************************************************************************
                         ATTENTION!

1. The version 4.4.90 and later has some incompatibilities with previous one!
2. THIS VERSION IS INTENDED FOR TESTS ONLY!!!
************************************************************************

This document describes changes made on all versions starting from 4.4.0

Changes v.4.4.3 -> v.4.4.90
============================
1.  A new version of the numerical batch script num_batch.pl
    Now it is the main tool to perform calculations with several subprocesses/
    The sciprt has comprehencive build-in help (./num_batch.pl --help)
2.  Two bugs in output (event files) have been fixed.
3.  Two bugs in generation of session.dat with s_comphep have been fixed.
4.  A new version of the program mk_tab. Now it can process event files 
    with several subprocesses in both new and old format.
5.  All PDFs in the beam/strfun tables have prefix PDF (or LHA, if LHAPDF 
    is interfaced)
6.  Diagram viewing is available in n_comphep (a new option in the main menu)
7.  Re-arranged menu "Initial State". Beam particle and PDF are separated.
8.  The LHA event file format has been added, still with no extra HepML tags.
9.  Now CompHEP is compatible with gcc-4.x
10. CompHEP can be compiled in two different modes: with OR without LHAPDF.
11. Several options to ./configure have been added: 
    --with-gcc4, --with-lhapdf, --debug, --help
12. New NUM_BATCH-HOWTO
13. LHAPDF_in_CompHEP-HOWTO


Changes v.4.4.2 -> v.4.4.3

2. Fixed bugs and clean up code.
---------------------------------

c,C->m,M subprocess with PDF: calculation of cross section was improved.
Some minor bugs were fixed.


3. Documentation and help files
---------------------------------

Some misprints in help files.


4. Interface
---------------------------------

NO

5. Source structure
---------------------------------

NO

6. Miscellaneous

Next stable version of CompHEP will be 4.6.0



Changes v.4.2.1 -> v.4.4.0
============================


Content
========

1. Incompatibilities
2. Fixed bugs and clean up code.
3. Documentation and help files
4. Interface
5. Source structure
6. Miscellaneous


1. Incompatibilities
----------------------

New scheme of work with initial beams and final composite particles was 
changed.

If you have a private model and want to use them with CompHEP-4.4.0, you 
have to copy cpart1.mdl file to cpartN.mdl file where N is a number of 
your model by commands:

   cd path_to_user_working_directory/model
   cp cpart1.mdl cpartN.mdl

All new composite particles must be introduce into table by using edit model 
facilities.


2. Fix the bugs and clean up code.
-----------------------------------

2.1. Compilation bug when CERN libraries do not available
2.2. Make randomization of momenta of 2 last particles in event file.
2.3. QCD lambda are taken from PDF now.


3. Documentation and help files
--------------------------------

3.1. SYMB_BATCH-HOWTO
3.2. NUM_BATCH-HOWTO
3.3. Help for beam table (s_beam_1.txt)
3.4. Help for structure function table (s_strfn_1.txt)


4. Interface
-------------

Symbolic part
        Add table for initial beam (proton, anti-proton, ...)
        Introduce switch F3 from beams to particles and vs.
        Change composite particle table (see [1])
        Introduce switch F3 from composite particles to particles and vs.
        Symbolic conservation law is off by default.
        LOCK file is restored.
        Maximum sum of output and input particles (MAXINOUT) is 10 by default.

Numerical part
        re-arrange menu "Width scheme"
        Change "Equiv.Photon(...)" to WWA

Common
        Re-arrangement of usage of messages and warnings.



5. Source structure
--------------------

5.1. All CompHEP libraries were collected into lib subdirectory
5.2. CompHEP PDF file standard description move to tbl-pdf directory
5.3. Files drandXX.[ch] move to service2 subdirectory



6. Miscellaneous
----------------
