NEWS with version CORSIKA 7.74x are Update of bernlohr package to version 1.63 In Subr. BOX2 erroneously for EPOS and SIBYLL the decay length of strange baryons was not calculated, so these particles were transported according to their interaction length. This bug is now eliminated. Bugs in the binning of the longitudinal profile and in counting of neutral particles for upward going showers have been corrected. New monthly SouthPole atmosphere parameters for IceTop (de Ridder) are added. Corrections to optimize MPI usage with CoREAS. Add MWEIC keyword to select one of the weight in MULTITHIN with COASTUSERLIB and possibly keep a normal output. Improve compatibility between MPI and MULTITHIN. Update CONEX to version 7.5 with improved compatibility with CORSIKA (same lambda treatment in QGSJETII), same projectile selection as in CORSIKA for SIBYLL and bug correction for phi direction in preshower interface. Update SIBYLL to version 2.3d with corrections changing the pi0 production (and thus the number of muons (lower by few %)) and cross-section (change in Xmax smaller by few g/cm2). Change format for longitudinal energy deposit in vertical option to get correct depth values in the longitudinal profile. This may give problems in connection with some long-file reader. Make the extended mass range for CONEX+EPOS optional to save memory. Add FLUKAINFN and FLUKACERN options to link the FLUKA 2020 packages provided by INFN and by CERN. Bug Corrections in CERENKOV option and for UPWARD+CURVED combination for vertical showers. April 2021
