2 *** Version <cvs>
3
4 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
5 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
6
7 - added new histograms for image parameters versus size (MHVsSize)
8
9 - support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
10 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
11 (MCameraCentralPixel)
12
13 - fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit pattern.
14 Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
15 intensity has been updated in some cases)
16
17 - add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over calibration
18 runs since some of the recent calibration runs have been taken
19 with Pin Diode.
20
21 - Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image files.
22 (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
23
24 - ganymed (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
25 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
26 MJSpectrum (sponde)
27
28 - added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941, 39943, 44833
29 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
30
31 - MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has been set to
32 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
33
34 - ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes, because
35 ProcessFile is missleading
36
37 - support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes (use
38 the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
39
40 - added muon support to star
41
42 - fixed a bug in MExtractTimeAndchargeSpline which could cause
43 different results with different compiler optimiztaion options
44 due to rounding errors.
45
46 - MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
47 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
48
49 - ganymed got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
50 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
51 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
52 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
53
54
55
56 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
57
58 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
59 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
60 by 0.2 slices)
61
62 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
63 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
64
65 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
66 also done with a intercalibration input file
67
68 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
69
70 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
71
72 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
73
74 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
75
76 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
77

83 which is more than 5 times the variance
84
85 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
86
87 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
88 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
89
90 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
91 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
92
93 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
94 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
95
96 - update the reference lines for the december data
97
98 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
99 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
100 pulse position changes much.
101
102 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
103 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
104 signals lower than 90 phes.
105
106 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
107 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
108 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
109 runs a lot.
110
111 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
112 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
113
114 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
115 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
116 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
117 than with old versions (wrong units))
118
119 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
120 formats are still unsupported by root)
121
122 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
123 for automatic processing
124
125

175 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
176
177 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
178 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
179 the slices by statistics
180 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
181 signal extractor without randomization
182 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
183 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
184 randomly fixed)
185 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
186 long as nobody really needs it:
187 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
188 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization

615
616 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
617 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
618 have any neighbour)
619
620 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
621 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
622 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
623 please ask Abelardo)
624
625 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
626 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
627
628 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
629
630 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule

667
668 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
669
670 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
671 instead of removing it completely from the analysis

674 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
675 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
676 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
677 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
678
679 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
680 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
681
682 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
683 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
684
685 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'

704
705
706
707 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
708
709 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
710 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
711 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
712 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
713
714 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
715 for the collection area calculation
716
717 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
718 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
719
720 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
721 of one container
722
723 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
724 ascii file
725
726 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
727 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
728 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
729 hillas parameters)
730
731 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
732 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
733 see MHillas and MHillasExt
734
735 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
736 see MHillasSrc
737
738 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
739 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
740 all histograms)
741
742 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
743
744 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
745

752 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
753
754 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
755 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
756
757 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
758 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
759
760 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
761
762 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
763 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
764 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
765
766 - Added:
767 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
768 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
769 they are needed in the flux calculation in
770 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
771 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
772 of Theta and the true energy
773
774 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
775 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
776 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
777 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
778 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
779 by unfolding
780

812 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
813
814 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
815 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
816 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
817
818 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
819 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
820 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
821

844 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
845
846 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
847 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
848 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
849
850 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
851 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
852
853 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
854 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
