7 - implemented "democratic cleaning" (cut value proportional to square
8 root of pixel area) according to Wolfgang's suggestion.
9
10 - added Sigmabar treatment (calculation and basic histogramming)
11
12 - added basic routines to apply padding
13
14 - added first implementation of MARS-based source visibility plotter
15 (needs to be linked against slalib, preliminary version)
16
17

19 *** Version 0.8 (2002/11/18)
20
21 - added all subdirectories as Include-Paths for ACLIC (s. rootlogon.C)
22
23 - corrected 48(!) wrong entries in the Next Neighbor table of the
24 Magic Camera (all in the inner part of the outer ring, mostly
25 missing a single NN)
26
27 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
28 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
29 have any neighbour)
30
31 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
32 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
33 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
34 please ask Abelardo)
35
36 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
37 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
38
39 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
40
41 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
42 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
43 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
44 changed.
45
46 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
47 (MHMatrix)
48
49 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
50 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
51
52 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours, Kernel)
53 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, multidimdist2.C, MHMatrix)
54
55 - Added a camera display displaying the pixel numbers to the
56 event display gui.
57
58 - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui
59

68
69 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
70
71 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
72
73 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
74
75 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
76 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
77 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
78
79 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
80
81 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
82 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
83
84 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
85 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
86 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
87 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
88 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
89
90 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
91 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
92
93 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
94 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
95
96 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
97 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
98
99 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
100
101 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
102
103 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
104 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
105

107 (thanks to Raquel)
108
109 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
110 estfit.C) using a parametrization
111
112 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
113 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
114 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
115
116
117
118 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
119
120 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
121 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
122 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
123 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
124
125 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
126 for the collection area calculation
127
128 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
129 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
130
131 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
132 of one container
133
134 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
135 ascii file
136
137 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
138 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
139 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
140 hillas parameters)
141
142 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
143 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
144 see MHillas and MHillasExt
145
146 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
147 see MHillasSrc
148
149 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
150 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
151 all histograms)
152
153 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
154
155 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
156
157 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
158
159 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
160 an output stream instead of the whole container only
161
162 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
163 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
164
165 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
166 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
167
168 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
169 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
170
171 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
172
173 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
174 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
175 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
176
177 - Added:
178 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
179 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
180 they are needed in the flux calculation in
181 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
182 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
183 of Theta and the true energy
184
185 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
186 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
187 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
188 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
189 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
190 by unfolding
191
192 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
193
194

217
218 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
219 of a parameter container for each event
220
221 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
222
223 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
224
225 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
226 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
227 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
228
229 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
230 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
231 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
232

253
254 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
255 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
256
257 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
258 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
259 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.

261 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
262 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
263
264 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
265 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
