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

170 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
171
172 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
173 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
174
175 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
176
177 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
178
179 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
180 of a parameter container for each event
181
182 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
183
184 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
185
186 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
187 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
188 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
189
190 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
191 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
192 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
193
194

204 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
205 states
206
207 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
208 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
209

214
215 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
216 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
217
218 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
219 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
220 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
221
222 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
223 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
224
225 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
226 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
227
