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 - added new task to smooth the camera (MCameraSmooth)
63
64 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
65 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
66
67
68
69 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
70
71 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
72 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
73 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
74 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
75
76 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
77 for the collection area calculation
78
79 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
80 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
81
82 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
83 of one container
84
85 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
86 ascii file
87
88 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
89 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
90 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
91 hillas parameters)
92
93 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
94 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
95 see MHillas and MHillasExt
96
97 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
98 see MHillasSrc
99
100 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
101 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
102 all histograms)
103
104 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
105
106 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
107
108 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
109
110 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
111 an output stream instead of the whole container only
112
113 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
114 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
115
116 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
117 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
118
119 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
120 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
121
122 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
123
124 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
125 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
126 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
127
128 - Added:
129 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
130 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
131 they are needed in the flux calculation in
132 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
133 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
134 of Theta and the true energy
135
136 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
137 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
138 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
139 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
140 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
141 by unfolding
142
143 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
144
145
146
147 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
148
149 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
150 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
151 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
152
153 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
154
155 - Introduced verbosity levels
156
157 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
158
159 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
160 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
161
162 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
163 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
164
165 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
166
167 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
168
169 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
170 of a parameter container for each event
171
172 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
173
174 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
175
176 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
177 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
178 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
179
180 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
181 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
182 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
183
184
185

191 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
192

194 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
195 states
196
197 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
198 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
199

204
205 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
206 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
207
208 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
209 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
210 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
211
212 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
213 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
214
215 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
216 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
217
218 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
219 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
