Changes

  * add a new script |manage_alerts.pl| that lets the user enable or
    disable alerts for an animal
    This is especially useful in the case of animals that have stopped
    running for some reason.
  * check if a branch is up to date before trying to run it
    This only applies if the |branches_to_build| setting is a keyword
    rather than a list of branches. It reduces the number of useless
    calls to |git pull| to almost zero.
  * require Perl version 5.14 or later
    This should not be a problem, as it's more than 10 years old.
  * add |--avoid-ts-collisions| command line parameter
    This is for specialized uses, and imposes a penalty of a few seconds
    per run. |run_branches.pl| already does this, so it's not required for
    normal operations.
  * run TAP tests for |src/interfaces| subdirectories
  * add amcheck and extension upgrade tests to cross version upgrade testing
  * adjust to changes in postgres code, file locations, etc.
  * assorted minor bug fixes and tweaks


The release can be downloaded from
