art series 3.02¶
Previous series release notes
This is the first release that removes the ROOT dependency from core art functionality. Two new packages have been introduced:
Please consult the list of breaking changes to determine how your code should be adjusted to handle this migration.
New features¶
Various new features have been added, primarily addressing usability issues:
- The
'-e|--estart' program option now accepts a triplet of numbers corresponding to an art::EventID instead of one number (resolves issue #9594)
FileDumperOutput can now print out the art::ProductID along with the other product information (resolves issue #18153)- The SAM metadata stored in an art/ROOT file has been adjusted to better match what SAM expects (resolves issue #18983)
- Output-file renaming has been extended to allow for
Run and SubRun timestamps in the output file (resolves issue #19374)
- Configuration validation is now supported for
MixFilter detail classes (resolves issue #19970)
MixFilter detail classes can now directly call MixHelper::createEngine to get a reference to the art-managed random-number-engine (resolves issue #20063)- Other minor features
This series is the first to support macOS Mojave. As of art 3.02.00, art will no longer support macOS Sierra. In addition, the following compilers have been introduced for art 3.02.00:
- GCC 8.2.0 with C++17 enabled (
e19 qualifier)
- Clang 7.0.0 with C++17 enabled (
c2 qualifier)
See here for more detailed information about primary qualifiers.
Python 3 support¶
This series is the first to support Python 3, allowing users roughly 1 year to switch to Python 3 before the Python 2's end-of-life of January 1, 2020. Note that for technical reasons, Python 3 builds are not available for SLF6 platforms. In addition, the fhicl Python extension module is only supported for version 3.02.03 and newer.

art suite release notes 3.02.04 (2019/04/09)¶
Bug fixes¶
- The
art::Source template was not propagating a user-provided event history; this has been fixed.
- Out-of-order event processing, which was unintentionally disabled for art 3, has been restored (resolves issue #22297).
- As art 3.02 is the first series to use CLHEP 2.4, it is susceptible to the default random-number engine change from
HepJames to MixMax. This change affected which type of engine was initialized whenever the user specifies "G4Engine" as the engine type. This release restores the G4Engine to be of HepJames type. Please note that users should not call any Geant4 routines before the 'createEngine(..., "G4Engine", ...)' call has been made by the relevant module constructor.
Known issues¶
As of art 3.02.00, a configured module can be constructed for an art job, even if it has not been specified in a trigger path or end path. To avoid this unnecessary construction, please enable configuration pruning at the command line: 'art --prune-config -c <my_config> ...'. This bug has been logged as issue #22407.

Bug fixes¶
This version re-enables the fhicl Python extension module for the Python-3 builds by using pybind11.
Known issues¶
As of art 3.02.00, a configured module can be constructed for an art job, even if it has not been specified in a trigger path or end path.
