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 use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
78
79
80 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
81
82 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
83 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
84 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
85 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
86
87 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
88 for the collection area calculation
89
90 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
91 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
92
93 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
94 of one container
95
96 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
97 ascii file
98
99 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
100 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
101 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
102 hillas parameters)
103
104 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
105 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
106 see MHillas and MHillasExt
107
108 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
109 see MHillasSrc
110
111 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
112 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
113 all histograms)
114
115 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
116
117 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
118
119 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
120
121 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
122 an output stream instead of the whole container only
123
124 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
125 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
126
127 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
128 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
129
130 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
131 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
132
133 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
134
135 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
136 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
137 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
138
139 - Added:
140 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
141 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
142 they are needed in the flux calculation in
143 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
144 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
145 of Theta and the true energy
146
147 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
148 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
149 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
150 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
151 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
152 by unfolding
153
154 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
155
156
157
158 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
159
160 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
161 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
162 able to deal with Star Field NSB.

171 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
172
173 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
174 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
175

177
178 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
179
180 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
181 of a parameter container for each event
182

187 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
188 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
189 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
190
191 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
192 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
193 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
194
195

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