4.0.0-pre5

This release provides a checkpoint before the switch to PEC data format of version 3.3.0 (which is yet to be finalized). It is expected to be the last release to be used with setup for ICHEP'16.

Updates:

• Module PECReader has been aligned with PEC classes of version 3.2.0-rc1.
• Pileup profiles, lepton scale factors, and b-tagging scale factors have been updated to ICHEP'16.

Improvements:

• Enable reading of cMVA b tags.
• Read b-tagging thresholds from a JSON file.
• Save mean weight in Dataset::File.
• It is now possible to construct datasets from a JSON configuration. The relevant class is DatasetBuilder.
• Explicit relative paths are now supported in FileInPath.
• Independent variations for different datasets can now be specified in GenWeightSyst.
• A small PEC file is added to the repository for testing.

Bug fixes:

• In LeptonFilter cut on pseudorapidity of the ECAL supercluster for electrons.

Deprecation:

• Process and generator codes in Dataset have been deprecated.

Doxygen documentation has been created. It is hosted at project's GitHub pages.
