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 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
74 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
75
76
77
78 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
79
80 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
81 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
82 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
83 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
84
85 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
86 for the collection area calculation
87
88 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
89 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
90
91 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
92 of one container
93
94 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
95 ascii file
96
97 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
98 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
99 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
100 hillas parameters)
101
102 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
103 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
104 see MHillas and MHillasExt
105
106 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
107 see MHillasSrc
108
109 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
110 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
111 all histograms)
112
113 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
114
115 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
116
117 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
118
119 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
120 an output stream instead of the whole container only
121
122 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
123 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
124
125 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
126 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
127
128 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
129 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
130
131 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
132
133 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
134 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
135 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
136
137 - Added:
138 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
139 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
140 they are needed in the flux calculation in
141 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
142 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
143 of Theta and the true energy
144
145 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
146 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
147 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
148 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
149 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
150 by unfolding
151
152 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
153
154
155
156 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
157
158 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
159 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
160 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
161
162 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
163
164 - Introduced verbosity levels
165
166 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.

169 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
170
171 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
172 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
173
174 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
175
176 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
177
178 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
179 of a parameter container for each event
180
181 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
182
183 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
184
185 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
186 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
187 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
188
189 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
190 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
191 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
192
193

203 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
204 states
205
206 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
207 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
208

213
214 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
215 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
216
217 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
218 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
219 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
220
221 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
222 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
223
224 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
225 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
226
