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

This release has been tested against LALSuite with the hash:

539c8700af92eb6dd00e0e91b9dbaf5bae51f004

There are no substantive changes to the search pipeline code since the 1.7.0 release. This release fixes an issue that the 1.7.0 OSG bundled version of pycbc_inspiral was not built against a build of lalsuite linked against HDF5, so it could not read the SEOBNRv4 ROM data. This was not caught in testing as the tests used SEOBNRv2 which stores the ROM data as ASCII files, not HDF5. To fix this in future, the ROM data used in the test has been switched to lalsuite-extra r11, and both the v2 and v4 SEOBNR waveforms are tested. The build test has also been extended to use the new compressed waveform bank code, although this is not yet used in production.
