ganga/python/Ganga
- Performance improvements when handling large lists of GangaObjects
- Removed Ganga re-exec during launch
- `runMonitoring` now has default timeout of 5min (300s) to allow long jobs to correctly monitor and update subjobs on backends
- Fixed bug in IPython buffer flushing whilst typing multi-line functions
- Fixed problem with Registry file locking
- Improved shutdown code
- New interactive sessions will stop the monitoring loop if existing sessions are discovered via lockfiles on disk
*\* type `enableMonitoring()` to re-enable monitoring in these sessions if required (may be unsafe)
- Various code cleanups

---

ganga/python/GangaDirac
- Added `monitorJobs` and `getBulkStateTime` to Ganga<->(LHCb)Dirac interface
- Significantly reduced number of calls to DIRAC backend for job monitoring/completion
- Slightly better handling of missing/invalid DIRAC proxy whilst running
- Bugfixes around Offline file Splitter and optimisations around extremely large numbers of LFN (list->set)
- General performance improvements

---

ganga/python/GangaLHCb
- Fixing some bugs in the construction of large Datasets from BKQuery
*\* (most time taken in executing a new large request against DIRAC)
- Added intial (WORK IN PROGRESS) support for CMake projects via new `GaudiRun` Application
*\* Still doesn't fully support Gauss+GaussSplitter
*\* Initial functionality of old-style Gaudi and GaudiPython applications complete
*\* No support (yet) for MassStorageFile in the inputdata
*\* No support (yes) for unique inputfiles per subjob via a splitter
- Improved handling of LHCbDirac environment caching

---

ganga/python/Ganga
- Adding individual postprocessors to jobs has been fixed 402
- Condor jobs can split by dataset 390
- Minor monitoring fix when there are strange errors from the Condor backend
- Fixed some minor bugs in preparing some jobs
- GangaDataset made more user friendly

---

ganga/python/GangaDirac
- Dirac has gained the option to set the default output SE for files (optional)
- Some performance improvements with communicating with the DIRAC server (reduced Dirac calls/reduced code fluff in Ganga)
- Some older configuration settings have been deprecated, some new configuration options have been added.
Removed: DiracOutputDataSE, load_default_Dirac_backend, DiracDefaultSE
Added: RequireDefaultSE, statusmapping (for devs), queueable_dirac_statuses (for devs), userVO
- Can now use the bashrc directly from dirac-ui and elsewhere so don't need a Ganga specific env conig file
- DIRAC 'Completed' jobs are now considered to be 'running' due to the transfer of output data
- Fixed bugs where files vanished during jobs completing and jobs reverting status within DIRAC fixed

---

ganga/python/GangaLHCb
- All new DIRAC settings have been made configurable within LHCb config
- LHCb config now managed LHCb specific settings (RequireDefaultSE, DiracCommandFiles, userVO, allDiracSE)
- LHCb now inherits more closely from vanilla DIRAC in Ganga even though all code is executed against an LHCbDIRAC instance
- Added initial support for LHCb specific integration tests

---

ganga/python/GangaAtlas
- Ignore comments in files input for --inPfnListFile
- Added the output_loc_to_input option to AthenaSplitterJob to map input files to output dirs
- --inPfnListFile now takes a comma separated list and uses output_loc_to_input to
direct the different outputs to appropriate dirs
- Patches from HammerCloud to set homepackage correctly and use AGIS JSON file for queue/DDM mapping
- Some Atlas code cleanup

---

ganga/python/GangaLSST
- New plugin for the LSST experiment. DIRAC RTHandler finsihed so grid jobs work and have been tested.

---

ganga/python/Ganga
- This release has improved the resilience of Ganga to corruption in the on-disk data repository.
- The tasks system has been fixed and should now be fully functional.

---

ganga/python/Ganga
- This release has once more focused on stability and reducing thread-based deadlocks
- Some spurious warning messages on startup have been removed. PR 227

---

ganga/python/Ganga
- This release focused on making sure that jobs are flushed to disk in a timely fashion. They should all be flushed every 30 seconds as well as at the beginning and end of submit()
- job.subjobs.select(...) now works as expected. PR 253
- The messages printed by the monitoring loop's heartbeat checker have been temporarily disabled. PR 269

---

ganga/python/GangaLHCb
- A fix for the Gaudi bug where DataObjectDescriptorCollection() was not found. PR 280
