    ============================ GaudiExamples v27r1 =============================

    ! 2016-03-11 - commit 4912fc9

     - Renamed MetaDataSvc to Gaudi::MetaDataSvc

       MetaDataSvc is moved into the Gaudi namespace to avoid conflicts
     with the
       existing MetaDataSvc in ATLAS.
        This also includes a minor fix to MetaDataSvc.
        Fixes GAUDI-1199
        See merge request !138

    ! 2016-03-10 - commit 2de9290

     - added metadata service

       The metadata service adds information about n-tuple production into the
       resulting n-tuple.
        Update and overrides !128
        See merge request !136

    ! 2016-03-10 - commit 4a18175

     - removed uses of templates implements[1-4], extends[1-4] and
       extend_interfaces[1-4]

       Since merge request !22 they are unnecessary.
        See merge request !133

    ! 2016-03-10 - commit 8a11f51

     - fixed unprotected debug messages

       I also added the possibility of dumping a stack trace for unprotected

       messages.
        Fixes GAUDI-1192
        See merge request !129

    ! 2016-02-29 - commit 223ce08

     - Merge branch 'GAUDI-1183' into 'master'

       reorganize DataHandleHolder visitor acces to avoid non-retrieved tools
        This is not a perfect fix, more a workaround.
        The method `initToolHandles` have been modified to fill the list of used
       `ToolHandle`s only with the tools retrieved explicitly in the `initialize`
       method.

       `GaudiCommon` required the introduction of a hook so that the custom _fixer_
       visitor could be created in the `GaudiCommon::initialize`, but used only at
       the end of `PBASE::sysInitialize` (eb39274).
        I also fixed an issue (double delete) with the use of `ToolHandle` from
       `GaudiCommon` (0a1bec8).
        Fixes GAUDI-1183.

    ! 2016-02-11 - commit e2c585c

     - Remove globalTimeOffset getter and GlobalTimeOffset property from GaudiCommon

       GaudiCommon adds a property GlobalTimeOffset and a corresponding getter
       globalTimeOffset to every algorithm/tool which uses GaudiCommon, regardless
       on whether this property is used.

       As there is no code anymore that actually uses globalTimeOffset, this patch
       removes this accessor and the corresponding property.

       Fixes GAUDI-1122.

    ! 2016-02-11 - commit dabf7a3

     - Restore fixed ToolHandle.h

       The version of ToolHandle.h before fa29ed33 included some improvements,
     as
       well as the fixes for https://sft.its.cern.ch/jira/browse/CFHEP-177 and
       GAUDI-1127.
        The version introduced with fa29ed33 does not work because of GAUDI-1127.

    ! 2016-01-12 - commit 8ec1b7b

     - return the just-added tool from addTool

       augment addTool to return the tool it just added.
     This allows one to write:
       ```python
     myToolWithName = myalg.addTool(tool_conf2,"ToolWithName")

       myToolWithName.String = "xyz"
       ```
     instead of
       ```python
     myalg.addTool(tool_conf2,"ToolWithName")

       myalg.ToolWithName.String = "xyz"
       ```
     which requires one to duplicate the "ToolWithName" -- once as string,
       and
     once as attribute, but only rarely does anybody use getattr for the 2nd

       case to just avoid the duplication.
        Of course, one could write
       ```python
     myalg.addTool(tool_conf2,"ToolWithName", String="xyz")
       ```
     or even pass in a complete dictionary with **, but the configuration of

       the tool isn't necessarily complete at the time of creation of its

       configurable.

    ! 2015-10-29 - commit aa624e1

     - Allow compilation of Gaudi with clang 3.7 using gcc 4.9 externals

       To do so, some arguments have to be passed to cmake, assuming CMTCONFIG is
       x86_64-slc6-clang37-opt
        * LCG_SYSTEM: To specify the flavour of the externals to use
        * LCG_FORCE_COMPILER: To specify the compiler to use, with the
          format "<compiler>-<version>" (an lcg wrapper has to exist for
          this to work).

       Using the LHCb Makefiles, you just need to specify:
       ``` export CMAKEFLAGS="-DLCG_SYSTEM=x86_64-slc6-gcc49
       -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1 -DLCG_FORCE_COMPILER=clang-3.7"
       ```

    ============================ GaudiExamples v26r4 =============================

    ! 2015-10-07 - commit e3e20a4

     - Merge branch 'GAUDI-1078' into 'master'

       GAUDI-1078: include caller algorithm name in messages from public tools

       Using a feature developed in the LHCb software update the Error, Warning and
       Info method for tools that inherit from GaudiTool to, when created as public
       tools (defined by ultimately being owned by the ToolSvc) to append the
       current active algorithm name to the end of each method.

       So for instance if a private tool would print

           TestToolAlg.ToolC    INFO TestTool:: test info

       a public instance instead prints

           ToolSvc.ToolB        INFO TestTool:: test info [TestToolAlg]

       This feature has proved very useful in applications where a very large number
       of algorithms all use the same public tools, as it allows problems associated
       with what the caller is doing to be much more easy isolated.

       Closes GAUDI-1078.

    ! 2015-09-25 - commit 35dd00c

     - Merge branch 'dev-smartif-use' into 'master'

       Provide (and use) C++11 smart pointer 'look and feel' for SmartIF

       The aim of this branch is to confine, for everything that inherits from
       IInterface, the calls to addRef(), release() and queryInterface() to the
       SmartIF implementation. Exceptions are a few places where interfaces
       (currently) return bare pointers (instead of SmartIF...) and where one thus
       has to addRef() explicitly to avoid returning a dangling pointer. This can be
       avoided by changing the relevant interface to return a SmartIF instead of a
       bare pointer.

       In addition, make SmartIF 'look and feel' like a smart pointer.

       - use explict bool conversion instead of .isValid()
       - add SmartIF::as<IFace>(), to return a SmartIF<IFace> to an alternate
          interface -- which (together with move) encourages the use of auto
       - add ISvcLocator::as<IFace>(), to return a SmartIF<IFace> to the current
       ISvcLocator.
       - add ServiceManager::service<IFace>() which return SmartIF<IFace> which
       encourages
          the use of auto

       And add a few other C++11 modernizations (eg. prefer STL over raw loop)

    ! 2007-02-13 - Vanya Belyaev
      patch #1024
     - python/Properties.py
       python/ExtendedProperties.py

       Two python examples
      (full analogues for C++ exmples
       options/Property.opt and options/ExtendedProperties.opts)
       which illustrates the usage of simple and extended
        properties through python

       The last couple of lines for both scripts are commented,
       since gaudimodule.iProperty.properties() method
       is broken with reimplementation using PropertyEntry class.

       th ecorrect behavior is easy to turn on,
       one just need to replace the line:

             dct[p.name()] = PropertyEntry(p)

       with the correct line:

              dct[p.name()] = self.__getattr__( p.name() )

       The real problem is that PropertyEntry is
       assumes that property coudl be ONLY of type
       either ATLAS' GaudiHandler or some primitive type.
       PropertyEntry does not support the property types,
       widely used in LHCb.

     - options/DataOnDemandSvc.opts

       1) replace the (old) properties DataOnDemand.Nodes and
       DataOnDemand.Algorithms with new ma-like properties
       DataOnDemand.NodeMap and DataOnDemand.AlgMap
       2) make use of shorter TES paths (omit the leading
        '/Event')

     - python/Aida2RootEx.py
         the same in Python
     - python/TupleEx3.py
         new example which illustrates more possibilities to fill
         N-tuples with arrays&matrices
     - python/EvtColWrite.py
         tiny fix

    ! 2007-01-23 - Pere Mato

       set by GaudiKernel to $GAUDIKERNELROOT/$(tag)/Gaudi.exe.

       memcheck has been chosen.

    ! 2006-10-10 - Hubert Degaudenzi
     - removed the use of the environment variable GAUDIPOOLDBROOT in the
