News:

Used Set Bug--in releases previous to 4.11.1 ( including 4.9.1phys1 and 4.10.0prex), some incorrect database entries nonetheless have isValid set true. These can be explicitly rejected by requiring that beamline x!=0; or by patching:
```
addpkg Alignment patch_4_11_1
```
This is corrected in 4.11.1 and later versions
4.11.1 Beam Width Bug Patch--in 4.11.1 (only) the z-dependent width returned by the code is not correct. This can be patched using
```
 addpkg VertexObjects v4_11_2
```
It is corrected for 4.11.2.

How-To

Accessing the beamline database for 4.8.4+4.9.1 refit, or 4.11.1 (since the time this note was written, most runs have been made accessible via the database)
Using beamlines in Monte Carlo

History codes:

History Code 17: For 4.8.4 data processed without refitting tracks
History Code 19: For 4.8.4 data processed with 4.9.1 track refitting
Use History Code 19 if you want a Silicon beamline, unless you really know what you are doing!
