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 - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui
29
30 - Changed the camera display to display the pixel numbering
31
32 - Added three buttons to the camera display to change the palette
33
34
35
36 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
37
38 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
39 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
40 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
41 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
42
43 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
44 for the collection area calculation
45
46 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
47 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
48
49 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
50 of one container
51
52 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
53 ascii file
54
55 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
56 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
57 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
58 hillas parameters)
59
60 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
61 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
62 see MHillas and MHillasExt
63
64 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
65 see MHillasSrc
66
67 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
68 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
69 all histograms)
70
71 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
72
73 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
74
75 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
76
77 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
78 an output stream instead of the whole container only
79
80 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
81 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
82
83 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
84 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
85
86 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
87 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
88
89 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
90
91 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
92 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
93 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
94
95 - Added:
96 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
97 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
98 they are needed in the flux calculation in
99 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
100 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
101 of Theta and the true energy
102
103 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
104 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
105 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
106 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
107 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
108 by unfolding
109
110 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
111
112
113
114 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
115
116 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
117 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
118 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
119
120 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
121
122 - Introduced verbosity levels
123
124 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
125
126 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
127 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
128
129 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
130 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
131
132 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
133
134 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
135
136 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
137 of a parameter container for each event
138
139 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
140
141 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
142
143 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
144 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
145 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
146
147 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
148 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
149 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
150
151
152
153 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
154
155 - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)
156
157 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
158 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
159
160 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
161 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
162 states
163
164 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
165 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
166
167 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
168
169 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
170 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
171
172 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
173 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
174
175 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
176 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
177 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
178
179 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
180 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
181
182 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
183 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
184
185 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
186 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
187
188

209 a parameter (for example: the number of level 1 triggers in a MC-file)
210
