Summary

Original Bonsai has been modified to adopt the Geant4 project needs:

Introduced tag based scheme with additional fields Used the system for testing (Status/Sentence with logic

behind) Ported scripts to new versions of browsers

Bonsai is a core tool for the Geant4 testing and release process and can be easily tested/deployed for other projects
