This release extends the new smearing machinery to include standard MET and electron efficiencies as well as their application in several new (search) analyses.

The Particle and Jet classes have also been enhanced significantly, allowing very expressive analysis code based on filter_select and filter_discard, useful in particular for decay analyses.

A new projection for PartonicTops has been added. This analysis approach is strongly discouraged, but the provision of a standard method means that we can still benefit from analyses done that way, and that those analyses are straightforward to write with minimal validation.
