     - implemented Tpoint- and Starguider-Mode (switches all needed item)
       put some code into functions therefor
     - implemented releasing of button, if no tpoint can be taken
     - fixed small bugs in (un)checking items
     - removed starguider analyis (writing root-files) from starguider mode to 
       stabilize the code 
     - added 'fGetter->ExitLoop()' before each 'delete fGetter'
     - added SetDirectory(0) for histogram in starguider

   * tpoint/bending051124.txt:
     - added 



 2005/08/29 - Daniela Dorner

   * main/MStarguider.cc, tcpip/MDriveCom.[h,cc]:
     - added to variables to the Starguider report



 2005/08/22 - Thomas Bretz

   * candrv/nodedrv.cc, main/MTracking.cc:
     - fixed usage of MTime (MTime(-1) instead of MTime())



 2005/08/22 - Thomas Bretz

   * caos/Ring.[h,cc]:
     - added a sanity check for the case a led entry == NULL

   * caos/Rings.[h,cc]:
     - code cleanup
     - added a sanity check to CalcRings

   * devdrv/shaftencoder.h:
     - added new member function GetPosDirCorrected
     - added new member function GetOffsetDirCorrected

   * main/MStarguider.cc:
     - set number of minimum required LEDs for the ring calculation
       to 3. With two LEDs you can NEVER calculate a ring!
     - added another sanity check in FindStars

   * main/MTracking.cc:
     - replaced ?:-operators by new functions Get*DirCorrected
     - made sure that if both directions have changed the reset
       really causes the correct values to be used immediatly!
     - added some code for future use



 2005/07/28 - Florian Goebel

   * videodev/FilterLed.[cc,h]
     - add GetMeanPositionCircle and FindStarCircle
 
   * devdrv/shaftencoder.[cc,h]
     - add: fDirHasChanged, fDirChangedPos, fDirChangedOffset,
            fDirection, fHysteresisPos, fHysteresisNeg

   * main/MCosy.cc
     - set faster acceleration and Velocity parameters in TrackPositionGRB

   * main/MPointing.cc
     - correct bug which always set speed to LO-SPEED

   * main/MStarguider.[cc,h]
     - add new Popup "Operation" (functionality is not ready yet)
     - add new procedure: FindRoqueLamp
     - in MStarguider::FindStar now use Leds::FindStarCircle 
       (instead of Leds::FindStar)

   * main/MTracking.cc
     - calculate DirHasChanged etc.



 2005/04/11 - Thomas Bretz

   * main/MTracking.cc:
     - allow to send velocity and request position twice
     - enhanced some debugging output

   * candrv/network.[h,cc]:
     - implemented PrintError

   * candrv/nodedrv.[h,cc]:
     - implemented new argument (zombie) to WaitForSdo which allows
       to mark a missing CANbus message as non-critical



 2005/03/21 - Thomas Bretz

   * tcpip/MDriveCom.[h,cc]:
     - added a missing white space behind the brightness and
       fixed the wrong units of Zd/Az in the starguider report



 2005/03/17 - Thomas Bretz

   * main/MCosy.[h,cc]:
     - implemented WM_GRB and TrackPositionGRB for GRB mode

   * main/MStarguider.cc:
     - added 'status' to FINDSTAR-REPORT
     - send STARG-REPORT only if Starguider is switched on
     - enhanced output in starguider report

   * tcpip/MCeCoCom.cc:
     - tried to backengineer the CC-REPORT because it is not documented
       in the CC TDAS
     - changed critical values for windspeed from 10/20/30 to 30/40/50

   * tcpip/MDriveCom.[h,cc]:
     - implemented handling of GRB command
     - enhanced SendStargReport. Starguider Report now:
       misszd[%05.3f] missaz[%05.3f] 
       nomzd[%c %03d %02d %03d] nomaz[%c %03d %02d %03d]
       centerx[%05.1f] centery[%05.1f] n[%04d]
       bright[%03.1f] mjd[%12.6f]
