Version	v11r8
Release Date	4 Jun 2004
Description	Version allowing preselection responsibles to tighten their cuts for DC'04 stripping. Based on Gaudi v14r5 and LHCb v15r11. Uses LoKi v2r5p1.   Many small modifications in many packages.   The DaVinciUser practical example has been updated. Have a look.   This version compiles on Windows. Please use it and report any problems.   TDR data can be read but not all features are supported beside decay channel selections because of changes to LHCb packages (Event or Detector). Possible to perform analysis with Pool input.
Main modifications	- Many small modifications in many packages.
Still missing features for DC'04	The following will be included in DaVinci v11r9: - Updated user selections matching the 1/1000 reduction rate on BB events - Complete Trigger - New Efficiency algorithms - New DaVinciAssociators
Known problems:	GaudiPython cannot be used with POOL persistency. Use ROOT data instead.
	Some links to MC are not up-to-date and might not work because the necessary information is not saved in the Brunel output. Please notify all unexpected behaviour.
