The summary of major changes in makers, classes, pams modules and macros in "new" branch of library since release in September 1 are outlining below.

• StBFChain - new class has been introduced to initialize "bfc" run default parameters, provide API to Set/Get run parameters, create and support lists for the Event structure ;

• StEventMaker - removed double includes,
• StEbyeScaMaker - set tables includes pointing to tables;
• StAnalysisMaker - modified to use Curtis new version of summarizeEvent that uses the QAInfo message manager method;
• St_QA_Maker - modified to be compiled on HP;
• St_tcl_Maker - added calls to limit error messages;
• St_tss_Maker - added calls to suppress error messages to Init();
• StFtpcV0Maker - set tables includes pointing to tables;
• StHbtMaker - updated Particle class and added parity and Pandys Coulomb correction, modified StHbtManager for implementation of persistent microDST;
• St_tss_Maker - initialisation for m_tpc_pedestal, m_readout_map and m_bad channels added;
• St_QACosmicMaker - added method to write out histograms and Ntuples;
• StV0MiniDstMaker - protected Make() if called in read mode, Protected Read() if file is not open, added StEvMiniDst class, new file handling, partially implemented Ttrees;

• params/tpc - added tsspar.es99.C, tss parameters for the simulations of the engineering run 99,  modified Trs.es99.C, e_6 removed from tZero, drift velocity set to match what is in tpg_detector.es99.C;

• ctf/cts - added cast to remove ambiguity between double and long double for HP;
• l3/ftf - added cast for HP;
• tpc/tss - formula for coupling in the y direction fixed, protection against negative coupling to the pad plane added,
• tpc/tcl - modified tph_fit_isolated_cluster.F to change StError call;
• tpc/tpt - added protection against z component of the filed being 0 for inverse transverse momentum calculation, calculation of radius changed to the calculation from curvature and not from inverse momentum
