    New Millepede II version presented by V. Blobel at the · 6ee1abb0
    Gero Flucke authored and Claus Kleinwort's avatar Claus Kleinwort committed
    3rd LHC Detector Alignment Workshop, June 15-16, 2009, CERN
    (http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=50502).
    
    new features:
    ------------
    - new preconditioning for GMRES
       * not limiting the number of parameters to 46340
       * always applied, even if 'bandwidth' not chosen
       * one method with explicit bandwith, another without (and width 1)
         (recommendation: do NOT specify bandwidth option)
    - fix problem in hash values for label pairs that was limiting to 46340
       parameters
    - line search with slope = 0, not minimum
       (-> better stability with outlier rejection)
    - re-calculates the matrix in case of large number of rejects due to many
       outliers (might be slower, but more robust)
    - new options
       * 'savespace': reduce memory needs of LOOP2 that was larger than needed
                      for final matrix
                      (also speeds up significantly, so recommended)
       * 'presigma 0.1': assign presigma of 0.1 to all labels where no
                         explicit presigma was set
       * 'regularisation 1. 0.04': regularisation with tau = 1,
          i.e. add tau * ||x|| to the minimised function where x is the
          vector of alignment parameters, devided by their individual presigma
          (includes 'presigma 0.04')
          This should reduce the influence of weak modes, but needs detailed
          studies.
    
    Note also:
    ----------
    - remaining matrix solution methods are GMRES, sparseGMRES,
       diagonalisation and inversion, the others are removed
    - no global correlations stated in inversion
    - millepede.log not that readable anymore (but pede.dump is better now)
    - pede now has an exit code that can differ from 0.
