TreeStatusEvent also runs and produces message. Here also the remaining work is in the test setup.

TreeService still needs some cleaning up since it also contains some test. These tests need to be move to a seperate test program.

Task #8531: Modified Service to allow code-insertion at 4 new places. Currently tested with 'pass' in those function to assure backward compatiblity.

Task #8651: install lofarlogger.sh script as non-executable into bin/, since it is to be sourced. Add license. Patch only changes comments and install logic.

Task #7641 Reintegrate task branch Pipeline-Task7641. Ability to run casapy as pipeline steps with a fix for possible pipeline stalls while the step runs.

Task #8571: Added comment for functions and fix corner case for messages being received from a previous timed-out rpc call. Also fixes a bug with using queues instead of a bus exchange.

Task #8651: ObservationStartListener: fix 'make install' error on systems with python 2.4. Ugly hack is deliberate: 1. I cannot afford to waste even more time on compat w/ ancient software installs and broken python version detection logic, and 2. as a protest against this terrible practice; let's fix the right problem.

Task #8651: revert accidental changes to MessageRouter.conf.ccu099 build_queues.sh in prev reint merge

Task #8571: Added option for receiving the full ServiceMessage by the service handler in Service.py and allow the service handler to return a ReplyMessage.

Task #8640 New control keyword for generic pipeline steps 'mapfiles_as_string'. This is a ListField and any mapfiles given in this list indicate that when this mapfile is used in other places in the step it represents the string of the mapfile filename and not the 'file' entry within the mapfile.
