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 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
83
84
85
86 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
87
88 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
89 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
90 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
91 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
92
93 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
94 for the collection area calculation
95
96 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
97 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
98
99 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
100 of one container
101
102 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
103 ascii file
104
105 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
106 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
107 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
108 hillas parameters)
109
110 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
111 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
112 see MHillas and MHillasExt
113
114 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
115 see MHillasSrc
116
117 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
118 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
119 all histograms)
120
121 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
122
123 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
124
125 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
126
127 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
128 an output stream instead of the whole container only
129
130 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
131 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
132
133 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
134 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
135
136 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
137 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
138
139 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
140
141 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
142 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
143 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
144
145 - Added:
146 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
147 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
148 they are needed in the flux calculation in
149 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
150 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
151 of Theta and the true energy
152
153 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
154 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
155 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
156 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
157 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
158 by unfolding
159
160 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
161
162
163
164 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
165
166 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
167 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
168 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
169
170 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
171
172 - Introduced verbosity levels
173
174 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.

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

207 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
208 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
209

212 states
213
214 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
215 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
216

221
222 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
223 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
224
225 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
226 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
227 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
228
229 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
230 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
231
232 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
233 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
234
235 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
236 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
