This is a GlastRelease v9 based EngineeringModel i.e. we have finally caught up with the rest of the world. This means new versions of a lot of updated infrastructure code like Root, Geant4, CLHEP and Gaudi. Because of the major release number change a lot of tags are different. Non-infrastructure code has not changed much with respect to the current EM release in the pipeline, however, as we already had many EM specific patches. Upgrading to this new release makes maintenance much easier as we now are much more in synch with GlastRelease.
Interesting bug fixes include a change to the size of the TKR cluster arrays so they can accommodate large events (JIRA ROOT-25), more protection from the Geant4 propagator getting stuck (JIRA GEANT-8) and a divide by 0 problem in the time stamp calculation in case of funny time tones (JIRA COM-65). A complete list of all the differences with respect to the current EM EngineeringModel release in the pipeline can be found in:

Also note that the current EM release v6r070329p29em1 seems to have a problem with the time tones in the digi.root file (JIRA ROOT-26). This is not seen in any other release. I looked at the previous release, EM v6r070329p28, and also EM v7r0913p8 and the new one, EM v7r0913p9. None of them has this problem. Heather was supposed to look at it to better understand what was happening, but that is is happening - in case the problem is still there, but just shows up in different place - but this is obviously on hold now ....
