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 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
42 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
43 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
44 changed.
45
46
47
48 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
49
50 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
51 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
52 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
53 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
54
55 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
56 for the collection area calculation
57
58 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
59 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
60
61 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
62 of one container
63
64 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
65 ascii file
66
67 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
68 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
69 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
70 hillas parameters)
71
72 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
73 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
74 see MHillas and MHillasExt
75
76 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
77 see MHillasSrc
78
79 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
80 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
81 all histograms)
82
83 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
84
85 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
86
87 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
88
89 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
90 an output stream instead of the whole container only
91
92 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
93 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
94
95 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
96 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
97
98 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
99 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
100
101 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
102
103 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
104 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
105 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
106
107 - Added:
108 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
109 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
110 they are needed in the flux calculation in
111 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
112 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
113 of Theta and the true energy
114
115 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
116 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
117 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
118 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
119 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
120 by unfolding
121
122 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
123
124
125
126 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
127
128 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
129 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
130 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
131
132 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
133
134 - Introduced verbosity levels
135
136 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
137
138 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
139 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
140
141 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
142 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
143
144 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
145
146 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
147
148 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
149 of a parameter container for each event
150
151 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
152
153 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
154
155 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
156 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
157 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
158
159 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
160 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
161 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
162
163
164

168
169 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
170 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
171
172 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
173 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
174 states
175
176 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
177 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
178

183
184 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
185 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
186
187 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
188 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
189 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
190
191 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
192 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
193
194 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
195 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
196
197 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
198 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
