593 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
594
595 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
596 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
597
598 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
599 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
600
601 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
602 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
603
604 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
605
606 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
607
608 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
609 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
610
611 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
612 (thanks to Raquel)
613
614 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
615 estfit.C) using a parametrization
616
617 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
618 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
619 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
620
621
622
623 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
624
625 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
626 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
627 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
628 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
629
630 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
631 for the collection area calculation
632
633 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
634 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
635
636 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
637 of one container
638
639 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
640 ascii file
641
642 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
643 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
644 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
645 hillas parameters)
646
647 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
648 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
649 see MHillas and MHillasExt
650
651 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
652 see MHillasSrc
653
654 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
655 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
656 all histograms)
657
658 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
659
660 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
661
662 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
663
664 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
665 an output stream instead of the whole container only
666
667 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
668 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
669
670 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
671 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
672
673 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
674 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
675
676 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
677
678 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
679 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
680 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
681
682 - Added:
683 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
684 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
685 they are needed in the flux calculation in
686 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
687 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
688 of Theta and the true energy
689
690 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
691 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
692 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
693 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
694 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
695 by unfolding
696
697 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
698
699
700
701 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
702
703 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
704 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
705 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
706
707 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
708
709 - Introduced verbosity levels
710
711 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
712
713 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
714 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
715
716 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
717 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
718
719 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
720
721 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
722
723 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
724 of a parameter container for each event
725
726 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
727
728 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
729
730 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
731 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
732 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
733
734 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
735 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
736 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
737
738
739

743
744 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
745 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
746
747 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
748 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
749 states
750
751 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
752 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
753
754 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments

757 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
758
759 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
760 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
761
762 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
763 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
764 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
765
766 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
767 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
768
769 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
770 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
771
772 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
773 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
