3 *** Version 0.8 (2002/11/18)
4
5 - added all subdirectories as Include-Paths for ACLIC (s. rootlogon.C)
6
7 - corrected 48(!) wrong entries in the Next Neighbor table of the
8 Magic Camera (all in the inner part of the outer ring, mostly
9 missing a single NN)
10
11 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
12 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
13 have any neighbour)
14
15 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
16 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
17 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
18 please ask Abelardo)
19
20 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
21 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
22
23 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
24
25 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
26 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
27 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
28 changed.
29
30 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
31 (MHMatrix)
32
33 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
34 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
35
36 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours, Kernel)
37 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, multidimdist2.C, MHMatrix)
38
39 - Added a camera display displaying the pixel numbers to the
40 event display gui.
41
42 - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui
43
44 - Changed the camera display to display the pixel numbering
45
46 - Added three buttons to the camera display to change the palette
47
48 - Added the number of used and core pixels after image cleaning
49 to MHillas
50
51 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillas according to TDAS 02-03
52
53 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
54
55 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
56
57 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
58
59 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
60 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
61 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
62
63 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
64
65 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
66 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
67
68 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
69 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
70 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
71 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
72 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
73
74 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
75 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
76
77 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
78 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
79
80 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
81 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
82
83 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
84
85 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
86
87 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
88 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
89
90 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
91 (thanks to Raquel)
92
93 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
94 estfit.C) using a parametrization
95
96 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
97 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
98 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
99
100
101
102 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
103
104 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
105 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
106 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
107 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
108
109 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
110 for the collection area calculation
111
112 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
113 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
114
115 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
116 of one container
117
118 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
119 ascii file
120
121 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
122 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
123 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
124 hillas parameters)
125
126 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
127 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
128 see MHillas and MHillasExt
129
130 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
131 see MHillasSrc
132
133 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
134 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
135 all histograms)
136
137 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
138
139 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
140
141 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
142
143 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
144 an output stream instead of the whole container only
145
146 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
147 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
148
149 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
150 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
151
152 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
153 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
154
155 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
156
157 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
158 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
159 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
160
161 - Added:
162 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
163 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
164 they are needed in the flux calculation in
165 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
166 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
167 of Theta and the true energy
168
169 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
170 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
171 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
172 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
173 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
174 by unfolding
175
176 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
177
178

196 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
197
198 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
199

201
202 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
203 of a parameter container for each event
204
205 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
206
207 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
208
209 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
210 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
211 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
212
213 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
214 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
215 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
216
217

237
238 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
239 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
240
241 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
242 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
243 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
244
245 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
246 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
247
248 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
249 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
250
