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 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
80 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
81
82
83
84 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
85
86 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
87 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
88 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
89 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
90
91 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
92 for the collection area calculation
93
94 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
95 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
96
97 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
98 of one container
99
100 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
101 ascii file
102
103 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
104 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
105 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
106 hillas parameters)
107
108 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
109 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
110 see MHillas and MHillasExt
111
112 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
113 see MHillasSrc
114
115 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
116 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
117 all histograms)
118
119 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
120
121 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
122
123 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
124
125 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
126 an output stream instead of the whole container only
127
128 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
129 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
130
131 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
132 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
133
134 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
135 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
136
137 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
138
139 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
140 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
141 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
142
143 - Added:
144 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
145 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
146 they are needed in the flux calculation in
147 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
148 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
149 of Theta and the true energy
150
151 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
152 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
153 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
154 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
155 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
156 by unfolding
157
158 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
159
160
161
162 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
163
164 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
165 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
166 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
167
168 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
169
170 - Introduced verbosity levels
171
172 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.

175 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
176
177 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
178 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
179
180 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
181
182 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
183
184 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
185 of a parameter container for each event
186
187 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
188
189 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
190
191 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
192 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
193 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
194
195 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
196 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
197 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
198
199

204
205 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
206 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
207

209 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
210 states
211
212 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
213 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
214

219
220 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
221 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
222
223 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
224 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
225 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
226
227 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
228 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
229
230 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
231 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
232
