This version of artdaq includes a number of enhancements and bug fixes, as described below.

Through artdaq_core v1_04_16, this version of artdaq can be built against art v1_15_01 (s14), v1_14_03 (s12), v1_14_02 (s11), v1_13_02 (s8), or v1_13_01 (s7). It can also be built with gcc v4_9_1 (e6) or v4_9_2 (e7) [both use -std=c++1y]. However, Please Note that data files written by artdaq when using art v1_15_01 or v1_14_04 can not be read back, so these builds of art should be avoided.

The initial builds on SciSoft include e7:s8 and e7:s11 builds.

Also, artdaq can be built with the Infiniband or Ethernet MPI libraries, and these are controlled by qualifiers ib and eth.

The default set of qualifiers for this version of artdaq is e7:s11:eth.
