We are happy to announce the release of Rivet 2.4.2.

This is a minor release which adds 5 new LHC analyses, adds various robustness and logistical improvements, and fixes bugs in analyses and in PID code interpretation.

The last of these was introduced only in 2.4.1 and could lead to small errors in jet tagging and unstable particle decay studies: for this reason we recommend immediate upgrade of any Rivet 2.4.1 installations to 2.4.2. It is available, as always, for manual or script-assisted build from the Rivet website.

Please note that in most cases Rivet 2.4.2 should be built against version 1.5.9 of the YODA histogramming package. The YODA 1.6.x series requires C++11 and is primarily intended for the approaching Rivet 2.5.x releases. However, if you are already building Rivet with a -std=c++11 compiler flag (or similar) then there should be no problem with using the latest YODA.
