OpenSuse: 13.1, 13.2, 42.1
Fedora: 20, 21, 22
Debian: 7, 8
Ubuntu: 14.04, 15.04, 15.10

New packages:

Sodium: 1.0.3

Update of the following packages:

CMake: 3.1.0 -> 3.3.2
Boost: 1.58.0 -> 1.59.0
Pythia8: 183 -> 212
GEANT4: 10.1.0 -> 10.1.p02

Second patch of FairSoft release jul15 (jul15p2)

Compared to jul15p1 the following changes have been implemented.

1. Geant3 data files will be also installed if FairSoft is build with Root5
2. Force building Geant3 without optimization. Optimization introduce errors when using a new gfortran compiler.

First patch of FairSoft release jul15 (jul15p1)

Compared to jul15 the following changes have been implemented.

1. CMake now uses the curl installation from the system. This solves the problem with failing uploads due to ssl errors. The FairSoft configure script checks if the curl library and header files are installed in the system.
2. When running the FairRoot test macros using ROOT6 the needed Geant3 header file TGeant3 is now correctly found.
3. When building FairSoft with ROOT5 the pluto package is build again.
4. It is now possible to build FairSoft with a non system compiler, e.g. gcc on Mac OSX. To do this the C and C++ compilers are explicitly set when executing cmake.

FairSoft release July 2015 (jul15)

Beside updating many packages to newer versions it is now possible to install and use ROOT6 instead of ROOT5. ROOT6 should be only used for test setups and not for production setups. For production setups only ROOT5 should be used. More details how to install ROOT6 can be found in the README file.

Compilation of FairSoft with both ROOT versions was tested and worked on the following systems.

Mac OSX: 10.9, 10.10
