Following discussions at the MIDAS workshop, we propose to move MIDAS from c++11 to c++17. There is
many new features and we want to start using some of them.

|
Historically, building MIDAS with ROOT caused us many problems - build failures because of c++ version
mismatch, CFLAGS mismatch; run-time failures because of ROOT library mismatches; etc, etc.

Hi,
at the LEM Experiment at PSI, we still use mana.c and would like to keep it until end of 2026, where we will enter a long shutdown.
There we will switch to the manalyzer. Before that, there is simply no time for the change over. One thing I already noticed is the "lack" of documentation, |

Excellent, good to hear from you! Once we remove ROOT support rmana.o will be gone, only mana.o (no ROOT) will remain. Will this break your builds?

Sorry,
I have had now the time to dig deeper in our code and realized that we actually use rmana, i.e. WITH ROOT. If there is an easy way to incorporate the necessary |

I would like to know whether all parameters used by the frontend code have to be in the "Experiment/
Run Parameters" section. This section can become big and difficult to maintain, because it is one single
big section of experim.h (EXP_PARAM_DEFINED). I have parameters the various frontends read at the

We've had mhttpd aborting regularly since upgrading from midas-1.9.3. This
happens during elog queries, and is due to an elog file that was incorrectly
modified by hand. The modification to the file occurred 6 months ago.
