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 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
30 (MHMatrix)
31
32 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
33 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
34
35 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours)
36 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, MHMatrix)
37
38 - Added a camera display displaying the pixel numbers to the
39 event display gui.
40
41 - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui
42
43 - Changed the camera display to display the pixel numbering
44
45 - Added three buttons to the camera display to change the palette
46
47 - Added the number of used and core pixels after image cleaning
48 to MHillas
49
50 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillas according to TDAS 02-03
51
52 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
53
54 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
55
56 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
57
58 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
59 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
60 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
61
62
63
64 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
65
66 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
67 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
68 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
69 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
70
71 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
72 for the collection area calculation
73
74 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
75 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
76
77 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
78 of one container
79
80 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
81 ascii file
82
83 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
84 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
85 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
86 hillas parameters)
87
88 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
89 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
90 see MHillas and MHillasExt
91
92 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
93 see MHillasSrc
94
95 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
96 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
97 all histograms)
98
99 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
100
101 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
102
103 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
104
105 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
106 an output stream instead of the whole container only
107
108 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
109 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
110
111 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
112 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
113
114 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
115 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
116
117 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
118
119 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
120 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
121 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
122
123 - Added:
124 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
125 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
126 they are needed in the flux calculation in
127 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
128 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
129 of Theta and the true energy
130
131 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
132 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
133 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
134 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
135 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
136 by unfolding
137
138 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
139
140
141
142 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
143
144 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
145 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
146 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
147
148 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
149
150 - Introduced verbosity levels
151
152 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
153
154 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
155 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
156
157 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
158 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
159
160 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
161
162 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
163
164 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
165 of a parameter container for each event
166
167 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
168
169 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
170
171 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
172 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
173 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
174
175 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
176 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
177 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
178
179
180

186 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
187
188 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
189 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
190 states
191
192 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
193 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
194

199
200 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
201 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
202
203 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
204 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
205 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
206
207 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
208 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
209
210 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
211 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
212
