[Rivet-announce] Rivet 2.5.3 and YODA 1.6.6 released

[Andy Buckley]

Dear Rivet users,

We are very pleased to release Rivet 2.5.3, and at the same time a minor 
update to the YODA histogramming library. Both new releases are 
available from the project webpages at

   https://rivet.hepforge.org/
   https://yoda.hepforge.org/

A total of 18 new analyses have been added to Rivet, covering 
experimental results from all four LHC collaborations, as well as a LEP 
jet and event shapes analysis, and several BSM search analyses using the 
new detector simulation features.

In addition, the detector smearing machinery has been extended to 
include PID-specific tracking efficiencies and photon efficiencies based 
on Delphes' tabulation (NB. both sets of efficiencies are identical 
between ATLAS and CMS!), and a bug has been fixed in how the SmearedJets 
projection handles tagging efficiencies.

Finally, a 'keyword' mechanism has been introduced to the 'rivet' script 
to allow convenient calling of groups of related analyses; 
MissingMomentum now provides 'p' as well as 'E' kinematics; and a number 
of small bugfixes and syntactic/interface improvements have been made.

We recommend that all Rivet users update to use these new versions as 
soon as possible.

Best wishes and merry Christmas!
The Rivet team
