Due to technical problems Wiki, Subversion and forum of the GSI are not reachable from outside the GSI. The Linux team is working on this problem but it could take few days!

• ØMQ 3.2.2

The "SVN" structure for FairRoot is changed. FairRoot here means the fairbase directory of the fairroot subversion repository. The release branch is freezed. It is set to read only for everybody and will not be updated anymore. Tags will be used from now on, the first tag v-13.03 is available.

Today a new version of the external packages sep12 has been released. Beside many updated versions of packages there are some changes.

From this version on it is only possible to install the external packages into a separate installation directory. After the installation is completed it is possible to remove the source directory.

We add support for the clang compiler.

The clhep package has been removed completely. The needed functionality is now part of Geant4.
