new library SL14a tagged as SL14a has been created and built on SL6.4 (32bits & 64bits) and SL5.3 platforms;
default compiler on SL6.4 is gcc 4.4.7 . Library was tested and released on January 21.

Main features:

- implemented event filtering by trigger ID for reconstruction processing;
- added new schema for dX calculation in dEdX for large distortions in TPC for pp 500GeV, run 2013;
- added new method to calculate nSigma for fitted dE/dx; the values added in MuDst; the default values calculated using truncated mean are saved in MuDst as well;
- StPeCMaker modified to add track extrapolation to TOF for peripheral events;
- StMagUtilities.cxx/h modified to account for GG voltage errors; improved speed of data processing for Space Charge corrections;
- several bugs have been fixed;
