   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationHiLoCam.[h,cc]
     - fixed bug in inter-calibration hi-logain for arrival times.

   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationPulseTimeCam.[h,cc]
     - fixed the situation where the maximum bin is already found in the
       low-gain samples.

     - write the MPedestalCams also to disk (needed for data-check).


 2005/02/25 Abelardo Moralejo
   * msignal/MC_calibration_weights_UV.dat
     - Added. Weights file for using the digital filter on MC 
       calibration files. For the moment the weights are the same as in
       the file calibration_weights_UV.dat, only that high and low gain
       have both the same weights because for the moment the MC pulse
       shape is the same in both gain branches.

 2005/02/24 Markus Gaug

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc
     - include display of pulse times (calculated in the post-process)
     - include the possibility for the pixel check (like in MJCalibration)

       estimated energy and theta.

   * mflux/MFHadAlpha.{h,cc}
     - filter to apply the hadronness and alpha cuts stored in
       MHadAlphaCut. It can be selected to apply only alpha, only hadronness 
       cut or both.  



 2005/02/18 Markus Gaug

     - don't print statistics if nothing was executed
     - fixed display. The displayed pedestal RMS was the one
       caluclated with a extractor but not at random position

       from a MC input file (with OriginalMC tree and MEnergyEst
       branch containing the energy estimator). This may be used 
       as layout for spectrum computation program.



 2005/02/16 Markus Gaug

     - fixed small bug

   * mmontecarlo/MMcCollectionAreaCalc.[h,cc] 
   * mhistmc/MHMcCollectionArea.[h,cc]
     - Changed the way of calculating final effective area for data 
       analysis. The new approach requires the use of MC files produced
       with the current CVS version of camera. We now make use of the
       true total number of produced MC events, and allow for the 
       setting of a "tentative" differential gamma spectrum to be used 
       in the calculation of effective areas.

       (in principal you can also do this for some of its branches only)
       This is done by AddCopySource

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc:
     - in case of MonteCarlo files write an independant tree
       'MonteCarlo' for 'MMcEvtBasic'

       to get rid of scaling effects which makes it difficult to see 
       details of the structure of the inner pixels in the histogram.
       With this you can immediatly see whether the relative number
       of phe in the outer pixels is equiv. to the inner pixels.

     - adapted to change in MWriteRootFile
     - use MReadMarsFile for Monte Carlo flag set

       Included in output new container MMcEvtBasic (if found in input 
       files) for later use in effective areas calculations.

   * macros/starmc2.C
     - Added writing out of new container MMcEvtBasic. Removed 
       possibility of splitting output in train and test samples, since
       this has now to be done in mccalibrate.C to make possible that 
       the tree OriginalMC containing MMcEvtBasic has all the original
       MC events (and only those) from which the events present in the
       Events tree derive.

   * macros/starmc.C

     - Added getter GetNumFirstLevel. This is necessary if that data
       member is to be used for instance in MF filters. There was 
       already a getter, but it is called GetFirstLevel and hence not
       recognized.



 2005/02/11 Abelardo Moralejo

   * mmc/MMcEvtBasic.[h,cc]:
     - New class. Contains 5 very basic MC parameters which we intend

     - Added new class above.



 2005/02/11 Thomas Bretz

   * mfileio/MWriteRootFile.[h,cc]:

   * mimage/MHillas.h:
     - added new Getter GetDist0 returning the distance to the 
       camera center

   * mhflux/MHFalseSource.cc:
     - the scaling in Paint() was nonsense in case we are looking
       at on/off-data. Fixed.



 2005/02/10 Abelardo Moralejo 

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.h
     - Added comment on new member fSignalType. Sorry for compilation
       problems... I forgot to commit the header yesterday, but M. Gaug 
       did it.

   * macros/starmc.C
     - Cleaned up a little bit, made the option to choose between 
       calibration in photons or phe- easier to set.

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.[h,cc]
     - Added getter and setter for fSignalType. Set fSignalType=kPhot as

       Pixel 0 and 559).
     - removed some obsolete includes
     - took out data member fPedestalHist from MJPedestal.h which removes 
       the crash, however I don't understand why it caused the crash!!! 
       There seem to be problems with memory usage either in callisto.cc 
       or in this class!!
       (valgrind shows several memory leaks in the TG... classes).
  
   * mjobs/MJCalibration.cc
     - write display and containers also in case of failure of eventloop

   * mhcalib/MHGausEvents.cc
     - make default display window 600x600

     - removed



 2005/02/08 Markus Gaug 
 
   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationCam.cc
   * mcalib/MCalibrationChargeCalc.cc
     - replaced GetNumExecutions()==0 condition by GetNumExecution() < 1 



 2005/02/08 Thomas Bretz

   * mpointing/MPointingPosInterpolate.cc:
     - use debug option in addition to switch off output from internal
       eventloop. It is confusing having this output inside another
       eventloop.
     - updated missing connections in class description

   * msignal/MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilterPeakSearch.cc:
     - made sure that output of PostProcess fits into 80col boundary

   * mimage/MHillas.cc:
     - removed an obsolete call to TLine::Paint() in Paint.



 2005/02/07 Thomas Bretz

   * mbase/MFilter.cc:
     - use paranthesis around ClassName in GetRule

   * mdata/MDataFormula.h:
     - fixed a wrong comment in variable description

   * mhist/MHCamEvent.[h,cc], mhist/MHCamera.[h,cc],
     mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc, 
     mjobs/MJCalibrateSignalFromOutside.cc:
     - to make sure there are no missunderstandings we have to
       replace all occurances of 'Variance' by 'SqrtVariance'
       (it was not my decision)

   * mastro/MAstro.[h,cc]:
     - added new function Angle2Coordinate

   * mbase/MTaskEnv.[h,cc]:
     - fixed a bug which caused the resource task to be ignored
       if the default task was '<dummy>'

   * mhbase/MH3.cc:
     - fixed a bug in Paint (use GetListOfPrimitives->FindObject
       instead of FindObject) which caused the histogram to
       be put a lot of times into the pad.

   * mjobs/MJCalib.[h,cc]:
     - derived MJCalib from MJob in order to be able to move
       common code from derived classes into the base-class
     - implemented CheckEnvLocal to handle the resource 'DataType'
     - changed publicity of some variables and functions
       to allow setting file type from outside
     - added new function to set data-type for use in callisto.cc

   * mjobs/MJCalibTest.[h,cc], mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.[h,cc],
     mjobs/MJCalibration.[h,cc], mjobs/MJPedestal.[h,cc]:
     - removed double inheritance, replaced by single inheritance
       from MJCalib
     - replaced code to handle the resource 'DataType' by the 
       common code in the base class
     - put reading of reference file into a new member function
       to make source code reading resource file simpler and to
       be able to write a function description about it (simple
       copy&past)

   * callisto.cc:
     - added option for file-type

   * mjobs/MJOptimize.[h,cc], mjobs/MSequences.[h,cc],
     mjobs/MJCut.[h,cc], ganymed.[cc,rc], mhflux/MHEnergyEst.[h,cc]:
     - added to repository, but not yet to Makefile because
       there is still some work to be done. But whoever is
       interested in the new classes/program may already use it.

   * mhflux/MAlphaFitter.[h,cc]:
     - added option to choose the minimization value

   * mhflux/MHAlpha.cc:
     - replaced significance by minimization value

   * mhflux/MHEffectiveOnTime.cc:
     - use E-Option when fitting to improve error calculation
       by using Minos technique



 2005/02/04 Markus Gaug

   * mjobs/MJCalibration.cc
     - found a "the `impossible' happened" when running callisto with 
       a pure signal extractor --> MExtractTimeFastSpline has some 
       problems with the management of the internal arrays. Replaced it 
       by MExtractTimeHighestIntegral as default which is as good. 

   * callisto.rc
     - use MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilterPeakSearch as default 
       instead of MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter. This extractor is 
       now tested and checks for the positions of the pulse within the
       DAQ-window.



 2005/02/04 Thomas Bretz

   * Makefile.rules:
     - fixed creation of main MDep.d

   * callisto.cc, merpp.cc, showlog.cc, showplot.cc, star.cc:

   * mbase/MFilter.cc:
     - changed default for 'GetRule'

   * mbase/MParContainer.cc:
     - simplified GetNewObject

   * mfbase/MF.cc:
     - if no conditional sign is found try to create
       MFilter-object

   * mraw/MRawEvtData.cc:
     - fixed the initialization of fABFlags in case maxid==0 which
       is the default. This caused MRawEvtPixelIter::HasABFlag
       to do unallowed access to memory for old root-files without
       the AB flag, because it assumed (due to size==1) that the
       data contains the ab flag

   * mraw/MRawEvtPixelIter.[h,cc]:
     - removed some obsolete debug comments
     - simplified HasABFlag

   * manalysis/MCerPhotPix.h:
     - removed the `!` again. It gave problems with the Mars
       display. We agreed that this is a minor problem because
       the structure of MCerPhot* will chnage soon in any case.



 2005/02/04 Abelardo Moralejo

   * macros/starmc2.C
     - added to output missing container MConcentration.



 2005/02/03 Thomas Bretz

   * mfbase/MFilterList.[h,cc]:
     - added new function AddToList(TCollection&)

   * mhbase/MFillH.cc:

       a corresponding existing tab

   * mhflux/MHAlpha.[h,cc]:
     - made time bins settable by user

   * mfileio/MWriteRootFile.cc:
     - fixed ReInit and a warning output when writing to memory



 2005/02/03 Markus Gaug

   * mcalib/MCalibColorSet.[h,cc]
     - implement possibility to set colour explicitely (e.g. for MC).

   * msignal/MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter.cc
     - intialize fTimeShiftHiGain and fTimeShiftLoGain by default.
 
   * mjobs/MJPedestal.cc
     - in case, extractor is used, put the extractor into the tasklist, 
       otherwise ranges do not get initialized correctly (wrong memory 
       usage!). Use an event selector, however to not skip the Process.
       This is as fast as before and now safe for any kind of extractor
  
   * mcalib/MCalibrationCam.h
   * mcalib/MCalibrationTestCam.h
   * mcalib/MCalibrationTestCam.cc
     - initialize a missing array in InitAverageAreas
 
   * mraw/MRawEvtHeader.h
     - introduced Setter() of cal. pattern for Abelardo



 2005/02/02 Markus Gaug

   * mcalib/MCalibrationChargeCam.cc
     - fixed small bug in the display of mean charges when low-gain was
       used.

   * msignal/MExtractor.cc
     - print the missing overlap between high-gain and low-gain
       in the Print() function
     - remove setting of fHiLoLast in PreProcess, otherwise cloned 
       extractors do not work any more with windows exceeding the 
       high-gain range.

   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationTestCam.[h,cc]
   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationTestTimeCam.[h,cc]
     - set proper probability limits for the fits

   * mcalib/MCalibrateData.cc
     - catch the case in which no interlaced cal. events are being sent
       by the pulser box.

   * mjobs/MJCalib.[h,cc]
     - put the data type enum in a new base class

   * mjobs/MJCalibTest.[h,cc]
     - re-name old class MJExtractCalibTest to MJCalibTest and make it 
       compatible with the sequence-files.
   
   * mjobs/MJExtractCalibTest.[h,cc]
     - removed

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc
     - put a compiler warning about the default cal. to photo-electrons

   * callisto.cc
     - add new flag "--use-test" to enable the MJCalibTest facility
       (default: not used)



 2005/02/01 Raquel de los Reyes

   * mjobs/MSequence.h
     - Added "Get" functions for the TArrays variables.



 2005/02/01 Markus Gaug

   * mjobs/MJCalibration.[h,cc]
   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.[h,cc]
   * callisto.rc
     - put enum for data type. Can now set the data type (mc, raw, root)
       without running the data check.

   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationCam.cc
     - return kTRUE in PostProcess if GetNumExecutions is 0
   
   * mcalib/MCalibrationChargeCalc.cc
     - return kTRUE in PostProcess if GetNumExecutions is 0



 2005/02/01 Daniel Mazin

   * MPointingPosInterpolate.cc:
     - fixed bug to match the units of Ra and Decl in MPointingPos
     - fixed bug in handling of events with times outside of times from 
       MDrive tree



 2005/02/01 Thomas Bretz

   * showplot.cc:
     - another fix to make the batch mode working (you can use the batch
       mode to convert a root-file into another format)



 2005/01/31 Thomas Bretz

   * mbase/MStatusDisplay.cc:
     - fixed handling of batch mode in GetCanvas(const TString &name)
     - don't skip already existing tabs in Display()

   * mjobs/MSequence.h
     - Added "Get" functions for some of the sequence.txt file 
       parameters.

   * mjobs/MJCalibration.[h,cc]
     - move file type enum to base class

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.[h,cc]
     - allow also for direct setting of an MRunIter (not used in
       callisto).

   * mcalib/MCalibrationChargeCalc.[h,cc]
     - test also for pulser strength changes additionally to changes in 
       colour.



 2005/01/31 Abelardo Moralejo

   * mpointing/MSrcPosCalc.cc
     - Create only one instance of MAstroSky2Local for the 
       transformations, instead of two identical ones, as it was before.



 2005/01/30 Markus Gaug 
 
   * mjobs/MJCalibration.cc
   * mjobs/MJPedestal.cc
   * mjobs/calibrationref_Nov04.rc
   * mhcalib/MHCalibrationRelTimeCam.[h,cc]
     - updated correct display of reference lines



 2005/01/29 Markus Gaug 
    
   * msignal/MExtractFixedWindowSpline.[h,cc]
     - fixed a bug occurring with overlapping windows between high-gain
       and low-gain

   * msignal/MExtractFixedWindowPeakSearch.cc
     - take out call to fSignals->Clear() which is already done in 
       MTaskList.

   * msignal/MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilterPeakSearch.[h,cc]
     - new extractor reducing the bias and solving the problem with the 
       jumping pulse readout.



 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.
     - print tasklist also if loop failed.
     - added a undefined task (MTaskEnv "FinalFantasy") as last task to
       the event processing tasklist

   * callisto.rc:
     - added comments about "FinalFantasy" into call
     - added comment for obsolete resources as discussed yesterday
       evening: TimeUpperLimit

   * 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

   * mjobs/MJCalibration.h:
     - copy the extractorcam name when copying the contents

     - added the initialization of the pointers to the constructor



 2005/01/28 Markus Gaug

   * msignal/MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter.cc
     - introduce a security check for the time fine adjustment in case, 
       it is too large.

   * mcalib/MCalibConstCam.[h,cc]
   * mcalib/MCalibConstPix.h
     - new classes to allow display of changing cal. constants with the
       interlaced cal. events

   * mcalib/MCalibrationChargeCalc.cc
     - 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

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc:
     - display one MHCamera more with changing conv. factors (only for
       interlaced cal. events)

   * mpedestal/MPedCalcFromLoGain.cc

       late cosmics signals in December


 2005/01/28 Abelardo Moralejo

   * mtemp/mpadova/macros/trainsubsample.C
     - added # of events to be written in the output (instead of 
       fraction of total). Moved MSrcPosCam in output from RunHeaders
       to Events tree.



 2005/01/27 Daniel Mazin and Markus Gaug

   * mcalib/MCalibrateData.[h,cc]
     - derive this class from MCamEvent in order to be able to display
       evolution of conversion factors in case of interlaced cal. 
       events

   * mpointing/MInterpolatePointingPos.[h,cc]
     - new class to interpolate pointing positions, adapted from a class 
       by Marcos Lopez

       cleaning level to adapt it roughly to the new pedestal

   * manalysis/MCerPhotPix.[h,cc], mpedestal/MPedPhotPix.h:
     - 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%)

   * mhflux/MHFalseSource.cc, mjobs/MJCalibration.cc, mjobs/MJStar.cc:
     - added a comment

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc:
     - changed title of unsuitable plot

       other tab-name
     - changed the options for the display

     - trying to get rid of the Err_%p workaround.

   * manalysis/MCerPhotEvt.[h,cc]:
     - added some '!' signs in the comment line. This is quick hack
       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

   * mhist/MHCamera.cc:
     - added member function SetAllUsed



 2005/01/26 Abelardo Moralejo

   * macros/mccalibrate.C
     - removed creation and writing out of MSrcPosCam. It is more 
       flexible to add it in starmc2.C if needed (for wobble mode for
       instance).

   * mtemp/mpadova/macros/RanForestDISP.C
     - added possibility to set the number of hadrons read in for the 
       training. Added some missing containers to output.
     - Fixed rule concerning the DISP, by adding parentheses. Remember
       that MHMatrix::AddColumn  does not respect the usual precedence
       of operations!

     - remove MCalibrationIntensityHiLoCam

   * mbadpixels/MBadPixelsPix.h
   * mbadpixels/MBadPixelsCam.cc
     - changed one function name to GetUnsuitableCalLevel()

   * mjobs/MJCalibration.cc
     - replace all Y-titles with units "FADC counts" by "FADC cnts" and 
       "FADC slices" by "FADC sl.", otherwise they range out of the 
       canvas.

   * mcalib/MCalibrationChargeCalc.cc
     - ensure to set the color correctly in MCalibrationBlindCam

   * callisto.rc
     - put space for

       MJCalibrateSignal.ExtractSignal.HiGainLast:     16


 2005/01/24 Abelardo Moralejo

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.cc
     - Adapted to changes in MCalibrateData from 2005/01/16: moved 
       qepix.SetAvNormFFactor(1.)  from Process() to ReInit(). Due to 
       this, for the last week you may have found trouble running

       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

     - 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

   * 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

     - implemented an option not to cascade the status display to the
       parameter list in PreProcess

 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");

     - 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 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

       the header-file.
      



 2005/01/07 Abelardo Moralejo

   * mbase/MLog.h
     - Added #include "TSystem.h", otherwise gSystem is not recognized
       in Mac OSX.

   * manalysis/MMakePadHistograms.cc
     - Changed badcalc.SetNamePedPhotContainer to 
       badcalc.SetNamePedPhotCam



 2005/01/07 Thomas Bretz

   * mbadpixels/MBadPixelsCalc.[h,cc], macros/ONOFFAnalaysis.C:
     - replaced PedPhotContainer by PedPhotCam for consistency
   
   * mbase/MLog.[h,cc]:
     - return *this in Seperator()

   * mbase/MPrint.[h,cc]:
     - use new separator manipulator in PreProcess
     - fixed a type: separator instead of seperator

   * mfileio/MReadTree.[h,cc]:
     - added a check for branch->IsAutoDelete() in Notify()

   * mpedestal/MExtractPedestal.[h,cc]:
     - added new option 'fRandomCalculation' be used to switch on-/off-
       randomization in extractors, the default should be like before
     - added Process() calling Calc()

   * mpedestal/MPedCalcFromLoGain.[h,cc], mpedestal/MPedCalcPedRun.[h,cc]:
     - renamed Process() to Calc()

   * Makefile:
     - removed macros/calibration.C, which seems to have been
       unintantionally introduced.

   * manalysis/Makefile:
     - removed unintantionally introduced wrong include

   * msignal/MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter.cc:
     - a small acceleration discussed with Hendrik by replacing a
       counter in a loop by pointer arithmetics

   * mraw/MRawEvtPixelIter.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.

   * mtrigger/MTriggerPattern.[h,cc], mtrigger/MTriggerPatternDecode.[h,cc],
     mtrigger/MFTriggerPattern.[h,cc]:
     - added

   * mtrigger/Makefile, mtrigger/TriggerLinkDef.h:
     - added MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern

   * manalysis/MEnergyEstParam.h:
     - added a new function SetVariables calling SetCoeff

   * mcalib/MCalibrateData.[h,cc]:
     - removed data members for container names
     - added new lists for container names
     - allow to calibrate more than one pedestal container at the same
       time

   * mjobs/MJCalibrateSignal.cc:
     - changed accordingly



 2005/01/05 Thomas Bretz

   * mcalib/MCalibrationBlindPix.cc, mcalib/MCalibrationChargeCalc.cc,
     mhcalib/MHCalibrationRelTimeCam.cc:
     - made some output lines fit into convinience window of 80 col

   * mhist/MHCamEvent.cc:
     - make sure that x-axis has correct title

   * msignal/MArrivalTimePix.cc:
     - init error to -1 which is a obviously non valid value
     - fixed IsValid() which gave wrong results

   * msignal/MExtractTimeAndCharge.cc, msignal/MExtractedSignalPix.cc:
     - made sure that LoGain is flagged non-valid if no lo-gain exists
     - push time back at the edge of the allowed limits if outside

   * mbase/MGList.[h,cc]:
     - introduced new functions Delete and DeletePictures
     - SetBit(kMustCleanup) in constructor. Otherwise it is not
       correctly removed from ListOfCleanups

   * mbase/MLog.cc:
     - SetBit(kMustCleanup) if adding a plugin to make sure it is cleaned
       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.

   * mbase/MStatusDisplay.[h,cc]:
     - for security (thread safty) replaced all Form() by MString::Form()
     - implemented a more secure scheme of Closing (Clone()) this was
       a hint given by valgrind
     - set kMustCleanup for all new object in ClonePad not only kCanDelete
     - fixed some lines in pulldown-menus
     - add TPads to ListOfCleanups in ClonePad (workaround!)

   * mbase/MString.[h,cc]:
     - implemented a new static Form() function returning a copy of
       the result

   * mbase/MTask.[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:
     - made some output fit into 80col boundary




 2005/01/03 Thomas Bretz (HAPPY NEW YEAR)

     mhft/MHexagonalFreqSpace.[h,cc], mhft/MHexagonalFTCalc.[h,cc],
     mhft/Makefile:
     - added

   * macros/extendcam.C: 
     - added: tutorial for MGeomCamExtend

   * macros/hft.C: 
     - added: tutorial for MHexgonalFTCalc

   * macros/dohtml.C: 
     - updated

   * macros/rootlogon.C: 
     - updated

   * Makefile:
     - mhft added

   * mbase/MParContainer.cc, mbase/MLog.cc:
     - added a pre-compiler option for destructor debugging

   * mbase/MTaskList.[h,cc]:
     - added new function Replace

   * mdata/MDataChain.cc, mfbase/MF.cc:
     - shortened some output

   * mdata/MDataArray.[h,cc]:
     - added new function FindRule

   * 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:
     - added copy constructor
     - fixed buggy SetEdges(MBinning&) which didn't work

     - fixed a stupid bug introduced last year, which caused MCalibColorSet
       in some circumstances to stop the eventloop when it shouldn't

   * mjobs/MSequence.cc:
     - expand path names
