We are proud to announce the release of the new major version of Rivet, v3.0. The major feature in this release is a reworking of the histogram management system to allow for efficient use of multiple event weights without obsfucating analysis codes. This is the first step toward Rivet providing full and automatic handling of event simulation systematic uncertainties for the hundreds of bundled experimental analyses.

This release also brings in a large number of new analyses synced from the Herwig MC validation collection, the latest set of refinements to the heavy ion analysis systems, and many smaller interface improvements. Several interface components long-marked as deprecated have been removed in this release.
