More details can be found at the associated release notes entitled: Backward-incompatible changes to ProcessCcdTask and subtasks. (DM-4692)

  • Some changes were made to the butler concerning the use of multiple repositories and configuration. These changes are not backwards compatible and various obs_* packages have been modified to support the new APIs. More details can be found at the post: Recent Butler changes: Repository class and ‘cfg’ configuration . (DM-4683)
