RELEASE NOTES for VIMOS pipeline 4.1.14
------------------------------------

==> DFS COMPONENT NAME:     VIMOS pipeline

==> DFS COMPONENT RELEASE NUMBER:    4.1.14

==> DFS RELEASE TYPE: Annual release for PSO

==> DELIVERED BY: Cesar Garcia     ON: 2019-04-01

==> MAIN REASON OF THE DELIVERY: Scheduled delivery

==> DEADLINE FOR DELIVERY OUTSIDE DFS GROUP: 2019-04-01

==> CONFIGURATION REQUIRED FOR INTEGRATION TESTS:
    - Standard VLT pipeline workstation.
    - VLT & DFS latest software releases.

==> LIST AND LOCATION OF SPECIFIC TEST DATA TO BE RETRIEVED AND USED FOR
INTEGRATION TESTS:

==> POINTS ALREADY CHECKED DURING UNIT TESTS:
   - Successful build on VLT target platform(s)
   - Regression tests of recipes
   - Correctness of pipeline products
   - Integration with gasgano

==> POINTS TO BE CAREFULLY CHECKED DURING INTEGRATION TESTS
    - Verify that the new DO correctly classifies files for all the rules
    - Verify regression test on creation of reduction blocks
    - Verify that each reduction block causes a pipeline recipe to be triggered
      and that the recipe terminates in a controlled manned
   - Verify that the pipeline products do not cause errors in the subsequent
     data flow
