                                                               -*-*- END -*-*-
 *** Version <cvs>

   - added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is displayed.
     The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
     function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
     you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
     is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
     MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc

   - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
     ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum

   - added new histograms for image parameters versus size (MHVsSize)

   - support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
     support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
     (MCameraCentralPixel)

   - fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit pattern. 
     Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the 
     intensity has been updated in some cases)

   - add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over calibration
     runs since some of the recent calibration runs have been taken 
     with Pin Diode.

   - Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image files.
     (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)

   - ganymed (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of 
     excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
     MJSpectrum (sponde)

   - added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941, 39943, 44833
     in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)

   - MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has been set to
     1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc

   - ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes, because
     ProcessFile is missleading

   - support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes (use
     the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)

   - MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
     accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence

   - ganymed got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
     Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
     this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
     default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc

   - Improved support for printing in status display:
     + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see 
       MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
     + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
       can be canged

   - improved showlog such that it handles different verbosity levels
     more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
     using showlog.

   - improved showplot
     + The new graphics formats have been implemented 
       (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
     + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
       the printing command from the command line you can use all
       the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call: 
       showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
       showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
       showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps

   - The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible

   - new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have been
     introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded, kDeadPedestalRms,
     kFluctuatingArrivalTimes

   - the charge timit in the calibration has been raised from 2.5 to 4.5

   - fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file versions
     newer than V200404070 

   - a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken from
     a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
     changed only minimally

   - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
     + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNuMEventsDump
     + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
     + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit

   - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
     + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right. 
     + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
       results on different platform or with different compiler options

   - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
     + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
     + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat

   - callisto:
     + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
     + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
     + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
       Default: -9.0 +4.5
     + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).



 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)

   - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
     Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
     by 0.2 slices)

   - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
     been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)

   - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
     also done with a intercalibration input file

   - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed

   - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0

   - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage

   - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop

   - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD

   - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD

   - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set

   - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
     which is more than 5 times the variance

   - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center

   - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
     copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events

   - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
     their number to ensure the correct synchronization

   - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
     of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data

   - update the reference lines for the december data

   - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
     This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
     pulse position changes much.

   - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
     filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
     signals lower than 90 phes.

   - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
     Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default. 
     The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
     runs a lot.

   - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
     in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)

   - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
     in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
     you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
     than with old versions (wrong units))

   - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
     formats are still unsupported by root)

   - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
     for automatic processing



 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)

   - the output of merpp-update now contains starguider information:
     MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
   
   - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor 
     values were lower than they should. This was more visible for high
     energy (Size) events.

   - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto

   - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of 
     the pedestal and pedestal rms through the signal extractor

     MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern

   - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events

   - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
     + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
       the slices by statistics                              
     + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
       signal extractor without randomization
     + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
       with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is 
       randomly fixed)
     The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
     long as nobody really needs it:
     + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): 
       extracted with the signal extractor with randomization

    - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically

    - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
      of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
      roughly 0.5%

    - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
      status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
      batch mode possible:
      showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root

    - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
      (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)

    - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
      camera files.

    - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file

    - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more 
      accurate now

    - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
      MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
       * the new implementation is faster and
       * needs less storage space

    - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the 
      whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)

    - implemented new image parameters for the border length of
      the shower image (MNewImagePar2)

    - implemented wobble-mode in ganymed

    - new class (MJOptimize) taking care of all optimization processes

     and how they can be read from the root file in the correct order
     of time (readrep.C)

   - Added a generalized histogram (similar to MH3) called MVsTime
     which allows to plot variables (or rules - MDataChain - of
     variables) vs time. For an example have a look at tempvstime.C.

   - Changed the name of the event trees:
       + Events    --> Events
       + PedEvents --> Pedestals
       + CalEvents --> Calibration

  - changed name of MTime in the event trees from MRawEvtTime to MTime

   - made compatible with the latest PRO version of root (3.04/02 and 3.05/07)
     (this means, that it is compiling, but not yet fully tested)

   - added a new status display which can show the present status
     of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
     an example can be found at status.C)

   - reorganized directories:
     classes describing the image              --> mimage

       + moved fNumUsedPix, fNumCorePix from MHillas to MNewImagePar
       + MHillasExt now derives from MParContainer instead of MHillas
     --> Files written with the old definition are more or less unreadable

   - reading of reflector files

   - display data from reflector files in the camera

   - implemented currents (and display them in the camera)

   - logarithmic scale in camera

     CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
     have any neighbour)

   - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
     a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
     to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
     please ask Abelardo)

   - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
     the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method

   - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)

   - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
     must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
     MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
     changed.

   - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
     (MHMatrix)

   - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
     (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)

   - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours, Kernel)
     (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, multidimdist2.C, MHMatrix)

   - Added a camera display displaying the pixel numbers to the
     event display gui.

   - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui

   - Changed the camera display to display the pixel numbering
   
   - Added three buttons to the camera display to change the palette

   - Added the number of used and core pixels after image cleaning
     to MHillas

   - Changed the algorithm used in MHillas according to TDAS 02-03

   - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]

   - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03

   - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc

   - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
     MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
     a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.

   - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)

   - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
     instead of removing it completely from the analysis

   - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
     its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
     it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
     and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
     report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.

   - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
     file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed

   - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
     title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

   - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
     neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)

   - Introduced more output to the camera displays

   - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray

   - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
     (MCT1ReadPreProc)

   - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
     (thanks to Raquel)

   - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
     estfit.C) using a parametrization

   - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
     setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader, 
     MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)



 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
 
   - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
     the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
     this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
     WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...

   - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
     for the collection area calculation

   - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
     doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite

   - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
     of one container

   - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
     ascii file

   - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
     to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the 
     data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the 
     hillas parameters)

   - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
     the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
     see MHillas and MHillasExt

   - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
     see MHillasSrc

   - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
     in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
     all histograms)

   - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg

   - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms

   - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)

   - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
     an output stream instead of the whole container only

   - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
     MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);

   - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
     MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");

   - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
     MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency

   - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.

   - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
     data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
     MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");

   - Added:
       * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
       * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
     they are needed in the flux calculation in 
     order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate 
     effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function 
     of Theta and the true energy

   - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy 
     (MHMcEnergyMigration):
     the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
     to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
     distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est 
     by unfolding

   - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.



 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)

   - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
     MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be 
     able to deal with Star Field NSB.

   - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction

   - Introduced verbosity levels

   - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.

   - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
     work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)

   - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background 
     and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)

   - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)

   - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations

   - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
     of a parameter container for each event

   - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C

   - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06

   - root 3.02/06 fixes:
     + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
     + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar

   - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
     in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and 
     Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.



 *** Version 0.5 (2001/11/06)

   - Added new GUI functionality (Analysis)

   - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
     together with the calculated hillas ellipse

   - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
     object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
     states

   - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation 
     (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)

   - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments

   - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
     a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)

   - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
     be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request

   - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
     'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
     yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.

   - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree 
     (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)

   - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
     between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.

   - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
     raw files, to get faster (around 10%)



 *** Version 0.4 (2001/09/20)

    - This release is made to compile on a root version >= 3.00

    - Fixed a bug which causes MReadTree to read the first file only

    - Added a task to compute the trigger rate (MMcTriggerRateCalc)
 
    - Added a task to write a container to an Ascii file (MWriteAsciiFile)

    - Added a task to write several container to a root file (MWriteRootFile)
    
    - Added calculation of the Enegry Threshold (MMcThresholdCalc)

      (Remark: of the same structure)
    
    - Now we are able to display events in a first version of the
      Camera event display. To do this we must run the macro 
      "macros/readCT1.C" to read data from CT1.
