[Halld-offline] JANA 0.7.3

[David Lawrence]

Dear Offliners,

  I sent this message out on June 10th but it looks like I accidentally sent it from my gmail
account so it got blocked. I’m re-sending from my JLab account so hopefully it goes through
this time.

Hi All,

  I have just posted a new JANA release (JANA 0.7.3). You can download it from here:

https://www.jlab.org/JANA/downloads.php

This represents several significant changes and it’s not really possible to test all aspects of
the sim-recon code to make sure no new bugs were introduced. It would be much appreciated
if some earlier-adopters could test this out to see if there are any issues. The relevant portion
of the change log can be seen below. I’ll give an update at a later offline meeting (not enough
time to prepare slides for today.)

Changes in version 0.7.3
- Fixed issue with EVENTS_TO_SKIP only skipping EVENTS_TO_SKIP-1 events
- Add janaview plugin
- Add support for stdint types like uint32_t in janaroot
- Fixed longstanding bug in jgeomread where attributes specified in the
  middle of the xpath were not displayed
- Made JANA_CALIB_URL and JANA_CALIB_CONTEXT config. parameters
- Make JObject::Get() search for associated objects of associated objects,...
  (added associated_objects unit test to check that it works)
- Added JObject::GetAssociatedDescendants()
- Added JCalibration::GetVariation()
- Add EVENT_SOURCE_TYPE param. to allow user to force source type
- Add --listconfig command line switch
- -PAUTOACTIVATE=all activates all factories automatically
- Add vector versions of GetCalib to JCalibration API to allow access
  to calibration constants while maintaining position order of source
- Add RUNNUMBER configuration parameter that can be used to override
  the event source supplied run number.
- Added event barrier mechanism (set JEvent::sequential flag in JEventSource)
- Made event number uint64_t in most places and run number int32_t


Regards,
-David
