[Halld-offline] New sim-recon release: version 2.16.0 and version_2.13.2.xml

[Mark Ito]

[This is almost the same announcement I sent out earlier, but the 
version of CCDB has been updated to 1.06.05 with the corresponding 
change to the use of version_2.13.2.xml]

I've tagged a new release of sim-recon, version 2.16.0. This version 
includes improvements in hdgeant (GEANT3 version).

Find the release notes here 
<https://github.com/JeffersonLab/sim-recon/releases/tag/2.16.0>.

At JLab the build was done using versions listed in 
version_2.13.2_jlab.xml 
<https://halldweb.jlab.org/dist/version_2.13.2.xml>. The generic xml 
file is version_2.13.2.xml 
<https://halldweb.jlab.org/dist/version_2.13.2.xml>. This version set 
has a lot of upgrades. In addition to sim-recon, the packages for jana, 
root, ccdb, hdgeant4, and gluex_root_analysis have all undergone version 
upgrades relative to version_2.12.xml 
<https://halldweb.jlab.org/dist/version_2.12.xml>. Note that 2.13.2 
differs just slightly from the one Richard used for his recent OSG 
container.

At JLab, for RHEL6 and CentOS6 only, the build depends on custom 
versions of Python that I built in /group/halld/Software/builds as 
discussed on the software help list 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/gluex-software/1VmYx2QZex0>.

The default version of sim-recon will change at JLab at midnight tonight.
