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 contents (MCameraSmooth)
63
64 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
65 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
66
67 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
68 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
69 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
70 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
71 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
72
73
74
75 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
76
77 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
78 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
79 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
80 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
81
82 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
83 for the collection area calculation
84
85 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
86 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
87
88 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
89 of one container
90
91 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
92 ascii file
93
94 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
95 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
96 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
97 hillas parameters)
98
99 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
100 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
101 see MHillas and MHillasExt
102
103 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
104 see MHillasSrc
105
106 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
107 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
108 all histograms)
109
110 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
111
112 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
113
114 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
115
116 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
117 an output stream instead of the whole container only
118
119 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
120 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
121
122 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
123 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
124
125 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
126 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
127
128 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
129
130 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
131 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
132 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
133
134 - Added:
135 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
136 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
137 they are needed in the flux calculation in
138 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
139 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
140 of Theta and the true energy
141
142 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
143 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
144 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
145 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
146 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
147 by unfolding
148
149 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
150
151
152
153 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
154
155 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
156 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
157 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
158
159 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
160
161 - Introduced verbosity levels
162
163 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.

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

197 together with the calculated hillas ellipse

201 states
202
203 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
204 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
205

210
211 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
212 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
213
214 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
215 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
216 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
217
218 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
219 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
220
221 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
222 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
223
