 2005/01/28 Abelardo Moralejo

   * mpointing/MSrcPosCalc.cc
     - updated. Make it work as desired: obtain for each event the x,y 
       position on the camera of a source whose celestial coordinates 
       (J2000) have been set by the user in the container "MSourcePos" 
       of type MPointingPos, added to the parameter list. If the 
       container MSourcePos is not found, the center of the camera (or 
       other fixed position x,y set in the parameter list by the user - 
       in MSrcPosCam) is used as source position for all the events in 
       the loop.



 2005/01/28 Thomas Bretz

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc:
     - fixed that extract1,2,3 haven't been deleted if loop failed.

   * mbase/MMath.[h,cc], manalysis/MCerPhotPix.[h,cc], 
     mpedestal/MPedPhotPix.h:
     - replaced TruncatePrecision by ReducePrecision (its simply a better
       name)

   * mbase/MParList.cc:
     - added a check to make 200%(!) sure that the container added
       to the list is a MParContainer (everything else could crash
       almost everything in Mars!)

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc, mjobs/MJCalibration.[h,cc],
     mjobs/MJPedestal.cc:
     - simplified the code in the WriteResult functions by using
       the new WriteContainer in MJob
     - removed the TObjArray from the MParList! It is NOT a MParContainer
       there are a lot of circumstance how this can crash Mars. I don't
       know why the compiler allowed for this.
     - unified WriteResult and WriteHists
     - split GetOutputFile into two functions for simplification

     - removed stopping of PostProcess in case that the evtloop is
       finished with interlaced cal. events

   * mcalib/MCalibrateData.[h,cc]
     - fill MCalibConstCam with update results (once per calib. consts
       update == every 10 sec.)
     - introduce check for size of calibration constant. In case, it is 
       completetly out of range, set the MBadPixelsPix::IsUnsuitableRun

     - as agreed in the current calibration meeting we truncate the
       precision of the stored floating point values to roughly 0.5%
       to gain storage space in the calibrated data (the gzip
       algorithm compresses this stuff nicely - we gain roughly 15%)

     - added a comment

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc:

       to gain I/O speed and storage space. We will soon have new
       containers for the calibrated data and image cleaning
       information.
     - changed version number to 6

   * mbase/MTask.cc:
     - changed to write out the descriptor istead of the task-name only
       in Pre/PostProcess

     mtrigger/MTriggerPatternDecode.cc:
     - added some comment about file version

   * mbase/MFilter.h:
     - implemented new virtual function GetDataMember like in MData

   * mbase/MTask.[h,cc]:
     - when filter is added ass GetDataMember to branch list (should be
       obsolete, because filter is in the tasklist, but it should not hurt)

   * mfbase/MF.[h,cc], mfbase/MFDataChain.[h,cc], mfbase/MFDataMember.[h,cc],
     mfbase/MFilterList.[h,cc]:
     - implemented new function GetDataMember

       from 0 instead of 1)

   * mjobs/MJPedestal.cc
   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc
     - fixed default extraction ranges.

   * callisto.rc

       Default is old version in photons
     - speed up Process by storing pre-calculated calibration constants
       in arrays (needed 40% of CPU time of the eventloop before, now: 23%) 
     - added new pointer to different MCalibrationChargeCam used for 
       updates
     - added possibility to update the conversion factors using the 
       MCalibrationChargeCam stored in fCalibUpdate.

       the whole camera including a fit to the values.

   * mpedestal/MPedCalcPedRun.[h,cc]
     - undo some changes introduced by TB on 2/12/04 which had made the 
       use of interlaced pedestal events impossible again. 
     - Use now the new class MTriggerPattern directly to recognize an 
       interlaced pedestal event.     



 2005/01/14 Thomas Bretz
 
   * callisto.cc:
     - fixed a typo in output

   * manalysis/MGeomApply.cc:
     - removed some old code already in comments
     - added possibility to switch off automatic processing (used
       if two different geometries around)

   * manalysis/MMultiDimDistCalc.cc, mhbase/MHMatrix.[h,cc],
     mranforest/MRanForestCalc.cc, mtools/MHSimulatedAnnealing.[h,cc],
     mtools/MSimulatedAnnealing.h:
     - added include of TVector because in newer root version it is 
       not included from TMatrix anymore

   * mbase/BaseLinkDef.h, mbase/MMath.[h,cc]:
     - to stick to the convention of TMath in newer root versions MMath
       changed from a class to a namespace

   * mbase/MEvtLoop.[h,cc]:
     - to support newer root version added a second Write-function
       with a const qualifier.

   * mdata/MDataChain.cc:
     - changed access to TMath for newer root versions

   * mfileio/MChain.[h,cc]:
     - implemented a workaround for teh changed LoadTree definition
       in newer root-versions

   * mfileio/MReadTree.cc:
     - fixed a bug in CheckBranchSize caused some warning to be
       displayed

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc:
     - fixed handling of extraction range for various cases
     - fixed handling in case no arrival times are calculated

   * mjobs/MJCalibration.cc:
     - write at least a default arrival time calibration container
       to make further processing easier

   * mjobs/MJPedestal.[h,cc]:
     - fixed handling of extraction range for various cases



 2005/01/14 Abelardo Moralejo

   * mtemp/mpadova/macros/trainsubsample.C, RanForestDISP.C
     - added. Two macros used in the analysis of real wobble mode data.



 2005/01/14 Daniela Dorner

       MExtractFixedWindowPeakSearch.



 2005/01/13 Raquel de los Reyes

   * callisto.rc
     - introduced several configuration lines 
       (format: "class".DataCheck: No) to allow callisto 
       to run with rawfiles. Necessary for the datacheck.



 2005/01/13 Markus Gaug

   * mcalib/MCalibColorSet.cc
     - fixed runs 45605-45609

   * msignal/MExtractor.h
     - take out the variable fHiLoLast from the streamer. Will be 
       initialized in the ReInit(), if needed

   * msignal/MExtractor.cc
     - Initialized fHiLoLast to 0. Otherwise, a second eventloop with 
       the same extractor may have that variable set to a certain 
       value, even if not desired. The ReInit() fixes fHiLoLast, if 
       different from 0.

   * mpedestal/MExtractPedestal.cc
   * mpedestal/MPedCalcPedRun.cc
   * mpedestal/MPedCalcFromLoGain.cc

   * mbase/MLog.cc:
     - unset DEBUG defined unintentionally

   * msignal/MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter.cc:
     - removed printing Weights in InitArrays, because otherwise
       the output of a full data calibration is totally crowded
       with numbers. Having the weights-file name on the display
       is perfectly enough.



 2005/01/12 Markus Gaug

   * mcalib/MCalibrationIntensityRelTimeCam.cc
     - added fit to improve averageing of the obtained results



 2005/01/12 Thomas Bretz

   * manalysis/MMatrixLoop.cc:
     - changed name to MRead because it now derives from MRead

   * mbase/MEvtLoop.[h,cc]:
     - implemented an option not to cascade the status display to the
       parameter list in PreProcess

       a correct camera display

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc:
     - fixed display of calibrated pedestal and pedestal rms
     - changed order of plots. Now all interpolated values 
       (means all calibrated values which are bad-pixel treated)
       are displayed behind the unsuitable pixels.

   * mjobs/MJ*.cc:
     - corrected all wrong %06d to %08d to fit the number of
       digits in run-numbers

     - derived from MRead
     - implemented some basic functions from MRead

   * mtrigger/MTriggerPatternDecode.[h,cc]:
     - added using file format version number



 2005/01/11 Markus Gaug

   * mbadpixels/MBadPixelsPix.cc
     - updated documentation

   * mcalib/MCalibrationChargeCalc.cc
     - make pixels with deviating number of phes unreliable instead of 
       unsuitable (this was already thought so, but missed to modify
       at one place).

   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationCam.[h,cc]
     - add possible flag 'kInterlaced': default: kFALSE (like before)
     - added pointer to MRawEvtHeader to deny cosmics events in case
       of 'interlaced' flag is set. No changes for 'normal' calibration



 2005/01/10 Benjamin Riegel
 
   * mreport/MReportStarguider.cc, mreport/MReportStarguider.h
     - added two classes for implementing starguider-data 
 
   * mreport/ReportLinkDef.h
     - added class MReportStarguider to be linked:
       #pragma link C++ class MReportStarguider+;
     
   * mreport/Makefile
     - added file MReportStarguider.cc
   
   * merpp.cc
     - added two containers ( MReportStarguider, MTimeStarguider ) and
       added MReportStarguider to the list:
       w->AddContainer("MReportStarguider",  "Starguider");
       w->AddContainer("MTimeStarguider",    "Starguider");
       r->AddToList("MReportStarguider");
       
       
       
 2005/01/10 Markus Gaug

   * mcalib/MCalibColorSet.cc
     - return kFALSE for CL-run instead of kTRUE

     - stop program in case that multiple colours are found in same file
       without intensity calibration

          MParContainer::Class()->IgnoreTObjectStreamer();
       in main.

   * msignal/MExtractor.h
     - added Getter for fOffsetLoGain (was still missing)

   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationChargeCam.[h,cc]
     - remove pixels with histogram overflow only if their percentage 
       passes a certain limit (default: 0.5%). Before, every overflow 
       lead to an unsuitable pixel.

   * msignal/MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter.[h,cc]
     - implemented changes suggested by T.B. to speed up calculations
     - take fNameWeightsFile into the streamer, otherwise the Clone() 
       will always create an extractor with cosmic's weights. 
     - set fOffsetLoGain to a slighly higher value. The DF seems to 
       have a different offset since it uses different pulse shapes 
       and thus sightly different time definitions.

     - changed such, that the calculated pedestal is not random
       anymore

       but this code is for the moment commented out.

   * callisto.rc:
     - fixed naming of pedestal calculation

   * mbadpixels/MBadPixelsCalc.cc:
     - added a second check which compares the pedestal rms with

     - changed to calculate the pedestal from extractor without 
       randomization

     - made sure that pedcam always has the correct name
       (FIXME? Print a warning if it has the wrong name)

   * mjobs/MJPedestal.[h,cc]:
     - changed such, that it allows the calculation of pedestals
       in three different ways (fundamental, fromextractor, 
       fromextractorrndm)
     - therefor removed SetExtractorResolution and added
       + void SetExtractionFundamental()

     - updated fit accordingly
     - removed catalog temporarily from plots until I found the
       reason for the strange crashes

   * mbadpixels/MBadPixelCalc.[h,cc]:
     - implemented the possibility to check the pedestal rms against the
       variance of the pedstal rms, too. The option is curretly switched
       off.
     - enahanced informal output in PreProcess

   * mbase/MTaskList.cc:
     - a little change to some output



 2005/01/10 Wolfgang Wittek

   * mfbase/MFEventSelector2.cc

     - fixed a bug in GetMaxIdxHiLoGain which caused the loop to
       read one byte behind the end of the array
     - fixed HasLoGain() which really did weired things, means accessing
       sometimes memory somewhere. This could theoretically result
       in assigning the wrong lo-gains to the wrong pixels.

       from the list

   * mbase/MParContainer.[h,cc]:

     - replaced return type of GetDescriptor by TString. The old version
       was terribly wrong! The returned memory wasn't removed as soon
       as the function returned. 
     - Made GetDescriptor thread safe using MString::Form

   * mfileio/MWriteRootFile.cc:
     - Use GetDescriptor().Data() when using any kind of printf function

   * mhbase/MFillH.cc:
     - replaced string concatenation in all constructors by a Form 
       (also suggested by valgrind)

   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationRelTimeCam.cc:

     - added: tutorial for MHexgonalFTCalc

   * macros/dohtml.C: 
     - updated

   * macros/rootlogon.C: 
     - updated

   * Makefile:
     - mhft added

   * mfileio/MReadTree.[h,cc]:
     - enhanced functionality to be able to read a TTree stored in memory
       instead of a file. Therefor introduced fTree which is now the pointer
       used and replaced fChain where TTree and TChain have common behaviour.
       Where they behave uncommon new code for the new case has been added.

   * mfileio/MWriteRootFile.[h,cc]:
     - enhanced functionality to be able to write a TTree into memory
       instead of a file. This were maily bugfixes for the case fOut==0, which
       must be handled correctly. Becarefull a tree filles without a file
       is not deleted automatically!
    
   * mhbase/MBinning.h:
