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 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
90 (thanks to Raquel)
91
92
93
94 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
95
96 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
97 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
98 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
99 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
100
101 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
102 for the collection area calculation
103
104 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
105 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
106
107 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
108 of one container
109
110 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
111 ascii file
112
113 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
114 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
115 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
116 hillas parameters)
117
118 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
119 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
120 see MHillas and MHillasExt
121
122 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
123 see MHillasSrc
124
125 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
126 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
127 all histograms)
128
129 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
130
131 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
132
133 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
134
135 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
136 an output stream instead of the whole container only
137
138 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
139 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
140
141 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
142 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
143
144 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
145 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
146
147 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
148
149 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
150 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
151 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
152
153 - Added:
154 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
155 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
156 they are needed in the flux calculation in
157 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
158 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
159 of Theta and the true energy
160
161 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
162 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
163 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
164 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
165 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
166 by unfolding
167
168 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
169
170
171
172 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
173
174 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
175 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
176 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
177
178 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
179
180 - Introduced verbosity levels
181

187 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
188 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
189
190 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
191
192 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
193
194 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
195 of a parameter container for each event
196
197 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
198
199 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
200
201 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
202 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
203 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
204
205 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
206 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
207 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
208
209
210

214
215 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
216 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
217
218 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
219 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
220 states
221
222 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
223 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
224
225 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments

227 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
228 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
229
230 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
231 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
232
233 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
234 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
235 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
236
237 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
238 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
239
240 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
241 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
242
243 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
244 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
