May 31 1999, "dev" version of Library has been tagged as SL99d_1 and moved to "new".

The main purpose of this release is to fix a problem with macro doEvents.C and get it working for MDC1, MDC2 and post MDC2 .xdf and .root files

"dev" branch is remained SL99e and will be used for development.

The present release assignment is:

SL98j (SL98j_1)

SL98l(SL98l_1)

old -> SL99a (SL99a_2)

pro -> SL99b (tagged as SL99b) MDC2 production version

SL99c (tagged as SL99c_1)

new -> SL99d (tagged as SL99d_1)

dev -> SL99e
