- Update to version 2.2.6:
  * Add initial-state p_z and inelasticity selectors for DIS (#80)
  * Improve the reweighting to include the local K=BBar/B factor

    heavy flavour production fractions and meson/baryon ratios.
  - Updates to Recola interface with some new parameter (names),
    please refer to the manual.
  - Make STRICT_METS the default scale setter to guarantee full
    scale setting accuracy for unweighted events.
  * New features
  - Availability of DIRE NLO parton shower (cf.
    arXiv:1705.00742). This is not (yet) the default shower, in
    particular not in NLO-merged configurations.
  - Higher numerical stability in parton shower kinematics
    (re)construction.
  - Add OVERWEIGHT_THRESHOLD allowing user to cap maximal weight
    during event generation (cf. manual).

    3 or 4.
  * Bugfixes
  - Bugfix in NLO-matched parton shower emission for non-trivial
    colour structures like in V+2j@NLO. This fixes an eta
    asymmetry which was visible at the ~2% level in such
    samples.
  - BSM models through UFO: fix running coupling behaviour and
    treatment of exotic color octets.
  - Bugfix in random generator for Poisson distributions with
    large mean values.
  - Bugfixes for segfaults and compiler warnings with gcc 7.1.
  - Bugfix for colour assignment in clustering for loop-induced
    merged processes.
  - Bugfix for decay showering in conjunction with NLO+PS
    matching.
- Change BuildRequires HepMC-devel to HepMC2-devel: not compatible
  with HepMC >= 3.0.
- Rename libSHERPA-MC-config to libSHERPA-MC0-config that follows
  the shared lib versioning. In addition the ld.so.conf.d file is
  also renamed to follow the shared lib version to make it
  possible to install multiple versions of the shared lib.
- Rebase SHERPA-MC-no-return-in-non-void-function.patch and add
  fixes for one more function showing the same issue in version
  2.2.4.
- GCC >= 6.0 required, build fails with older GCC for openSUSE <=
  1320.

- Update to version 2.2.3:
  * Support for the Recola one-loop generator for QCD corrections.
- Add SHERPA-MC-no-return-in-non-void-function.patch -- Fix a
  non-void (bool) function that was not returning any data to
  return "true".

- Shared library package must only contain time-unique names;
  split off libSHERPA-MC-config.

- use individual libboost-*-devel packages instead of boost-devel

- Update to version 2.2.1:
  * Incoporation of approximate NLO EW corrections in MEPS@NLO
    simulation as described in arXiv:1511.08692
  * On-the-fly renormalisation and factorisation scale, PDF and
    alpha_s variations in the matrix elements for LO, LOPS, NLOPS,
    MEPS, MENLOPS and MEPS@NLO simulations as described in
    arXiv:1606.08753

    total cross section in heavy quark production at the level of
    few permille.

    production has been fixed.

    grids generated with previous versions.
  + The Python interface to access Sherpa's matrix elements has
    been updated and supplemented with a C++ interface.
  + A bug in the CS subtraction in DRED has been fixed.
- Changes from version 2.1.0:

  + Spin correlated decay chains (Comix only), includes all 1->2
    and 1->3 decays allowed by the model, iterated to arbitrary
    decay chain length, all decay steps are dressed with QCD
    parton showers and QED corrections
  + MC@NLO H events with Comix, speeds up initialisation and
    runtime
