    new library SL16i tagged as SL16i has been created and built on SL6.4 (32bits & 64bits );
    default compiler is gcc 4.8.2 . Library was tested with standard test suite, passed it successfully and released on September 09.

    Main features:

    - code improvement to speed up reconstruction by ~10% ;
    - refactoring vertex finding code to help PPV to find the optimal vertex position when a 3D fit to vertex is used;
    - several bugs fixed;

    Next codes have been updated:

    StRoot
