AB  - This is a new release of VTS SimPipe - a simulation pipeline for VERITAS. It includes container build scripts for all simulation steps (air shower, atmospheric transfer, ray tracing, camera simulations) and scripts to efficiently start productions (including scripts using the HTCondor DAGMAN functionality). Simulation software versions (installed in containers): CORSIKA v7.7500 (optimised and non-optimised versions) ROOT 6.24.06 (base image centos7) corsikaIOreader v2.0.0 GrOptics v4.2.2 (GM fork) VBF v0.3.4 CARE v1.7.1 mergeVBF (as part of Eventdisplay v490.5) New Feature Ensure VBF file consistency by running vbfReindex over all generated files. Ensure also that no corrupt file end up in the generated dataset. (#52) Maintenance Introduction of towncrier-generated changelogs. Add CI running pre-commit.
