Version	v11r5
Release Date	5 April 2004
Description	Minimal release to allow user selection maintainers to adapt their code. Based on Gaudi v14r3 and LHCb v15r5. Uses LoKi v2r2.   This version compiles on Windows. Please use it and report any problems.   Important changes already in v11r3: New DVAlgorithm adding some features needed for parallel event stripping introduced. Please adapt decay packages to these guidelines. Renaming of tracks (at least replace upstream() by isDownstream() to be able to compile).   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	New guidelines-compliant version of Ks2PiPiSel.   This version contains bug fixes in GeomDispCalculator, TrTransporter (handling of neutrals, recalculation of energies to avoid negative masses).   Many minor modifications of the code needed, e.g. int i ; fabs(i); or log10(i) ; does not compile on Windows. Use abs(i); log10((double)i). Also assert() needs the inclusion of assert.h. Two selections are found to produce non-trivial compilation problems and are put in quarantine. This is under investigation.   MCDecayFinder has been moved from Phys/DaVinciTools in DaVinci to Phys/MCTools in LHCB.
Known problems:	GaudiPython cannot be used with POOL persistency. Use ROOT data instead.
	RICH Flavour tagging information is not stored correctly in POOL test data.
	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.
