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 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
85
86 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
87 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
88
89
90
91 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
92
93 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
94 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
95 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
96 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
97
98 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
99 for the collection area calculation
100
101 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
102 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
103
104 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
105 of one container
106
107 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
108 ascii file
109
110 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
111 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
112 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
113 hillas parameters)
114
115 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
116 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
117 see MHillas and MHillasExt
118
119 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
120 see MHillasSrc
121
122 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
123 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
124 all histograms)
125
126 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
127
128 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
129
130 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
131
132 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
133 an output stream instead of the whole container only
134
135 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
136 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
137
138 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
139 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
140
141 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
142 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
143
144 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
145
146 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
147 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
148 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
149
150 - Added:
151 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
152 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
153 they are needed in the flux calculation in
154 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
155 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
156 of Theta and the true energy
157
158 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
159 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
160 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
161 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
162 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
163 by unfolding
164
165 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
166
167
168
169 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
170
171 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
172 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
173 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
174

185 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
186
187 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
188
189 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
190
191 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
192 of a parameter container for each event
193
194 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
195
196 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
197
198 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
199 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
200 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
201
202 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
203 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
204 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
205
206

213 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
214
215 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
216 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
217 states
218
219 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
220 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
221

226
227 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
228 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
229
230 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
231 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
232 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
233
234 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
235 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
236
237 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
238 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
239
