3 *** Version 0.8
4
5 - added MHHadroness (and MHadroness) as a general facility to evaluate
6 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
7
8 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
9
10 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
11 (MHMatrix)
12
13 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
14 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
15
16 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours)
17 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, MHMatrix)
18
19 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
20
21
22
23 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
24
25 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
26 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
27 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
28 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
29
30 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
31 for the collection area calculation
32
33 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
34 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
35
36 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
37 of one container
38
39 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
40 ascii file
41
42 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
43 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
44 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
45 hillas parameters)
46
47 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
48 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
49 see MHillas and MHillasExt
50
51 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
52 see MHillasSrc
53
54 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
55 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
56 all histograms)
57
58 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
59
60 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
61
62 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
63
64 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
65 an output stream instead of the whole container only
66
67 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
68 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
69
70 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
71 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
72
73 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
74 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
75
76 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
77
78 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
79 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
80 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
81
82 - Added:
83 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
84 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
85 they are needed in the flux calculation in
86 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
87 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
88 of Theta and the true energy
89
90 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
91 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
92 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
93 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
94 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
95 by unfolding
96
97 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
98
99
100
101 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
102
103 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
104 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
105 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
106
107 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
108
109 - Introduced verbosity levels
110
111 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
112
113 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
114 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
115
116 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
117 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
118
119 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
120
121 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
122
123 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
124 of a parameter container for each event
125
126 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
127
128 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
129
130 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
131 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
132 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
133
134 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
135 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
136 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
137
138
139
140 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
141
142 - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)
143
144 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
145 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
146
147 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
148 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
149 states
150
151 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
152 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
153
154 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
155
156 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
157 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
158
159 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
160 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
161
162 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
163 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
164 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
165
166 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
167 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
168
169 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
170 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
171
172 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
173 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
174
175

196 a parameter (for example: the number of level 1 triggers in a MC-file)
197
