ShakeMap users,

We've added a few new fixes to the 3.5 release that will be of  
interest.  The changes are listed below.  To get the updated code, it  
should be simply a matter of going to your ShakeMap home directory and  
executing "svn update" followed by "make".

1. A fix to 'grind' to limit the use of ground motions derived from  
low intensity MMI (or, more generally, MI) data.  PGAs are only used  
if they derive from intensities >= 3.0, PGVs and PSAs are only used if  
they derive from intensities > 4.0 (note: there are no current GMICE  
modules that produce PSAs from intensity data).  Testing has shown  
that this change improves the quality of the maps.

2. Update to the TA09_mmi IPE based on a communication from Trevor  
Allen.

3. A fix to 'getdyfi' that will help when retrieving DYFI data for  
certain events.

4. A fix Pete Lombard supplied for Event.pm that will help if you are  
using eq2xml to get event data from a database.

5. Fixes to include "clean" targets to three Makefiles that lacked  
them.  (Also from Pete Lombard.)

As always, let us know if you run into any problems.

Bruce
