General information

This release is a major step forward from the previous ana-current release ana-0.11.10. The new release incorporates a number of important changes, including:

• upgrading numpy from version 1.6.2 to version 1.8.1
• adding built-in support for OpenMPI version 1.8.1
• changes in the low-level API to the psana event (explained in a separate section of the document)

This release will be also serving as a base for the ongoing migration to support RHEL7 and GCC48 which will be announced later.

Please, check your code to see if it's not broken after you switch to this release.

Improvements

• psana now automatically merges DAQ IOC streams (s80, s81, ...) with regular ones
• improvements in the direct access to events in psana
• improvements in psmon
• improvements in calibrations and imaging algorithms

New/upgraded packages

• added fftw package version 1.8.1

• added Python wrapper package pyFFTW version 0.9.2

Bugs fixed

• bug fixes in split scan mode of the HDF5 translator
• address issue with merging DAQ controlled IOC streams in the HDF5 translator

Changes in the low-level API to the psana event

• the HDF5 translator will not translate the DAQ src alias list from both the DAQ and the IOC streams. It will probably translate the DAQ list, but which one is undefined.
