    * merpp.cc:
      - new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop
+
+   * mbadpixels/MBadPixelsTreat.cc:
+     - removed the checks in the algorithm whether the current pixel
+       is NULL. MSignalCam doesn't support zero supression anymore.
+       GetPixById has been replaced by the []-operator
