Dear all,

We are happy to announce the release of Rivet 2.4.3.

This is a minor release which adds 5 new LHC analyses, finally validates 
several older unofficial analyses, and provides minor fixes to two more. 
In addition several bug fixes, and robustness & logistical improvements 
have been made to the build system, error logging, script user 
interfaces, and plotting code.

As usual we recommend all users to upgrade to this version immediately. 
It is available, as always, for manual or script-assisted build from the 
Rivet website at http://rivet.hepforge.org/

Please note that in most cases Rivet 2.4.3 should be built against 
version 1.5.9 of the YODA histogramming package. The YODA 1.6.x series 
requires C++11 and is primarily intended for the approaching Rivet 2.5.x 
releases. However, if you are already building Rivet with a -std=c++11 
compiler flag (or similar) then there should be no problem with using 
the latest YODA.

Best wishes,
The Rivet team

PS. More adventurous users may also be interested in the testing 
releases for Rivet 2.5.0 -- a second beta version was recently released 
and is available from the website and via the "2.5.0beta2" branch of our 
bootstrap script. This version adds a new projection-based system for 
detector smearing in BSM analyses, as well as improved 
beam-centre-of-mass-frame tools and other improvements.
