2
3 *** Version 0.9
4
5 - added pedstal calculation
6
7 - implemented "democratic cleaning" (cut value proportional to square
8 root of pixel area) according to Wolfgang's suggestion.
9
10 - added Sigmabar treatment (calculation and basic histogramming)
11
12 - added basic routines to apply padding
13
14 - added first implementation of MARS-based source visibility plotter
15 (needs to be linked against slalib, preliminary version)
16
17 *** Version 0.8 (2002/11/18)
18
19 - added all subdirectories as Include-Paths for ACLIC (s. rootlogon.C)
20
21 - corrected 48(!) wrong entries in the Next Neighbor table of the
22 Magic Camera (all in the inner part of the outer ring, mostly
23 missing a single NN)
24
25 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
26 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
27 have any neighbour)
28
29 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
30 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
31 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
32 please ask Abelardo)
33
34 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
35 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
36
37 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
38
39 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
40 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
41 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
42 changed.
43
44 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
45 (MHMatrix)
46
47 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
48 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
49
50 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours, Kernel)
51 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, multidimdist2.C, MHMatrix)
52
53 - Added a camera display displaying the pixel numbers to the
54 event display gui.
55
56 - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui
57
58 - Changed the camera display to display the pixel numbering

66
67 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
68
69 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
70
71 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
72
73 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
74 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
75 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
76
77 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
78
79 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
80 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
81
82 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
83 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
84 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
85 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
86 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
87
88 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
89 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
90
91 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
92 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
93
94 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
95 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
96
97 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
98
99 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
100
101 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
102 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
103
104 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
105 (thanks to Raquel)
106
107 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
108 estfit.C) using a parametrization
109
110 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
111 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
112 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
113
114
115
116 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
117
118 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
119 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
120 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
121 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
122
123 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
124 for the collection area calculation
125
126 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
127 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
128
129 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
130 of one container
131
132 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
133 ascii file
134
135 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
136 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
137 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
138 hillas parameters)
139
140 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
141 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
142 see MHillas and MHillasExt
143
144 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
145 see MHillasSrc
146
147 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
148 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
149 all histograms)
150
151 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
152
153 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
154
155 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
156
157 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
158 an output stream instead of the whole container only
159
160 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
161 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
162
163 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
164 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
165
166 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
167 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
168
169 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
170
171 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
172 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
173 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
174
175 - Added:
176 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
177 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
178 they are needed in the flux calculation in
179 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
180 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
181 of Theta and the true energy
182
183 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
184 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
185 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
186 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
187 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
188 by unfolding
189
190 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
191
192

197 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
198 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
199

210 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
211
212 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
213

215
216 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
217 of a parameter container for each event
218
219 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
220
221 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
222
223 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
224 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
225 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
226
227 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
228 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
229 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
230

242 states
243
244 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
245 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)

251
252 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
253 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
254
255 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
256 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
257 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
258
259 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
260 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
261
262 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
263 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
