Dear all,
I'm reporting another important milestone in the upgrade
of Genie toward version 3.
We have another working development branch called v3config2
which you can find here:
This is the upgrade of v3config (see my previous email)
where the source directory structure is completely
reorganized.
The new structure is the following
src/
|--- Apps // executable file source
|--- Framework // machinery structure
|--- Physics // Models organized by Physics process not by
author
|--- scripts
|--- Tools // Advanced tools: geometry drivers, flux,
reweight
Once again you are welcome to try it and give suggestions.
The functionality is exactly the same as in v3config, no
differences from this point of view.
Let me add a few comments about the remaining path toward
v3 and what this step represents.
From the coding technical point of view, this was the major
issue to be faced in order to release v3 as it required a lot
of effort and breaks any connection with the old code.
This development branch - as it is now - is the best
candidate for genie v3 we have.
For this reason, the branch cannot stay separate from the
trunk for too long as people should to be able to work on the
code as soon as possible and the longer we wait the harder the
merge will be.
Ideally, we would like to merge this with the trunk by the
end of January, if no major issues arise. Ideally even
earlier.
This will allow the following release schedule which has
already been discussed and agreed on:
End of January - Merge of v3config2 in trunk,
allowing bug fixes and a further development from model
developers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of February - Code will be frozen and supported global
configurations will be decided
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> Here we'll have a month to tune the models with the
new Genie/Professor machinery
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of March - Release of GENIE v3
As you can see the schedule is very tight but there is no
reason to further delay this milestone, as the code has been
checked by a number of people and
looks in good shape.
Once again, suggestions and feedback are welcome.
All the best,
Marco
