From Mikhail

• MsgLogger V00-01-09 - replace name emit for emit_content; Qt4

...

• pre-processor uses the name emit and does not like in in other packages

...

• ImgAlgos V00-03-60 - in geometry modules add methods to access

...

• pixel area, improve ImgPeakFinder
• PSCalib V00-02-14 - update/add doxygen/sphinx documentation

From David

...

• unlock/restore Python GIL when calling C++ Psana modules. Allows a

...

• Python script to start a thread that can run concurrently with the C++

...

• Psana Modules (Python Psana Modules still compete for the GIL).

...

• Improve error message for event store

...

...

• added keystrings for the configstore and calib store -

...

• that is Psana modules can use key strings with get() and put() with the environment and calib stores
• Translator:

...

• initial checkin of MPI based split scan Translator. Not ready for

...

• production.

...

• XtInput processiong:

...

• add options to make it feasible to start psana at a new calib cycle.

...

• Support for MPI Translator.
• hdf5pp:

...

• improve error message when fail to open file.
• psana:

...

• refactor to make it easier to write a C++ driver program
• psana_test:

...

• tests for MPI Translator, XtcInput/PSXtcInput to start at new calib

...

• cycle, putting objects into the configStore from Python

...

• TimeTool: add config file option 'put_ndarrys' to put ndarrays in the event store instead of floats. For automatic C++ to Python conversion
• psana_

...

• examples: update DgramList example to work with offsets

From Chris

• indexing: ability to access all times within a calibcycle for random access.
• indexing: ability to pickle EventTime objects for later random access.
• fix configuration-

...

• file parameter inheritance bug
• pyimgalgos:

...

• added module to correct for cspad per-pixel gain
• psana_test:

...

• add tests for indexing
• pdsdata:

...

• fix std::map<int,int> pragma pack bug in pdsdata/index/IndexList.hh

...

• (together with Tomy Tsai)

External Packages

• boost: upgrade from 1.49.0 to 1.55.0 for red hat 6 and red hat 7. Stay with 1.49 for ret hat 5.
• hdf5: upgrade to 1.8.13.
• openmpi: bug fix related to building dbg versions
• pdsdata: update to get fix to xtcmonserver to use in testing shared memory

Known Issues

• pytables does not load. pytables needs to be rebuilt against the new hdf5 library. We expect to address this in the next version.
• h5py linked to older hdf5 library - meaning users cannot explore new features of the hdf5 library through h5py.
