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
26
27 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
28
29 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
30 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
31 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
32 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
33
34 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
35 for the collection area calculation
36
37 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
38 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
39
40 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
41 of one container
42
43 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
44 ascii file
45
46 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
47 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
48 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
49 hillas parameters)
50
51 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
52 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
53 see MHillas and MHillasExt
54
55 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
56 see MHillasSrc
57
58 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
59 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
60 all histograms)
61
62 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
63
64 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
65
66 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
67
68 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
69 an output stream instead of the whole container only
70
71 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
72 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
73
74 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
75 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
76
77 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
78 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
79
80 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
81
82 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
83 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
84 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
85
86 - Added:
87 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
88 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
89 they are needed in the flux calculation in
90 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
91 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
92 of Theta and the true energy
93
94 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
95 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
96 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
97 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
98 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
99 by unfolding
100
101 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
102
103
104
105 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
106
107 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
108 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
109 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
110
111 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
112
113 - Introduced verbosity levels
114
115 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
116
117 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
118 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
119
120 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
121 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
122
123 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
124
125 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
126
127 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
128 of a parameter container for each event
129
130 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
131
132 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
133
134 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
135 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
136 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
137
138 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
139 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
140 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
141
142
143
144 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
145
146 - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)
147
148 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
149 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
150
151 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
152 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
153 states
154
155 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
156 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
157
158 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
159
160 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
161 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
162
163 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
164 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
165
166 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
167 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
168 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
169
170 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
171 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
172
173 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
174 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
175
176 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
177 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
178
179

198
199 - added filters to be able to control the task execution dependent on
200 a parameter (for example: the number of level 1 triggers in a MC-file)
201
