LHAPDF in FHerwig and FPythia with fallback to
	PDF dummy libs.

2008-05-13  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Improved logging interface: log levels are now integers (for
	cross-library compatibility and level setting also applies to
	existing loggers.

2008-05-09  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added agile-config script.

	* Merged Herwig++ 2.1 -> 2.2 implementation changes.

2008-04-23  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added a hack to make libtool able to use gfortran, thinking that
	it's the F77 compiler.

2008-03-19  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added library versioning flags in the configure.ac file.

	* Re-organised directory structure to allow builds of single
	generators by "cd"ing to the appropriate subdirectory, and to
	remove the redundant "Generators" layer.

2008-03-19  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* FPythia parameter passing now converts the param name to upper
	case before passing to PYGIVE, since weird behaviour has been
	noticed when passing the MDME params with lower-case names.

2008-03-18  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fixes to the Sherpa interface to make the paths work, to handle
	the "normal makelibs exception" a bit better, and other general
	tweaks. It now works, but SHERPA itself needs a patch to enable
	the HepMC filling - this will be in the next version. HepMC >=
	2.3.6 is required for the GenEvent copying to work properly.

2008-02-08  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fixes and extensions for HERA running added to FPythia and
	FHerwig.

2008-01-22  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* FPythia now changed to use the Genser HEPEVT size of 10000 (the
	mismatch with the previous default value of 4000 resulted in
	generating lots of events with no momenta)

2008-01-17  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Loader now tries to use the Genser liblinks area by default,
	using a precomputed value and the CMTCONFIG variable as guesses
	for the non-programmatic 'LGC platform tag'

	* Fixed loader so that the FHerwig dummy HWAEND symbol gets
	exported - FHerwig now works again.

	* Added more configurable generator library loading, including new
	AGILE_GEN_PATH variable.

	* Added binreloc path detection.

2007-11-26  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Removing RivetGun components and re-branding this project as
	pure AGILe.

	* Splitting generator library detection into AGIle

2007-10-31  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Tagging as 1.0b3 for HERA-LHC meeting.

	* Now dlopening LHAPDF all the time - this is because LHADF uses
	some FPythia common blocks and the loading order is therefore
	significant.

2007-10-29  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Fixed FHerwigJimmy event loop: this aborted at the wrong point
	and didn't handle MSPARM == 0 properly (it trapped it in an
	infinite loop until the failure counter overflowed).

	* Fixed istringstream handling of params by introducing the
	templated as<T> functions and their asInt/Double/Bool wrappers in
	Utils.hh. Previously the stream was being used many times, often
	through stream failures, which led to nonsense results. The new
	approach makes a new inline stream each time.

	* Now linking LHAPDF against rivetgun executable.

	* Got Charybdis working with FHerwig and loading properly (but not
	running correctly) with FPythia.

2007-10-28  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Using a vector of dlopen handles to allow arbitrary numbers of
	libs to be dynamically loaded (dlopened).

2007-10-23  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* rivetgun now throws an error if it can't read a specified config
	file.

2007-10-18  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Removed default build of rivetgun-static.

	* Using HepMC::GenEvent::clear() method.

	* Removed defunct tests.

	* Conversion of setParam methods to only implement the
	string-valued one and to use stringstreams for type conversions
	where needed.

	* Added methods to Generator to perform common functionality:
	these are conventionally called as utility functions by the
	derived class implementations.

	* Huge overhaul of generator classes: renames of Herwig++ class to
	CCHerwig, introduction of AGILe namespace and header area, removal
	of *Mod libraries, reworking of AlpGen, Jimmy and Charybdis
	interfaces via inheritance, interface improvements to rivetgun.

2007-10-16  James Monk

	* Fixed dynamic loading for Mac OS X.

2007-10-03  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added more Herwig++ features: now works but leaks memory per
	event.

2007-10-02  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Removed explicit FPythia::setParam and Herwig::setParam methods,
	except for inlined versions to call the Generator::setParam
	defaults.

	* Made Generator::makeEvent and Generator::setSeed methods pure
	virtual, since throwing a runtime_error by default wasn't
	producing any helpful hints to interface implementers.

2007-09-28  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added portable paths to the Herwig++ tester and moved the new
	Herwig++ control code into the existing Herwig class, which
	doesn't really do what we want.

2007-09-26  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added autoconf Fortran portability features to RivetGun
	executables and the Fortran Herwig, Pythia, AlpGen and Charybdis
	generators.

2007-09-21  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* rivetgun executable now tests for ability to dlopen() each
	potential generator library when building the command line list of
	valid generators.

2007-06-24  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Changed the logging of event numbers to use a specific logger
	and to assign different log levels to every 100th and 1000th
	event. Most event numbers are now at the DEBUG level and so won't
	be shown by default.

	* src/Test/RivetGunInterfaceStatic.cc: Moved the available
	generators code into a new include/RivetGun/AvailableGenerators.hh

2007-06-16  Jon Butterworth  <jmb@hep.ucl.ac.uk>

	* Make Pythia 6.411 the latest default.

2007-06-01  Doug Gingrich <gingrich@ualberta.ca>

	* Added Charybdis interfaces, not yet linking them.

2007-05-23  Jon Butterworth  <jmb@hep.ucl.ac.uk>

	* Added a local event counter for FPythia.

2007-05-17  Andy Buckley  <andy@insectnation.org>

	* Added convenience LTDL library, based on instructions at
	http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Distributing-libltdl

2007-02-09  Leif Lönnblad  <Leif.Lonnblad@thep.lu.se>

	* src/Test/RivetGunInterfaceStatic.cc: Now includes Generator.hh
	to avoid compilation errors if stupid people try to compile
	without any generators.

2006-12-19  Andy Buckley  <andy.buckley@durham.ac.uk>

	* Added src/Test/RivetGunInterfaceStatic.cc with command line
	parsing handled by TCLAP (Templated Command Line Argument Parser).

2005-12-27  Leif Lönnblad  <Leif.Lonnblad@thep.lu.se>

	* configure.ac: Added -I$THEPEGPATH/include to AM_CPPFLAGS.

	* Config/Rivet.h: Added some std incudes and using std::
	declaration.

	* Analysis/RivetInfo.*: Fixed some bugs. The RivetInfo facility
	now works, although it has not been thoroughly tested.

	* Analysis/Examples/TestMultiplicity.*: Re-introduced
	FinalStateHCM for testing purposes but commented it away again.

	* .: Made a number of changes to implement handling of RivetInfo
	objects.
