Changelog of the Calice Reconstruction Software

• 2006-10-09 (git tag v0.3.0rc1)
  • Support for data files : DESY 2006, 2005.
  • Added a correction of PCB wide pedestal shifts.
• 2006-09-11 (git tag v0.3.0rc0)
  • Update to DAQ software used for CERN beam test 2006, and the corresponding lcio converter.
  • Trigger handling entirely done by trigger processor
  • Histogram manager now supports 2D histograms and history graphs.
  • Further improved configre scripts, make files and m4 macros.
• 2006-03-02 lack of inspiration release (git tag v0.2.0rc7)
  • Update to new DAQ records/firmware.
  • Basic support for calibration signals.
  • New modular steering file creation tool.
  • Shared memory reader.
  • Prepared for supporting the A-HCAL.
  • Simplified configuration and hopefully fixed auto configuration.
• 2005-10-11 YADIBI release candidate 2 (git tag v0.1.0rc2)
  • Pedestal and noise sums are reset before accumulating new data in pedestal/random trigger sets. Fixes: broken pedestals and noise values after the second pedestal/random trigger set.
  • New flexible, easy to use display framework. Some displays are provided: Event display, drift chamber display, trigger display, raw value display, Histogram display.
  • Conditions data like records are announced as conditions data changes via a SimpleFileHandle.r
  • Processor to write selected conditions data to a MySQL data base.
  • Simple conditions data browser.
  • Conversion of Trigger event and configuration data. The solution is much simpler than in the current "official" conversion package. Hopefully, this scheme gets embraced.
• 2005-08-19 Major feature enhancement release (CVS tag v0-0-2)
  • Reconstructed hits now carry Mokka conform cell indices.
  • ECAL calibration support (conditions data).
  • Drift chamber reconstruction (Marlin Processor) and calibration support (conditions data).
  • Framework for multiple displays. They run in a separate thread and either display each event or only snapshots. Current displays:
    • OpenGL based event view (requires gtkglextmm).
    • Drift chamber reconstruction display (requires plotmm).
  • Events with missing ADC blocks are now recognised and flagged.
  • General cleanup of information and error messages.
  • Some improvement of the doxygen API documentation.
  • More memory leaks fixed (seems to be memory-leak free for the time being). One was inherited from the conversion framework and is hopefully now also fixed upstream.
• 2005-06-23 Bugfix release (CVS tag v0-0-1)
  • chaining several raw or LCIO files was broken (fixed).
  • SIO files where not properly closed (they could not be opened again)
  • geometry should be realistic now (maybe the shift of the structures for angles > 0 degree is not precise to a millimeter level).
  • Database population tools have now a common set of command line arguments.
  • Analysis of cosmics data works now.
  • Memory leak fixed.
  • GUI shows now module outlines or cells.
• 2005-06-13 Initial release. (CVS tag release_0-0-0)
