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. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
58 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
59 runs a lot.
60
61 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
62 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
63
64 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
65 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
66 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
67 than with old versions (wrong units))
68
69 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
70 formats are still unsupported by root)
71
72 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
73 for automatic processing
74
75
76

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

527 - added a new status display which can show the present status
528 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
529 an example can be found at status.C)
530
531 - reorganized directories:
532 classes describing the image --> mimage

567 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
568 have any neighbour)
569
570 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from

617
618 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
619
620 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
621 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
622
623 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
624 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
625 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
626 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
627 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
628
629 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
630 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
631
632 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
633 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
634
635 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
636 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)

647
648 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
649 estfit.C) using a parametrization
650
651 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
652 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
653 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
654
655
656
657 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
658
659 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
660 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
661 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
662 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
663
664 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
665 for the collection area calculation
666
667 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
668 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
669
670 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
671 of one container
672
673 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
674 ascii file
675
676 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
677 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
678 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
679 hillas parameters)
680
681 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
682 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
683 see MHillas and MHillasExt
684
685 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
686 see MHillasSrc
687
688 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
689 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
690 all histograms)
691
692 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
693
694 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
695
696 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)

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

761
762 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
763
764 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
765 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
766 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
767
768 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
769 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
770 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.

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

800 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
801 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
802
803 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
804 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
