3 *** Version 0.8
4
5 - added all subdirectories as Include-Paths for ACLIC (s. rootlogon.C)
6
7 - corrected 48(!) wrong entries in the Next Neighbor table of the
8 Magic Camera (all in the inner part of the outer ring, mostly
9 missing a single NN)
10
11 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
12 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
13 have any neighbour)
14
15 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
16 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
17 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array.
18
19 - added MHHadroness (and MHadroness) as a general facility to evaluate
20 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
21
22 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
23
24 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
25 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
26 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
27 changed.
28
29
30 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
31 (MHMatrix)
32
33 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
34 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
35
36 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours)
37 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, MHMatrix)
38
39 - Added a camera display displaying the pixel numbers to the
40 event display gui.
41
42 - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui
43
44 - Changed the camera display to display the pixel numbering
45
46 - Added three buttons to the camera display to change the palette
47
48 - Added the number of used and core pixels after image cleaning
49 to MHillas
50
51 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillas according to TDAS 02-03
52
53 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
54
55 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
56
57 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
58
59
60
61 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
62
63 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
64 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
65 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
66 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
67
68 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
69 for the collection area calculation
70
71 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
72 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
73
74 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
75 of one container
76
77 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
78 ascii file
79
80 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
81 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
82 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
83 hillas parameters)
84
85 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
86 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
87 see MHillas and MHillasExt
88
89 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
90 see MHillasSrc
91
92 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
93 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
94 all histograms)
95
96 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
97
98 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
99
100 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
101
102 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
103 an output stream instead of the whole container only
104
105 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
106 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
107
108 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
109 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
110
111 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
112 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
113
114 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
115
116 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
117 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
118 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
119
120 - Added:
121 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
122 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
123 they are needed in the flux calculation in
124 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
125 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
126 of Theta and the true energy
127
128 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
129 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
130 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
131 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
132 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
133 by unfolding
134
135 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
136
137
138
139 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
140
141 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
142 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
143 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
144
145 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
146
147 - Introduced verbosity levels
148
149 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
150
151 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
152 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
153
154 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
155 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
156
157 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
158
159 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
160
161 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
162 of a parameter container for each event
163
164 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
165
166 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
167
168 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
169 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
170 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
171
172 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
173 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
174 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
175
176
177

181
182 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
183 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
184
185 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
186 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
187 states
188
189 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
190 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
191

196
197 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
198 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
199
200 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
201 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
202 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
203
204 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
205 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
206
207 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
208 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
209
