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
29
30 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
31
32 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
33 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
34 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
35 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
36
37 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
38 for the collection area calculation
39
40 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
41 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
42
43 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
44 of one container
45
46 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
47 ascii file
48
49 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
50 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
51 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
52 hillas parameters)
53
54 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
55 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
56 see MHillas and MHillasExt
57
58 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
59 see MHillasSrc
60
61 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
62 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
63 all histograms)
64
65 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
66
67 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
68
69 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
70
71 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
72 an output stream instead of the whole container only
73
74 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
75 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
76
77 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
78 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
79
80 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
81 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
82
83 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
84
85 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
86 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
87 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
88
89 - Added:
90 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
91 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
92 they are needed in the flux calculation in
93 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
94 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
95 of Theta and the true energy
96
97 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
98 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
99 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
100 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
101 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
102 by unfolding
103
104 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
105
106
107
108 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
109
110 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
111 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
112 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
113
114 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
115
116 - Introduced verbosity levels
117
118 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
119
120 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
121 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
122
123 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
124 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
125
126 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
127
128 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
129
130 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
131 of a parameter container for each event
132
133 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
134
135 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
136
137 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
138 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
139 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
140
141 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
142 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
143 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
144
145
146
147 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
148
149 - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)
150
151 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
152 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
153
154 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
155 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
156 states
157
158 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
159 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
160
161 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
162
163 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
164 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
165
166 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
167 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
168
169 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
170 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
171 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
172
173 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
174 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
175
176 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
177 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
178
179 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
180 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
181
