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 - started a first implementation to be able to write the eventloop/
68 eventloop setup to a file (root-file, root-macro)
69
70
71
72 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
73
74 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
75 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
76 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
77 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
78
79 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
80 for the collection area calculation
81
82 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
83 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
84
85 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
86 of one container
87
88 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
89 ascii file
90
91 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
92 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
93 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
94 hillas parameters)
95
96 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
97 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
98 see MHillas and MHillasExt
99
100 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
101 see MHillasSrc
102
103 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
104 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
105 all histograms)
106
107 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
108
109 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
110
111 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
112
113 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
114 an output stream instead of the whole container only
115
116 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
117 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
118
119 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
120 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
121
122 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
123 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
124
125 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
126
127 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
128 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
129 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
130
131 - Added:
132 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
133 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
134 they are needed in the flux calculation in
135 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
136 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
137 of Theta and the true energy
138
139 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
140 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
141 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
142 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
143 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
144 by unfolding
145
146 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
147
148
149
150 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
151
152 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
153 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
154 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
155
156 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
157
158 - Introduced verbosity levels
159
160 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
161

163 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
164
165 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
166 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
167
168 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
169
170 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
171
172 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
173 of a parameter container for each event
174
175 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
176
177 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
178
179 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
180 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
181 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
182
183 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
184 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
185 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
186
187

194 together with the calculated hillas ellipse

207
208 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
209 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
210
211 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
212 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
213 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
214
215 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
216 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
217
218 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
219 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
220
