+</head>
+
+<h1>Release Notes - SLIC - Version 2.0</h1>
+
+<h2>I. Overview</h2>
+
+<p>
+These are the release notes for the SLIC 2.0 release. This
+corresponds to the CVS tag v2r0p7 in the SLAC CVS.
+<p>
+
+<p>
+The <a href="http://www.lcsim.org/software/slic/">slic homepage</a>
+has links to documentation for this software package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <a
+href="http://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/ilc/SLIC">SLIC
+Wiki</a> is a good source of information where you may add comments,
+corrections, etc.
+</p>
+
+<h2>II. Getting SLIC</h2>
+
+<p>
+The SLIC source code is anonymously accessible using the following command.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>cvs -d :pserver:[log in to unmask]:/cvs/lcd co slic</i>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The sources can also be <a
+href="http://source.freehep.org/jcvsweb/ilc/slic/list/slic">browsed online</a>.
+
+<p>
+Binaries are available from the <a href="http://www.lcsim.org/dist/slic/">slic distribution directory</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Finally, the SimDist project is a standalone package for building slic
+plus all of its dependencies. It is also accessible via the SLAC cvs.
+SimDist can be obtained and built as follows.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>
+cvs -d :pserver:[log in to unmask]:/cvs/lcd co SimDist<br>
+cd SimDist<br>
+./configure [options]<br>
+make
+</i>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+SimDist is the preferred method for users to build slic, as
+configuring slic and all 7 of its dependencies from scratch
+is prone to error.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+These are the current package versions used by SimDist.
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>clhep v1r9p2_2</li>
+<li>gdml v2r5p0_2</li>
+<li>geant4 v8r1p02</li>
+<li>lcdd v1r11p1</li>
+<li>lcio v1r7p2</li>
+<li>lcphys v1r0p1</li>
+<li>slic v2r0p7</li>
+<li>xerces v2r7p0</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Other versions <i>may or may not work</i>. In general, only the
+versions withint SimDist are tested for compatability. If you are
+maintaining a slic installation manually without using SimDist, it is
+highly recommended that you update to these package versions or slic may
+either fail to build or not work correctly.
+</p>
+
+<h2>III. This Release</h2>
+
+<p>
+Since the releases for slic have not been very regular, a number of
+items from the Jira were reassigned to the 2.0 release in the interest
+of consolidation. All Jira items in the 1.14.0 release were
+reassigned to 2.0, and the 1.14.0 release was deleted, as it was
+never released.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+No major, new features have been introduced this version. See the
+Improvement and New Feature sections for some minor, additional features
+that were added.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A few, relatively minor, bugs were fixed. There has not been any
+major reworking of MCParticle codes, etc., though there are still
+several outstanding bugs in this area that are currently being worked on.
+</p>
+
+<h2>IV. Issue Summary</h2>
