ganga/ganga/Ganga

• Major re-ordering of code. The module Ganga has been renamed to GangaCore to resolve problems with case
  insensitive operating systems (MacOS) #1183. The python folder has been renamed to ganga and the release notes
  and templates moved into it (GangaRelease and GangaTemplates). When installing with pip Ganga now appears as a
  single module (ganga) and the release notes are now included. When importing ganga in python import.ganga has
  become import ganga.ganga . Subsequently the ganga namespace is available as usual (i.e. print ganga.jobs). #1198
• Bugfix for logging. INFO message should be cached until a new prompt. #1197
• Bugfix for showing configs. #1187
• Bugfix for ganga shutdown. #1195
• Parallel submit disabled by default for local jobs. Can be used with j.backend.force_parallel=True . #1208
• Slurm backend now available. #1192

---

ganga/ganga/GangaDirac

• Now use getReplicasForJobs when splitting with OfflineGangaDiracSplitter. #1203

---

ganga/ganga/GangaLHCb

• Bugfix for BenderBox. #1184
• Bugfix to uploading replica of job script and cmake tarballs for GaudiExec. Instead of raising an exception
  on failure ganga will give a warning and try another SE. In case of no successful SE an exception is raised. #1190 and #1182

  the Dirac backend is 'bulkSubmit' which is set to true by default. The number per process is set by
  the option 'maxSubjobsPerProcess' in the DIRAC configuration. #1131 and #1138

---

ganga/python/GangaLHCb

• The LHCbDirac environment has been hard-coded to x86_64-slc6-gcc49-opt so jobs can be submitted from any platform. #1134
