CLHEP v1.7.2, cvs rtag V01-07-12

Removed three packages:
Alist
Combiner
Strings

These had been deprecated and designated for removal years ago.
They are finally gone from official CLHEP.

In Vector package:
Inline all the Rotation*Vector and Rotation*Rotation operations
This changes was made to bring the speed of the Vector package back up to that of CLHEP 1.6. For example, Rotation*vector is now 3.5 times faster than it had been in CLHEP 1.7.
Remove virtuallity of specialized Rotations. (e.g., RotationX)
Necessary to effectively perform the above optimization.
Inline multiplication for, and remove virtuallity of:
HepLorentzRotation, HepBoost, HepBoostX, HepBoostY, and HepBoostZ

Significantly reduce the role of Hep3RotationInterface and Hep4RotationInterface classes.
Repair a missing include in two test programs.

Minor fixes to Random package:
• Fix of improper deletion of theIntegralPdf in two places in RandGeneral.
• Validation of RandGamma added to testRandDists test.

GenericFunctions
Fixed warnings for GCC 3 coming from IncompleteGamma.
Previous attempts to fix this had introduced an error which in some cases could cause the routine to hang. This is corrected.

CLHEP HepPDT

Bring into synch with version in CLHEP 1.8
which has various minor improvements made by Lynn Garren, including cures for gcc 3 warnings.
Caveats:
• At this point, we recommend using this only to obtain particle properties. Decay channel mechanisms are still undergoing testing.

ISOcxx v2.0.2; cvs rtag V02-00-02

New defect: DEFECT_COMPLEX_INCOMPATIBLE
(Prememptive fix of clash in libraries for gcc 2.95 on Linux 7.1)
Platforms checked:
• gcc 3.0.1 under Linux and IRIX 6.5
• KAI 3.4 under IRIX 6.5, SunOS 5.6, Linux 6.1
• KAI 4.0b and 4.0d under Linux 6.1
• KAI 4.0d under IRIX 6.5 with and without exceptions disabled
• KAI 4.0d under SunOS 5.8 with exceptions disabled
• gcc 2.95-2 under IRIX 6.5, SUnOS 5.6, SunOS5.8, Linux 6.2, Linux 7.1
• MSVC++ V6.0 on NT4 using SRT
Dependencies:
None

HepTuple v2.1.5 cvs rtag V02-01-05

Replace the standard but broken mktemp with the nonstandard mkstemp.
Use the nonstandard mkstemp everywhere it is available, instead of the standard but inferior mktemp. Eliminates warnings in gcc 3.
Correct an oversight in HepRootFileManager::write()
For a user-requested write NOT followed by a job shutdown, not quite enough was written out. In particular, some Root specific information about the file was omitted. It's there now.

ErrorLogger v2.1.8; cvs rtag V02-01-08

Enhancement:
• Ability to recover an ELdestControl for a destination after you have let the original go out of scope.
  See testHandleRec.cc for a test and example, or see Further Options for the Frameworker documentation.
  This enhancement was suggested at the ZOOM post-production review of ErrorLogger.
Dependencies:
ZMutility v1.2.3 or higher
ISOcxx v1.1 or higher

PhysicsVectors v2.1, cvs rtag V02-01-00

Version update to reflect fixes in CLHEP/Vector
• Inline all the Rotation*Vector and Rotation*Rotation operations
  This changes was made to bring the speed of the Vector package back up to that of CLHEP 1.6. For example, Rotation*vector is now 3.5 times faster than it had been in CLHEP 1.7.
• Remove virtuallity of specialized Rotations (e.g., RotationX)
  Necessary to effectively perform the above optimization.
See CLHEP/Vector release notes for details.
