(Note: CMake configuration was not validated for this version of LCG externals)

(Ben Couturier)
- Fixes and workarounds required for ROOT 6 support.
(Marco Clemencic)
Packages Changes
- GaudiPolicy (v14r1):
- Fixed LBCORE-331: Generate manifest.xml for CMT built projects
(Marco Clemencic)
Externals version: LCGCMT_66
General Changes
- This is the first version of Gaudi that can be built with both ROOT 5.x and
ROOT 6.x.
All the packages have the major version increased to reflect the change.
- Replaced Reflex Plugin Service with a new Reflex-free and ROOT-free Plugin Service.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Several improvements to the CMake configuration.
(Marco Clemencic, Hubert Degaundenzi)
- Added configuration files for the
hwaf system.
(Sebastien Binet)
Packages Changes
- GaudiPolicy (v14r0):
- Prevent path normalization in test arguments if they do not point to a file.
Needed because sometimes an argument is a URL and it must not be normalized.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Fixed LBCORE-370: Some test results do not show up in the new HTML summary.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Fixed LBCORE-292: added project and slot details to the test summaries

(CMake builds only), and the slot name and date (CMT and CMake).
(Marco Clemencic)
- Added tool CTestXML2HTML, to convert CTest-compatible XML files into web
pages easy to navigate.
(Marco Clemencic, Kevin Win-Lime)
- Override the pattern reflex_dictionary because of an issue with ROOT6.
With ROOT 6 the '_Instantiations' dummy class used in the dictionaries
must have a different name in each dictionary.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Added the possibility to produce CTest compatible XML files from QMTest.
(Kevin Win-Lime)
- GaudiPluginService (v1r0):
- First version (see package release notes and README.md file)
(Marco Clemencic)
- Added optional metadata (properties) to the factories, and a Python module
to query the list of factories (based on ctypes).
(Sebastien Binet)
- GaudiKernel (v30r0):
- Fixed logic of
applyConfigurableUsers() (see bug #103803 and bug #103808).
The old buggy logic is still present and used by default for backward compatibility,
but the new one can be enabled via a command line switch or an environment variable.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Added a small Python function to simplify enabling and disabling of
specific ROOT 6 work-arounds.
(Marco Clemencic)
- GaudiCoreSvc (v3r0):
- Replaced Reflex queries with TClass queries.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Renamed the ApplicationMgr property ReflexPluginDebugLevel to
PluginDebugLevel.
(Marco Clemencic)
- PartPropSvc (v5r0): minor changes.
- GaudiMonitor (v5r0): minor changes.
- RootHistCnv (v12r0): minor changes.
- GaudiPartProp (v2r0): minor changes.
- GaudiSvc (v21r0): minor changes.
- GaudiUtils (v5r0): minor changes.
- RootCnv (v1r22):
- Made the data member of pool::Token transient (it was implicit in ROOT 5, but
must be explicit in ROOT 6).
See ROOT-5700.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Made PoolClasses.h a public header (needed for relocatability of dictionaries).
(Marco Clemencic)
- Replaced Reflex queries with TClass queries, and the obsolete
gROOT->GetClass with TClass::GetClass.
(Marco Clemencic)
- GaudiAlg (v15r0): minor changes.
- GaudiProfiling (v2r0): minor changes.
- GaudiGSL (v8r0):

copy constructor of SplineBase.
(Marco Clemencic)
- GaudiAud (v10r0): minor changes.
- GaudiCommonSvc (v3r0): minor changes.
- GaudiPython (v13r0):

(Marco Clemencic)
- Added workaround for ROOT-6032.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Several fixes and tweaks to work with ROOT 6.x.
(Marco Clemencic)
- GaudiMP (v3r0):

failure when importing 'GaudiMP.IoRegistry'.
(Marco Clemencic)

- Gaudi (v25r0):
- Added tests for bug #103803 and bug #103808
(Marco Clemencic)
- GaudiExamples (v25r0):
- Made the workaround for ROOT-5836 a permanent fix.
The rationale is that the new warning message we are getting with ROOT 6 is
an acceptable behavior.
(Marco Clemencic)
- Made public the test event model headers of GaudiExamplesLib (needed to
support ROOT 6.00-beta).
(Marco Clemencic)
- Many fixes and tweaks to work with ROOT 6.x.
(Marco Clemencic)
