6 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
7
8 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
9 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
10 by 0.2 slices)
11
12 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
13 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
14
15 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
16 also done with a intercalibration input file
17
18 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
19
20 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
21
22 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
23
24 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
25
26 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
27
28 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
29
30 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
31
32 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
33 which is more than 5 times the variance
34
35 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
36
37 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
38 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
39
40 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
41 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
42
43 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
44 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
45
46 - update the reference lines for the december data
47
48 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
49 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
50 pulse position changes much.
51
52 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
53 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
54 signals lower than 90 phes.
55
56 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
57 Jan and Dec.
58
59 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
60 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
61
62 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
63 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
64 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
65 than with old versions (wrong units))
66
67 - As a workaround made the pretty palette the default. The inverse
68 Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration runs a lot.
69
70 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
71 formats are still unsupported by root)
72
73 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
74 for automatic processing
75
76
77

81 decided by the Collaboration Board
82
83 - Reference lines in the display can be read from resource file
84
85 - Interlaced calibration events can be handled by callisto

96
97 - the output of merpp-update now contains starguider information:
98 MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
99
100 - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor

102 energy (Size) events.
103
104 - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto
105
106 - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of

112 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
113 in a tasklist (MHexagonalFTCalc) example: hft.C
114
115 - added class to enhance the MCerPhotEvt from the Magic camera geometry

117 small pixels, example: extendcam.C
118
119 - added possibility to write data to memory (TTree) using MWriteRootFile
120
121 - added possibility to read a TTree stored only in memory by MReadTree
122
123 - new classes to deal with the interleaved calibration events:
124 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
125
126 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
127
128 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
129 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
130 the slices by statistics
131 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
132 signal extractor without randomization
133 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
134 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
135 randomly fixed)
136 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
137 long as nobody really needs it:
138 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
139 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
140
141 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
142
143 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
144 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
145 roughly 0.5%
146
147 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
148 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
149 batch mode possible:
150 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
151
152 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
153 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
154
155 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
156 camera files.
157
158 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
159
160 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
161 accurate now
162
163 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
164 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
165 * the new implementation is faster and
166 * needs less storage space
167
168 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
169 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)

420 - Added a tutorial macro demonstrating how report files are merpped
421 and how they can be read from the root file in the correct order
422 of time (readrep.C)
423

527
528 - added a new status display which can show the present status
529 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
530 an example can be found at status.C)
531
532 - reorganized directories:
533 classes describing the image --> mimage
534 classes containing Monte Carlo Histograms --> mhistmc
535 classes for Random Forest method --> mranforest
536
537 - added (event-)weights to fill histograms

565 missing a single NN)
566
567 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
568 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
569 have any neighbour)
570
571 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
572 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
573 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
574 please ask Abelardo)

618
619 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
620
621 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
622 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
623
624 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
625 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
626 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
627 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
628 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
629
630 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
631 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
632
633 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
634 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

655
656
657
658 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
659
660 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
661 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
662 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
663 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
664
665 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
666 for the collection area calculation
667
668 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
669 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
670
671 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
672 of one container
673
674 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
675 ascii file
676
677 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
678 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
679 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
680 hillas parameters)
681
682 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
683 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
684 see MHillas and MHillasExt
685
686 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
687 see MHillasSrc
688
689 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
690 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
691 all histograms)
692
693 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
694
695 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
696
697 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)

700 an output stream instead of the whole container only
701
702 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
703 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
704
705 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
706 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
707
708 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
709 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
710
711 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
712
713 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
714 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
715 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
716
717 - Added:
718 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
719 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
720 they are needed in the flux calculation in
721 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
722 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
723 of Theta and the true energy
724
725 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
726 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
727 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
728 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
729 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
730 by unfolding
731
732 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
733

765 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
766 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
767 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
768
769 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
770 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
771 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.

795 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
796
797 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
