3 *** Version 0.8
4
5 - added all subdirectories as Include-Paths for ACLIC (s. rootlogon.C)
6
7 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
8 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
9 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array.
10
11 - added MHHadroness (and MHadroness) as a general facility to evaluate
12 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
13
14 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
15
16 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
17 (MHMatrix)
18
19 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
20 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
21
22 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours)
23 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, MHMatrix)
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 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillas according to TDAS 02-03
38
39 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
40
41 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
42
43 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
44
45 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
46 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
47 have any neighbour)
48
49 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
50 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
51 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
52 changed.
53
54
55
56 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
57
58 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
59 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
60 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
61 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
62
63 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
64 for the collection area calculation
65
66 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
67 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
68
69 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
70 of one container
71
72 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
73 ascii file
74
75 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
76 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
77 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
78 hillas parameters)
79
80 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
81 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
82 see MHillas and MHillasExt
83
84 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
85 see MHillasSrc
86
87 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
88 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
89 all histograms)
90
91 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
92
93 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
94
95 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
96
97 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
98 an output stream instead of the whole container only
99
100 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
101 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
102
103 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
104 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
105
106 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
107 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
108
109 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
110
111 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
112 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
113 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
114
115 - Added:
116 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
117 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
118 they are needed in the flux calculation in
119 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
120 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
121 of Theta and the true energy
122
123 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
124 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
125 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
126 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
127 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
128 by unfolding
129
130 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
131
132
133
134 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
135
136 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
137 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
138 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
139
140 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
141
142 - Introduced verbosity levels
143
144 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
145
146 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
147 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
148
149 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
150 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
151
152 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
153
154 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
155
156 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
157 of a parameter container for each event
158
159 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
160
161 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
162
163 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
164 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
165 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
166
167 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
168 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
169 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
170
171
172

176
177 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
178 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
179
180 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
181 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
182 states
183
184 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
185 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
186

191
192 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
193 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
194
195 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
196 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
197 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
198
199 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
200 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
201
202 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
203 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
204

206 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
