7 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
8
9 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
10 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
11 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
12 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
13
14 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
15 for the collection area calculation
16
17 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
18 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
19
20 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
21 of one container
22
23 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
24 ascii file
25
26 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
27 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
28 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
29 hillas parameters)
30
31 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
32 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
33 see MHillas and MHillasExt
34
35 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
36 see MHillasSrc
37
38 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
39 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
40 all histograms)
41
42 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
43
44 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
45
46 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
47
48 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
49 an output stream instead of the whole container only
50
51 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
52 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
53
54 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
55 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
56
57 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
58 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
59
60 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
61
62 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
63 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
64 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
65
66 - Added:
67 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
68 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
69 they are needed in the flux calculation in
70 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
71 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
72 of Theta and the true energy
73
74 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
75 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
76 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
77 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
78 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
79 by unfolding
80
81 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
82
83
84
85 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
86
87 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
88 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
89 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
90
91 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
92
93 - Introduced verbosity levels
94
95 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
96
97 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
98 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
99
100 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
101 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
102
103 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
104
105 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
106
107 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
108 of a parameter container for each event
109
110 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
111
112 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
113
114 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
115 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
116 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
117
118 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
119 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
120 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
121
122
123
124 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
125
126 - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)
127
128 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
129 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
130
131 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
132 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
133 states
134
135 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
136 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
137
138 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
139
140 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
141 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
142
143 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
144 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
145
146 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
147 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
148 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
149
150 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
151 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
152
153 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
154 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
155
156 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
157 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
158

168
169 - Added a task to write a container to an Ascii file (MWriteAsciiFile)
170

174
175 - Added calculation of the collection area (MMcCollectionAreaCalc)
176
177 - fixed some bugs in the Hillas calculation
178
179 - added filters to be able to control the task execution dependent on
180 a parameter (for example: the number of level 1 triggers in a MC-file)
181
182
183
