News:

• August 1, 2015: New simple email list. ccdb_changes reports recent activity on the CCDB.
• July 30, 2015: New wiki page. Policy on CCDB Variations for Reconstructing Simulated Data
• July 30, 2015: ifarm.jlab.org is changing. Use "ifarm62" for CentOS 6.2, "ifarm65" for CentOS 6.5. "ifarm" is the same as "ifarm65" (it used to point to CentOS 6.2 nodes).
• July 30, 2015: Git info. There is a wiki page with a collection of links related to the recent conversion from Subversion to Git.
• July 29, 2015: New releases. hdds 3.3, sim-recon 1.4.0

The legacy version of this page is here.
