Note that although the alma warnings count went down as expected with the shift to devtoolset-4, there are now 12 warnings for display that someone may want to look in to.
Script may not be using the right flags; Ville thinks this is not urgent; maybe resolved with movement to bamboo.
HPC
Will parallelization be included in the 5.0 release? Not clear.
Development
Interesting performance slowdown in running gencal for VLA quantizer. Cache in ms metadata not large enough somehow.

Fixed a VI2 logic problem in blcal
Fixed a few tasks that were still using global tools in whole or in part (which now doesn't work): imporevla, blcal, uvmodelfit)
CAS-9098: Further study of (rare) gencal slowdown for EVLA RQ---turns out many MSMetaData methods are filling its internal cache with large whole-MS column objects, and for the particular MS reported in the ticket 12.499M rows, leaving too little space in a 50MB (~=4*nrows!) for the time/field map, and so it gets re-calculated within a busy loop in the RQ parsing code. The answer was not to increase the cache (which would just cause datasets of a different size to be frustrated in a similar way (not to mention horrible waste of memory). Instead the cache in the gencal context is now made to be slightly smaller than the size of a scalar Int column. Dave will look at refining the caching conventions in MSMetaData.
CAS-10118: Fixed a problem with VI2 in ALMA Poln wherein the VB2::correlationTypes() values were inadvertently changed (in VisBufferImpl2.cc) when using smodel in solving tasks.
