    * Added consistency check for two consecutive runs

+   * Since ~1006246 (preliminary) the L1 signal (which is L1 after L2)
+     has been disconnected and the L1 (L1TPU) has directly been connected
+     to another bit in the trigger pattern. This has been fixed by an
+     update of the decoding. Both bits are now or'ed together.

    * creation of pedestal and calibration files is now steered by
      --mode (see ceres help)

+   * Instead of initializing the whole G-APD chip (all cells) before 
+     each event (which is rather time consuming) a time evolution before
+     each event is now simulated which is enough to recovere every cell
+     to 99.999% of its response taking the background rate into account.
+     This is in total about a factor of ten faster and should not be
+     less accurate because under normal conditions the recovering cells
+     and the newly hitten cells will hardly be identical (due to
+     statistical reasons)
+
+   * improved the trigger algorithm which is now faster and allows easily 
+     for multiplicity triggers
+
+   * The PDC flag in the file name is now correctly written
+
+   * A "PreCut" has been added which can be used after reading the events
+     to select them even before any calculation is done.

+   * The new drive reports which contain also the status of the starguider
+     are now implemented, but the starting date (17/05/09) is preliminary.
