[Moller] [Jlab-scicomp-briefs] JLab physics software library updates

[Sandy Philpott]

Dear Users,

Please see the information from Mauri Ungaro about new versions of physics software for the data analysis cluster, especially since the new farm16 Broadwell compute nodes are ready for use! Note the November 22 date for requiring a production.csh version argument.

Regards,
Sandy

--------

A new version of the JLab software libraries is available.
This release adopts two critical changes:
- ROOT v6
- c++11 compiler: gcc 5.2

Because of this, it is a "major" release: 2.0

Version 2.0 includes these updates:

- clhep:        2.2.0.8 > 2.3.3.1
- QT:           5.3.2 > 5.6.0
- xercesc:      3.1.1 > 3.1.3
- geant4:       4.10.01.p03 > 4.10.02.p02
- gemc:         2.4  >  2.5
- JANA:         stays 0.7.4p2
- banks:        1,2 > 1.3
- build system: 1.3 > 1.4
- ROOT:         5.34.34 > 6.06
- EVIO:         4.4.4 > 5.1
- CCDB:         stays 1.06

The "production.csh" will require the version argument starting from Tuesday, Nov 22. This will ensure that:

- changes in JLAB_VERSION will not change libraries version underneath users
- there's no ambiguity in what a version users are running.


Details on what's in each version can be found here.

To setup the environment. Csh users:

source /site/12gev_phys/production.csh 2.0

Bash users:

source /site/12gev_phys/2.0/ce/jlab.sh
