ganga/ganga/Ganga
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Major re-ordering of code. The module Ganga has been renamed to GangaCore to resolve problems with case
insensitive operating systems (MacOS) 1183. The python folder has been renamed to ganga and the release notes
and templates moved into it (GangaRelease and GangaTemplates). When installing with pip Ganga now appears as a
single module (ganga) and the release notes are now included. When importing ganga in python import.ganga has
become import ganga.ganga . Subsequently the ganga namespace is available as usual (i.e. print ganga.jobs). 1198
* Bugfix for logging. INFO message should be cached until a new prompt. 1197
* Bugfix for showing configs. 1187
* Bugfix for ganga shutdown. 1195
* Parallel submit disabled by default for local jobs. Can be used with j.backend.force_parallel=True . 1208
* Slurm backend now available. 1192

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Now use getReplicasForJobs when splitting with OfflineGangaDiracSplitter. 1203

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ganga/ganga/GangaLHCb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Bugfix for BenderBox. 1184
* Bugfix to uploading replica of job script and cmake tarballs for GaudiExec. Instead of raising an exception
on failure ganga will give a warning and try another SE. In case of no successful SE an exception is raised. 1190 and 1182

ganga/python/Ganga
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ganga/python/GangaLHCb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ganga/python/GangaDirac
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Improve Dirac submission speed. Several subjobs are submitted in one process. The attribute to set this is in
the Dirac backend is 'bulkSubmit' which is set to true by default. The number per process is set by
the option 'maxSubjobsPerProcess' in the DIRAC configuration. 1131 and 1138

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ganga/python/GangaLHCb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The LHCbDirac environment has been hard-coded to x86_64-slc6-gcc49-opt so jobs can be submitted from any platform. 1134
* Minor bugfix to exception in GaudiExec RTHandler. 1140

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ganga/python/GangaAtlas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Updated pandatools to 0.5.91 and now check if it is already setup. 1125

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ganga/python/Ganga
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added associated_files to ShareDir, a list of IGangaFiles that are used by an application. 1106
* Change to signature of decrementShareCounter and incrementShareCounter in IPrepareApp. Both take ShareDir objects now. 1106
* Change to signature of decrease and increase methods in the PrepRegistry. Both take ShareDir objects now. 1106
* Added counterVal method to get shareref counter of a ShareDir. 1106
* maxFiles attribute added to GangaDatasetSplitter. Default is -1, use all files. 1105
* Bugfix for proxy returning objects properly. 1103
* Bugfix to transform unit creation and checking 1120
* Argsplitter can use GaudiExec extraArgs attribute. args take precedence if in the application schema. 1119
* Ganga optimised bigly. 917
Bugfix: CPU bottleneck in constructing objects inheriting from GangaObject
Bugfix: Race condition in credential managment
Feature: Improved parallel monitoring on backends which support standard interface
Cleanup: using __slots__ and _additional_slots for managing attributes
Cleanup: simplified thread locking
