2
3 *** Version 0.8
4
5 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
6 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
7 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array.
8
9 - added MHHadroness (and MHadroness) as a general facility to evaluate
10 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
11
12 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
13
14 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
15 (MHMatrix)
16
17 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
18 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
19
20 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours)
21 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, MHMatrix)
22
23 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
24
25 - Added a camera display displaying the pixel numbers to the
26 event display gui.
27
28 - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui
29
30 - Changed the camera display to display the pixel numbering
31
32 - Added three buttons to the camera display to change the palette
33
34 - Added the number of used and core pixels after image cleaning
35 to MHillas
36
37
38
39 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
40
41 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
42 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
43 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
44 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
45
46 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
47 for the collection area calculation
48
49 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
50 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
51
52 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
53 of one container
54
55 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
56 ascii file
57
58 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
59 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
60 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
61 hillas parameters)
62
63 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
64 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
65 see MHillas and MHillasExt
66
67 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
68 see MHillasSrc
69
70 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
71 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
72 all histograms)
73
74 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
75
76 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
77
78 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
79
80 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
81 an output stream instead of the whole container only
82
83 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
84 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
85
86 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
87 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
88
89 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
90 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
91
92 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
93
94 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
95 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
96 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
97
98 - Added:
99 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
100 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
101 they are needed in the flux calculation in
102 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
103 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
104 of Theta and the true energy
105
106 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
107 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
108 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
109 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
110 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
111 by unfolding
112
113 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
114
115
116
117 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
118
119 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
120 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
121 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
122
123 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
124
125 - Introduced verbosity levels
126
127 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
128
129 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
130 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
131
132 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
133 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
134
135 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
136
137 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
138
139 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
140 of a parameter container for each event
141
142 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
143
144 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
145
146 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
147 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
148 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
149
150 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
151 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
152 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
153
154
155
156 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
157
158 - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)
159
160 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
161 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
162
163 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
164 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
165 states
166
167 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
168 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
169
170 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
171
172 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
173 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
174
175 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
176 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
177
178 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
179 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
180 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
181
182 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
183 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
184
185 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
186 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
187
188 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
189 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
190

212 a parameter (for example: the number of level 1 triggers in a MC-file)
213
