sub-detector is missing from the Digi sequence: now a sub-detector can

Can be switched off with $APPCONFIGOPTS/Persistency/Compression-ZLIB-1.py
(AppConfig v3r133)
. Remove ProcessHeader::m_randomSeeds since they are not used anywhere and
causes portability problems with persistency of vector
(EventBase v3r0, DigiAlg v4r21)

between hits and the second metal routing lines on the R sensors. When using
DDDB and SIMCOND tags containing velo-20120120, this adds 10% "other" FEs,
translates to 2% of clusters averaged over detector, 4% in R-sensors, due to
this sort of coupling. For older DDDB tags it generates a warning about
missing conditions. (VeloDet v13r18+v13r18p1, VeloSimulation v3r12)
. Apply Hcal threshold in L0Calo emulation of 2012 data, reduces L0Calo bank
size (L0Calo v11r7)

in Gaudi::Tuple to support ulonglong) (MuonMoniDigi v2r5)

First version of Boole completely independent of ZEBRA. To process SICBMC data,
first convert it to oosim format using SicbToOORawh, version v3r0 or greater
Can process data produced with:
SICBMC v264r2 or greater
- for standard cdf geometry, use v256r0.opts options file
- for Rich MaPMT options, use v256r0-MaPMT.opts options file
Gauss v12r5 or greater
- for baseline (MaPMT) September 03 geometry, use v200309.opts options file
- for September 03 geometry, HPD option, use v200309-hpd.opts options file
(Can also process 2003 TDR production data, but with low efficiency due to
incompatibilities of the input data with the new Rich digitization)

First version of the LHCb digitization program.
- Replaces the digitization and trigger phases of Brunel
- Produces output to be reconstructed by Brunel v20r0
This verson is based on digitization+trigger phases of Brunel v19r1.
- Changed packages relative to Brunel v19r1 (to adapt to new Calo, Rich MC Hit):
DigiAlg v1r1, L0Calo v7r1, CaloDigit v1r3
Changes relative to Brunel v19r1
--------------------------------
Event model changes:
- Boole cannot read oorawh files produced with SicbToOORawh v1r* due to changes
in the Calo and Rich MC Hit definitions. Use data converted with SicbToOORawh
v2r*
Bug fixes:
- Correct a bug with rotation of TT stereo layers (ITDet v1r5)
