O2 Production Release 14

This is the fourteenth production release of PyCBC for use in LIGO's second observing run.

This release has been tested against LALSuite with the hash:

539c8700af92eb6dd00e0e91b9dbaf5bae51f004

This release fixes a bug in the pycbc.workflow.configuration.resolve_url() function that implements the ability to download files from ECP cookie-authenticated servers. The function had a failed when it tried to change the permissions of a file that the user does not own, even when the target permissions were already correct. This bug causes pycbc_make_coinc_search_workflow to fail when run with executables from CVMFS.

Details of the changes since the last release are at v1.7.4...v1.7.5

A Docker container for this release is available from the pycbc/pycbc-el7 repository on Docker Hub be downloaded using the command:
