    • adjust calorimeter time offset to be consistent with track hits
    • add TrkCaloHits for clusters < 50 MeV
    • weed TrkCaloHits based on DOCA and crystal depth
    • use correct disk coordinate system
  3. Finalize reco payload (brownd, edmonds)

    • add specialized script to deal with CRY production
    • adjust output content to be as consistent as possible between sources
  8. re-enabled the usage of Geant4 reference physics lists (genser)

    • add branches for primary and generated particles

v7_3_6

  1. conditions_db (rlc) add shared locks for efficiency in threaded use (far future..)
  2. tracker_objects (rlc) Updates to Tracker geometry
    • remove Station class
    • Tracker now hold Panels instead of Planes holding them
    • move straw Tubs calculations back to tracker

v7_3_5

  1. Several updates needed for CRY run at ANL in March 2019.
    • Use the new syntax for minRangeCuts
    • Starting position for tracks is at the top of the HallAir volume.

v7_3_4

  1. art_v2_12_01 (rlc) - activate this new art to pick up a fix to the shuffling input module
  2. cosmic_time (rlc)
    • add CRY MT fcl used at Argonne in Dec
    • add GenerateCosmicTimes module which takes a cosmic generated at t=0 and adds an appropriate time (like muonTimeModule)
    • insert this module at appropriate places
    • remove time options from Daya Bay module and generator files so CRY and Daya Bay both need the module
  3. align_db (rlc)
    • work to prepare for database-backed tracker alignment
    • remove StrawDetails
    • remove cd3 numerology
    • all numerology now comes from StrawId
  4. (gandr) don't let buildopts ever modify the base release from a satellite release
  5. (rlc) use UPS postgres paths, not OS paths
  6. (kutschke) Merged in branch ExtMonMuID from Jackson Waters; this introduces new hardware in the ExtMon area to do muon ID.
    • This introduced a bug in Mu2eG4/src/constructExtMonFNAL.cc, which was fixed by a later commit by Lisa Goodenough.
  7. (kutschke) Merged in branch klg_g4work from Krzysztof Genser. Here are his notes.
    • As a byproduct of my work related to g4 solids and a g4 patch, I added more variants of nestExtrudedSolid (and used more of const&) and added getHep2Vector to SimpleConfig.
    • I also added an MT variant of potSim.fcl (and per Ray based it more on #include of potSim.fcl itself).
  8. (brownd) Add support for production reconstruction. Update TrackAnalysisReco to include full set of analysis information.

v7_3_3

  1. 2/18/19 (rlc) Change all TTracker to Tracker. A user is most likely to be disrupted if they use personal geometry files that contain "ttracker" - these can be updated with: sed -i 's/ttracker/tracker/g' *.txt Also the names of geometry volumes change from "TTracker*" to "Tracker*".
  2. 2/11/19 (rlc)
    • clean up and re-organize several things in preparation for database-based alignment.
    • remove Alignment directory.
    • Create GeneralUtilities HepTransform to hold alignments.


v7_3_2

            Release notes for Mu2e Offline software, v7_3_2
 
 1) 2/11/19 rlc
    merge straw_conditions branch.  This creates Db and Proditions
    service, and make them required for straw reco and track fitting.
    The current default settings are still to take conditions
    from fcl, and not the database itself.


v7_3_1

            Release notes for Mu2e Offline software, v7_3_1
 
 2) Feb 6, 2019 kutscke
    First release of: Filters/src/StepPointFilter_module.cc
    This modules selects events with a minimum number of StepPointMCs
    in the named data product.
 
 1) Feb 5, 2019 kutschke
    STM sensitive detector code
      - The sensitive detector now only looks at the crystals
        rather than the crystals plus support infrastructure
      - The two crystals now have unique G4 copy numbers;
        previously they were both 0.


v7_3_0

            Release notes for Mu2e Offline software, v7_3_0
 
 1) Jan 22, 2019 brownd
     Add functionality intended to support production reconstruction.
     Fix code and scripts for calorimeter cluster time constraint in the Kalman track fit.
     Update configuration and parameters for hit error assignment in TrkPatRec
 2)  Jan 22, 2019 edmonds
     Add module to fill TrkAna trees from KalSeed objects: still in development 
 
 3) Jan 31, 2019 rlc
     move to art v2_12_00, adding shuffling input module

v7_2_2

            Release notes for Mu2e Offline software, v7_2_2
 
 6) Jan 22, 2019 kutschke
    Mu2eG4/geom/TransportSolenoid_v04.txt
     - Following advice from Bob Bernstein I modified:
          double pbar.coll1In.rOutRecord = 158.75
       the old value was 200.
     - This was done to avoid a conflict created when the pbar
       absorber in the PS was given a frame;  the VD's that surround
       the absorber used to overlap with the frame.
       This reduces their radius so that fit inside the frame.
 
 5) January 22, 2019, genser
 
    Enabled ShieldingM_MU2ER1, Shielding_MU2ER1, QGSP_BERT_MU2ER1 and
    their _EMZ variants as a replacement for ShieldingM, Shielding,
    QGSP_BERT physics lists plus all the customizations which were done
    in postG4InitializeTasks, to make them compatible with the MT split
    of the work between master and worker threads by inheriting from
    Geant4 reference physics lists and adding Mu2e specific calls
    encapsulated in setMu2eG4ProductionCuts and
    Mu2eG4CustomizationPhysicsConstructor.cc
    Removed obsolete physics lists. Added conditional debug printouts
    while also restructuring how the pset info is passed among functions.
    Fixed setting verbosity of tracking and stepping managers.
    setMuHadLateralDisplacement to true

v7_1_4

            Release notes for Mu2e Offline software, v7_1_4
 
 3) edmonds 5 October 2018
   - add a module that separates out the "calorimeter" and "calorimeterRO" CaloShowerSteps (representing crystal and SiPM steps) out of the compression, which had combined them (Filters/src/SeparatesCaloShowerSteps_module.cc)
   - add a module that checks this separation by plotting histograms of the z-position of the steps (Filters/src/SeparatesCaloShowerStepsCheck_module.cc)
   - this is for DS-cosmic-mixing, which doesn't run the primary generation inline and so runs on the DS-cosmic primary dataset itself
   - the separated collections are not kept so that all datasets have the same output, if you run into a problem that needs the CaloShowerSteps separating, then use the new modules
 2) ehrlich 4 October 2018

 11) Jul 2, 2018  Lisa Goodenough 
    - merge branch g4v10-2-p03MT, geant multi-threaded code

 10) Aug 10, 2018 brownd
    - Further consolidation and simplification of primary and mixing fcl
 9) Aug 9, 2018 edmonds
    Completed digi compression
    - StepPOintMCCollections are no longer consolidated into one and are kept separate on the output
    - SimParticleCollections, GenParticleCollections and CaloShowerStepCollections are consolidated into one output collection
      -- compressSimParticleCollection was modified to deal with this
      	-- The old behaviour is still default
 	--  To turn on the new behaviour pass in a SimParticleRemapping*
      -- SimParticles are no longer keyed to their internal ID in SimParticleCollection
    - calorimeterRO CaloShowerSteps are dropped from the event because of the Ptr bug (see DocDB-19477)
    - had to add a few modifier functions to CrvDigiMC, CaloShowerSim and CaloShowerStepRO so that I could remap their Ptrs
 
 8) Aug 2, 2018 kutschke
    Mu2eG4/src/Mu2eWorld.cc
      - After a calo geometry change from Bertrand the simulation stopped
        registering StepPointMCs in the calorimeter.
      - The reason was that the crystals in the front and back disks
        were different logical volumes with the same name.
      - Accessing the logical volumes by:
          G4LogicalVolumeStore::GetVolume(G4String const&)
        always returns the first of the two volumes with the same name.
      - So the sensitive detector handler was never registered with the
        crystals in the second disk.
      - Fixed by using an explicit loop over all logical volumes and
        checking the name to find both G4LogicalVolumes.
   The same inappropriate use of
      G4LogicalVolumeStore::GetVolume(G4String const&)
   was in place for every sensitive detector but it did not hurt us in
   other places because we did not have multiple logical volumes with the
   same name.  I fixed all of these instances.
 
 7) Aug 2, 2018 kutschke
    --ff-only merged branch trackerPatRec from Giani into MDC2018.

 6) July 31, 2018 genser
    Corrected _visManager in Mu2eG4/src/Mu2eG4_module.cc which changed during MT merge
 
 5) July 20, 2018 brownd
     Consolidate and cleanup fcl in prepreation for primary particle and mixing production
     Rename HitMakers to CommonMC as that is now its purpose
 4) July 19, 2018 kutschke
    EventGenerator/fcl/prolog.fcl
      Commented out the definition of PrimaryProtonGunN
      in the table EventGenerator.producers that defines the full set of
      generators.  The corresponding library is not present in this commit so it
      generates an error at job startup when running EventGenerator/fcl/prolog.fcl.
 
 3) July 18, 2018 kutschke
    Mu2eG4/fcl/g4test_03.fcl
      - Remove the individual configuration of proton time map and muon time map.
        Instead use the definitions in the prolog CommonDigiSim.  This now
        brings in the EventWindowMarker module; it's absence was the cause of the
        original error.
 
 2) July 18, 2018 brownd, bonventre
     Update straw digitization.  This includes:
     - refinements to deal with boundary conditions near the microbunch wrapping
     - introduction of the event window marker and its use in digitization
     - clock distribution jitter
     - random threshold variation within hardware expectations
     - resolution of most of the FIXMEs

removeStrawIndex

 This note discusses the removal of StrawIndex and it's replacement
 by StrawId everywhere.
 
 As of May 30, 2018 there is one known outstanding issue.
 I have not tested to see if the DeadStrawList correctly parses
 the lists of dead planes and dead panels.
 
 The remove of StrawIndex triggered the following additional changes:
  1) I reordered the dense array of all straws, held inside the
     TTracker object; none of our code was every supposed to
     depend on this order.  I did not find any that did.
       - old order: within a panel the straws were ordered by
                    one layer and then the other.
       - new order: straws are ordered in increasing radius
                    at their midpoint - ie alternating layers.
                    This is consistent with numbering the scheme
                    used by the tracker hardware project.
 
  2) Removed TrackerCalibrations everywhere. It is replaced
     by the many classes in TrackerConditions.
 
  3) Removed support for all variants of the tracker except
     the most recent.  I did not clean out old tracker
     geometry files - that will be another project.
     ( which will take some care because the new files are
       built as deltas to the old ones ... )
 
 In addition I cleaned up some targets of opportunity:
  4) Removed cvs history comments
  5) Removed large bodies of commented out obsolete code.
  6) Removed unnecessary includes
  7) Rewrote some loops using ranged-for syntax.
  8) Moved some files to Legacy. These make use of StrawIndex
     and I did not have the energy to convert them.
     They will be useful for people who want to ressurect their
     functionality using StrawId.  In many cases these files
     need other maintenance to keep up with other evolutions
     in our code.
 
 Thanks to Pasha for doing the work to remove StrawIndex
 and TrackerCalibrations from the CalPatRec package.
 
 Background:
 
 In the old days there were two identifiers of straws:
   DataProducts/inc/StrawIndex.hh
   DataProducts/inc/StrawId.hh
 
 StrawIndex - a dense identifier 0...(N-1)
              The order was arbitrary and no code should
              depend on the order
 
 StrawId (old style) a tuple-of-ints identifier
    originally: plane, sector( aka panel), layer, straw
    later:      plane, panel, straw
 
 StrawId (new style) a bit mapped uint16_t encoding:
         plane, panel, straw
         This is not a dense identifier but it is
         structured in a way that it convenient
         for writing FPGA code.
 
 With this change, StrawIndex is gone entirely and
 all access to straw information is via the new style
 StrawId.
 
 The key changes are:
 
  1) DataProducts/inc/StrawIndex.hh
     DataProducts/src/classes.h
     DataProducts/src/classes_def.xml
       - removed the .hh file and removed refernences to StrawIndex in the
         two genreflex files.
 
  2) GeometryService/src/TTrackerMaker.cc
      - change the order in which straws are inserted into the big array
      - Remove all use of StrawIndex
      - Lots of cleanup to remove support for obsolete trackers designs.
 
  3) TrackerGeom/inc/Straw.hh
     TrackerGeom/inc/Tracker.hh
     TrackerGeom/src/SConscript
     TrackerGeom/src/Straw.cc
     TTrackerGeom/inc/TTracker.hh
        - Remove all use of StrawIndex, which was only used as a key
          for accessors
        - Each accessor has been replaced by a matched accessor using
          a StrawId ( much of this was in place already ).
 
  4) DataProducts/src/StrawId.cc
     Reading a StrawId from a string now recognizes PlaneIds and PanelIds.
     If a, b, c are integers the formats are:
        StrawId: a_b_c
        PanelId: a_b
        PlaneId: a
     By convention a PanelId is equivalent to the StrawID for straw 0
     in that panel.  Similarly for a PlaneId - it is equivalent to the
     StrawId for straw 0 in panel 0 of that plane.
 
  5) Mu2eG4/src/StrawSD.cc
     From the G4 volume copy numbers, construct a StrawId and
     add this to the StepPointMC as it's volumeId.  Previously
     the code constructed a StrawIndex.
 
   6) Analyses/src/ConvElecHistory_module.cc
      Analyses/src/DIOElecHistory_module.cc
      Mu2eUtilities/inc/BkgElecUtilities.hh
      Mu2eUtilities/inc/ConvElecUtilities.hh
      Mu2eUtilities/src/BkgElecUtilities.cc
      Mu2eUtilities/src/ConvElecUtilities.cc
          - moved to Legacy
 
   7) Mu2eG4/inc/ConstructTTrackerTDR.hh
      Mu2eG4/inc/constructDummyTracker.hh
      Mu2eG4/src/ConstructTTrackerTDR.cc
      Mu2eG4/src/constructDummyTracker.cc
      Mu2eG4/src/constructTTrackerv3.cc
      Mu2eG4/src/constructTTrackerv3Detailed.cc
       - Removed support for obsolete tracker geometries.
 
   8) In many other files, find use of StrawIndex and
      change it to StrawId.  In most cases this was:
       a) diagnostic printout
       b) comparison to see if two objects refer to the same straw
       c) std::map<StrawIndex,T> changed to std::map<StrawId,T>
