+
+   - callisto: finally the raw data we read is now real 16bit (with
+     10bit precision) for MUX data and not a stripped 8bit number
+     anymore. Due to scaling of the numbers (without precision loss
+     into an [0-256[ range, the final numbers for pedestal, pedestalrms
+     and extacted signal don't change. However, at all places where
+     raw data is directly accessed (eg. saturation and variation 
+     limits in the signal- and pedestal-extraction) the numbers
+     refer still to the data's 16bit range.
+
+   - callisto: The maximum arrival time difference used in the bad
+     pixel treatment is now in units of nanoseconds, which leads to 3.0ns
+     for both, old FADC and MUX-FADC, data.
+
+   - callisto: Be aware that callisto is now calibrating the arrival time
+     in nanoseconds rather than time slices. Also all following tasks
+     have been changed to assume ns units now. If you star data 
+     calibrated with an older version it might be necessary to adapt 
+     some timimng parameters (Muon Analysis and MFSoftwareTrigger)
+     to obtain optimal results. The plot in the PulsePos tab 
+     will now be in ns, too. This might also mean that the Muon
+     analysis in star might not work as perfect as expected as long
+     as old files read in.
+
+   - star: For speed reasons events suitable for the muon analysis 
+     are now also preselected by fConcCOG<0.1 which seems to be a very
+     good preselector for muons.
+
+   - star: is now calculating a new timing parameter the Slope along
+     the major and minor axis of the shower. Therefore a numerical
+     solution of a line-fit is used. To use MHillasExt.fSlopeLong
+     and MHillasExt.fSlopeTrans don't forget to multiply it with
+     the sign stored in MHillasSrc.fCosDeltaAlpha as usual.
