480 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
481 an example can be found at status.C)
482

519 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
520 have any neighbour)
521
522 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from

579 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
580
581 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
582 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
583

585 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

595 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
596
597 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
598 (thanks to Raquel)
599
600 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
601 estfit.C) using a parametrization
602
603 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
604 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
605 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
606
607
608
609 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
610
611 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
612 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
613 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
614 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
615
616 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
617 for the collection area calculation
618
619 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
620 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
621
622 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
623 of one container
624
625 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
626 ascii file
627
628 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
629 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
630 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
631 hillas parameters)
632
633 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
634 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
635 see MHillas and MHillasExt
636
637 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
638 see MHillasSrc
639
640 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
641 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
642 all histograms)
643
644 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
645
646 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
647
648 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
649
650 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
651 an output stream instead of the whole container only
652
653 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
654 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
655
656 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
657 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
658
659 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
660 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
661
662 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
663
664 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
665 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
666 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
667
668 - Added:
669 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
670 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
671 they are needed in the flux calculation in
672 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
673 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
674 of Theta and the true energy
675
676 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
677 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
678 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
679 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
680 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
681 by unfolding
682
683 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
684
685
686
687 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
688
689 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
690 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
691 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
692
693 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
694
695 - Introduced verbosity levels
696
697 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
698
699 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
700 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
701
702 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
703 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
704
705 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
706
707 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
708
709 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
710 of a parameter container for each event
711
712 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
713
714 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
715
716 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
717 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
718 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
719
720 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
721 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
722 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
723
724
725
726 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)
727
728 - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)
729
730 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
731 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
732
733 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
734 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
735 states
736
737 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
738 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
739
740 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
741
742 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
743 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
744
745 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
746 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
747
748 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
749 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
750 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
751
752 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
753 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
754
755 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
756 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
757
758 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
759 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
760

782 a parameter (for example: the number of level 1 triggers in a MC-file)
783
784
