3 *** Version 0.7
4
5 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
6 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
7 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
8 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
9
10 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
11 for the collection area calculation
12
13 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
14 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
15
16 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
17 of one container
18
19 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
20 ascii file
21
22 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
23 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
24 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
25 hillas parameters)
26
27 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
28 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
29 see MHillas and MHillasExt
30
31 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
32 see MHillasSrc
33
34 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
35 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
36 all histograms)
37
38 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
39
40 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
41
42 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
43
44 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
45 an output stream instead of the whole container only
46
47 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
48 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
49
50 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
51 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
52
53 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
54 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
55
56 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
57
58 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
59 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
60 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
61
62 - Added:
63 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
64 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
65 they are needed in the flux calculation in
66 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
67 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
68 of Theta and the true energy
69
70 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
71 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
72 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
73 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
74 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
75 by unfolding
76
77 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
78
79
80
81 *** Version 0.6 (2001/01/15)
82
83 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
84 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
85 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
86
87 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
88
89 - Introduced verbosity levels
90
91 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
92
93 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
94 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
95
96 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
97 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
98
99 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
100
101 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
102
103 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
104 of a parameter container for each event
105
106 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
107
108 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
109
110 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
111 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
112 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
113
114 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
115 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
116 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
117
118
119
120 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
121
122 - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)
123
124 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
125 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
126
127 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
128 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
129 states
130
131 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
132 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
133
134 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
135
136 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
137 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
138
139 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
140 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
141
142 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
143 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
144 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
145
146 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
147 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
148
149 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
150 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
151
152 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
153 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
154
155
156

158

162

164
165 - Added a task to write a container to an Ascii file (MWriteAsciiFile)
166

170
171 - Added calculation of the collection area (MMcCollectionAreaCalc)
172
173 - fixed some bugs in the Hillas calculation
174
175 - added filters to be able to control the task execution dependent on
176 a parameter (for example: the number of level 1 triggers in a MC-file)
177
