11 to pixel area) according to Wolfgang's suggestion.
12
13 - added Sigmabar treatment (calculation and basic histogramming)
14
15 - added basic routines to apply padding
16
17 - added first implementation of MARS-based source visibility plotter

19
20 - enhanced functionality of data chains: random numbers, conversion
21 functions and access to MHMatrix objects
22
23 - fixed some bugs in the CT1 Preproc file reader, which gave wrong
24 numbers under certain circumstances (runs with 0 events included)
25
26 - fixed a bug in the general filter MF (didn't work on some systems
27 at all)
28
29 - fixed a bug in chaining files, which caused the analysis to crash or
30 ignore files
31
32 - implemented more geometry classes describing the parameters used
33 to simulate the PMT camera
34
35 - added new Monte Carlo classes containing the setup of the different
36 programs in the MC chain.

42 location (Long, Lat, etc)
43
44 - added Random Forest - method for g/h-separation
45
46 - made compatible with the latest PRO version of root (3.04/02)
47 (this means, that it is compiling, but not yet fully tested)

50 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
51 an example can be found at status.C)

66 Magic Camera (all in the inner part of the outer ring, mostly
67 missing a single NN)
68
69 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
70 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
71 have any neighbour)
72
73 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
74 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
75 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
76 please ask Abelardo)
77
78 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
79 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
80
81 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
82
83 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
84 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and

114
115 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
116
117 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
118 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
119 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
120
121 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
122
123 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
124 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
125
126 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
127 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
128 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
129 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
130 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
131
132 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
133 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
134
135 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
136 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
137
138 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
139 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
140

149 (thanks to Raquel)
150
151 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
152 estfit.C) using a parametrization
153

155 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
156 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
157
158
159
160 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
161
162 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
163 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
164 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
165 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
166
167 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
168 for the collection area calculation
169
170 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
171 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
172
173 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
174 of one container
175
176 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
177 ascii file
178
179 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
180 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
181 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
182 hillas parameters)
183
184 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
185 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
186 see MHillas and MHillasExt
187
188 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
189 see MHillasSrc
190
191 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
192 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
193 all histograms)
194
195 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
196
197 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
198
199 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
200
201 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
202 an output stream instead of the whole container only
203
204 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
205 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
206
207 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
208 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
209
210 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
211 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
212
213 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
214
215 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
216 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
217 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
218
219 - Added:
220 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
221 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
222 they are needed in the flux calculation in
223 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
224 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
225 of Theta and the true energy
226
227 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
228 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
229 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
230 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
231 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
232 by unfolding
233
234 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
235
236

242 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
243
244 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
245
246 - Introduced verbosity levels
247
248 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.

251 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
252
253 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
254 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
255
256 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
257
258 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
259
260 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
261 of a parameter container for each event
262
263 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
264
265 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
266
267 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
268 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
269 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
270
271 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
272 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
273 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
274
275

296 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
297 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
298
299 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
300 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
301 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
302
303 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
304 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
305
306 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
307 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
