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 - 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 - Added the number of used and core pixels after image cleaning
35 to MHillas
36
37 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
38 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
39 have any neighbour)
40
41
42
43 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
44
45 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
46 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
47 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
48 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
49
50 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
51 for the collection area calculation
52
53 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
54 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
55
56 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
57 of one container
58
59 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
60 ascii file
61
62 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
63 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
64 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
65 hillas parameters)
66
67 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
68 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
69 see MHillas and MHillasExt
70
71 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
72 see MHillasSrc
73
74 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
75 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
76 all histograms)
77
78 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
79
80 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
81
82 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
83
84 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
85 an output stream instead of the whole container only
86
87 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
88 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
89
90 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
91 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
92
93 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
94 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
95
96 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
97
98 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
99 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
100 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
101
102 - Added:
103 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
104 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
105 they are needed in the flux calculation in
106 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
107 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
108 of Theta and the true energy
109
110 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
111 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
112 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
113 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
114 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
115 by unfolding
116
117 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
118
119
120
121 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
122
123 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
124 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
125 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
126
127 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
128
129 - Introduced verbosity levels
130
131 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
132
133 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
134 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
135
136 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
137 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
138
139 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
140
141 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
142
143 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
144 of a parameter container for each event
145
146 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
147
148 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
149
150 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
151 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
152 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
153
154 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
155 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
156 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
157
158
159
160 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
161

163
164 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
165 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
166
167 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
168 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
169 states
170
171 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
172 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
173
174 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
175

177 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
178
179 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
180 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
181
182 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
183 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
184 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
185
186 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
187 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
188
189 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
190 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
191
192 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
193 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
