Instead of putting all the release information into the release notice mailed to d0-release-mgr@fnal.gov, cdf_code_management@fnal.gov, etc, we are mailing a BRIEF notice to that list, with a pointer to this page to find out details.

This release brings the ZOOM products to the point where D0 can use them on NT under D0_SRT.

(The neccessary changes in D0_SRT exist and are in version v00-01-26. As of 2/28/01, this is in use in D0 builds. It will be present in the test release T01.35.00, which exists and will be made into a tar file on 3/5/01).

Packages modified in this release:

• ISOcxx v1.4 -- Accomodations for MSVC++ on NT under SRT
• HepTuple v1.7.2 -- Fixes, and accomodations for MSVC++ on NT
• ErrLogEx v1.5 -- New package
  Contains former ZMTools involving ErrorLogger and Exceptions
• ZMtools v1.5 -- Moved some classes into ErrLogEx package

• ErrorLogger v2.0.3
• PhysicsVectors v2.0.2

Feb 28, 2001:

The following release was announced February 27, 2001:

ISOcxx v1.4; cvs rtag V01-04-00

ISOcxx can now be be used on MVVC on NT in the D0 mode of operations.

New Features in release:

Modifications to accomodate SRT on NT
• Fixes in makefiles, path filters, etc.
• Minor mods in core of ISOcxx.
• Also,a (corrected) NT4 verses NT5 (NT 2000) test.
New EXTENSIONS mechanism
Infrastructure to deals with common and useful extensions to the C++ language. An EXTENSION can be probed for much like a DEFECT.
Extensions detected and support mechanisms supplied where sensible:
• LONG_LONG
• LONG_LONG_STREAM_OPERATOR
• INCLUDE_NEXT
Additional defects detected and, where possible, cured:
• DEFECT_NO_MEMBER_CONSTANTS
Rearrange to enable use of SRT test releases.
Avoid potential >> token from macro expansions
Fix virtovrd probe to avoid tickling an uninitended defect
Resolve a conflict in NOTHROW symbol definitions

Platforms checked:
• KAI 3.3 under IRIX 6.5, SUnOS 5, Linux 5.2
• KAI 3.4 under IRIX 6.5, SUnOS 5, Linux 6.1
• KAI 4.0b under Linux 6.1
• KAI 4.0c under IRIX 6.5
• KAI 4.0c under IRIX 6.5 with exceptions disabled
• gcc 2.95-2 under IRIX 6.5, SUnOS 5, Linux 6.1
• MSVC++ V6.0 on NT4 using SRT
Dependencies:
None
Restrictions:
NT usage requires a gmake ISOcxx.all when installing.
A mechanism to allow release distribution without that explicit built step is being worked on but is not yet developed.
Non-SRT usage mode not yet available.

HepTuple v1.7.2 cvs rtag V01-07-02

New Features in release:
Makefile mods to build under SRT on NT.
Repair of mixup in string passing conventions.
The wrong Fortran passing convention was used in one case. This had been causing the HBOOK mamanger to misbehave (core dump) in some circumstances.
Dependencies:
ZMutility v1.3.7 or higher
Exceptions v1.2.1 or higher
ISOcxx v1.1 or higher
Optional:
• Cernlib library must be linked in for HBOOK
• histo v5_0_3a0 or higher for histoscope
• root v2_26_00 or higher for ROOT
Restrictions:
Bug in HBOOK with regard to columns of doubles in N-tuples (as earlier)
Impractical to do static instantiation of nTuple and histogram objects (as earlier)
HBOOK Columwise Ntuples are restricted to 50 variables.
HBOOK columnwise Ntuples are restricted to no more than 50 named variables per block. Each array -- either fixed length or variable length -- counts as a single named variable. In addition, the total number of items, counting each array element as a separate item, is limited to 50,000 for floats and 5,000 for doubles.
A good workaround is to have multiple blocks; each may have up to this many variables.

ErrLogEx New package v1.5; cvs rtag V01-05-00

Tools involving both the Exceptions and the ErrorLogger package. These have now been move out of ZMtools into this new package, which is assigned the version number matching that of ZMtools at this starting point.
Features in release:
ZMexViaErrlog class -- New class, was not in ZMtools
A logger that makes it easy to set up such that some ZMexception classes will route their messages through an ErrorLog.
ZMxel
A ZMexception that is constructed from ErrorObj (rather than a string).
ZMexAugmented
ZMxceptions that contain an ErrorObj and an additional object of user-defined type. Useful for setting up custom ZMexception handlers.
Documentation at http://www.fnal.gov/docs/working-groups/fpcltf/Pkg/ErrLogEx/doc/html/.

ZMtools v1.5; cvs rtag V01-05-00

New Features in release:
Classes moved out:
Classes and tools dealing with ErrorLogger and Exceptions have been moved into the new ErrLogEx package.
• ZMexAugmented
• ZMexDerivedAug
• ZMexErrorLog
• ZMxel
Dependencies:
ZMtimer
ZMutilities V1.4 or higher
Exceptions V1.2 or higher
Block
None
HolderPtr
None
IteratorFilter
Exceptions V1.2 or higher
assertN
None
ELassertN.h requires ErrorLogger V1.2 or higher

ErrorLogger v2.0.3; cvs rtag V02-00-03

In this release:
Makefile modifications for building under SRT on NT.
• ProblemTracking
• FeatureLog
• SupportLog
Dependencies:
ZMutility v1.2.3 or higher
ISOcxx v1.1 or higher

PhysicsVectors v2.0.2, cvs rtag V02-00-02

New Features in release:
Scalar type defined in headers.
This rectifies an inadvertant failure to maintain a backward code compatibility feature.
Scalar Makefile modifications for builiding under SRT on NT.
Dependencies:
• Exceptions v1.3 or higher
• ZMutility v1.6 or higher
• ISOcxx v1.3 or higher (to allow CDF code to compile with C++ exceptions disabled)
Backward incompatibiliites:
The following syntaxes, which had not appeard in any user code, are no longer supported:
• Direct use of non-trivial accessors as L-values
• Direct application of Rotations and LorentzTransformations to containers of 3- and 4-vectors
Coming Soon:
The web page documenting PhysicsVectors has not yet been updated to reflect the CLHEP merge.
