5This is a streamlining of the N-subjettiness code, developed mainly by TJ
6Wilkason. The core functionality is unchanged, but classes have been
7dramatically reorganized to allow for later expansion. Because the API for
8Njettiness has changed, we have called this v2 (http://semver.org).
9
10Note that we have maintain backwards compatibility for the typical ways that
11Nsubjettiness was used. In particular, all of the Nsubjettiness class code in
12the example file from v1.0.3 still compiles, as does the NjettinessPlugin class
13code that uses the default measure.
14
15The key new features are:
16
17 * NsubjettinessRatio: Direct access to tau_N / tau_M (the most requested
18 feature)
19 * MeasureDefinition to allow access to normalized and unnormalized measures
20 * AxesDefinition to allow for access to more general axes modes
21 * Winner-Take-All recombination axes: a faster way to find axes than beta=1
22 minimization, but with comparable performance.
23 * TauComponents to get access to the pieces of the N-(sub)jettiness
24 calculation.
25 * TauExtras to get complete access to get partitioning and axes information.
26 * For clarity, split the example file into an example_basic_usage and
27 example_advanced_usage (and example_advanced_usage_ee for e+e- collisions).
28 * In Nsubjettiness, access to seedAxes() and currentAxes() to figure out the
29 axes used before and after minimization.
30 * In Nsubjettiness, access to currentSubjets() to get the subjet fourvectors.
31 * (v2.2) XConePlugin, which improves on the previous NjettinessPlugin to use
32 N-jettiness as a jet finder using the new ConicalGeometric measure.
33
34-- 2.2.4: (Jun 14, 2016) Fixed bug where multi-pass minimization could yield
35 pathological axes (thanks Gregory Soyez)
36-- 2.2.3: (Apr 4, 2016) Fixed bug where a jet with fewer than N constituents
37 could give random value for tau_N (thanks Nathan Hartland)
38-- 2.2.2: (Mar 29, 2016) Updating SharedPtr interface for FJ 3.2
39-- 2.2.1: (Sept 28, 2015) Fix of small Makefile bug
40-- 2.2.0: (Sept 7, 2015) Inclusion of the XCone jet algorithm, as well as a
41 few new measures, including the "conical geometric" measure and
42 options for e+e- colliders. Improvement of the
43 Measure/AxesDefinition interface to allow for direct
44 use in calculations.
45 * Fixed bug where MultiPass_Axes did not actually minimize
46 * Fixed floating point error with infinity^2 in various measures
47
48-- 2.1.0: (July 9, 2014) Inclusion of Measure/AxesDefinition interface.
49 This was the first publicly available version of Nsubjettiness v2.
50-- 2.0.0: Initial release of v2.0. This was never officially made public.

52-------------------------
53Version 1
54-------------------------
55
56This was a new release using FastJet contrib framework, primary developed by
57Jesse Thaler.
58
59-- 1.0.3: Added inlines to fix compile issue (thanks Matthew Low)
60-- 1.0.2: Fixed potential dependency issue (thanks FJ authors)
61-- 1.0.1: Fixed memory leak in Njettiness.hh (thanks FJ authors)
62-- 1.0.0: New release using FastJet contrib framework. This includes a new
63makefile and a simplified example program.

69The previous versions of this code were developed initially by Ken Van Tilburg,
70tweaked by Jesse Thaler, and made into a robust FastJet add on by Chris
71Vermilion.

73Previous versions available from:
74 http://jthaler.net/jets/Njettiness-0.5.1.tar.gz (Experimental Version)
75 http://jthaler.net/jets/Njettiness-0.4.1.tar.gz (Stable Version)
76
77Previous version history:
78-- 0.5.1: For Njettiness Plugin, added access to currentTau values and axes via
79 ClusterSequence::Extras class. (thanks to Dinko Ferencek and John
80 Paul Chou)
81-- 0.5.0: Corrected fatal error in ConstituentTauValue (TauValue unaffected).
82 Started process of allowing for more general measures and alternative
83 minimization schemes. Extremely preliminary inclusion of alternative
84 "geometric" measure.
85-- 0.4.1: Corrected bug where a too-small value of Rcut would cause the
86 minimization procedure to fail (thanks Marat Freytsis, Brian Shuve)
87-- 0.4.0: Adding Nsubjettiness FunctionOfPseudoJet<float>. Re-organizing file
88 structure and doing some re-naming to clarify Njettiness vs.
89 Nsubjettiness. Some speedup in UpdateAxes code. (CKV)
90-- 0.3.2: Returns zero instead of a segmentation fault when the number of
91 particles in a jet is smaller than the N value in tau_N (thanks
92 Grigory Ovanesyan)
93-- 0.3.2: Fixed -Wshadow errors (thanks Grigory Ovanesyan)
94-- 0.3.1: Fixed stray comma/semicolon compiler error (thanks Grigory Ovanesyan)
95-- 0.3.1: Corrected tarbomb issue (thanks Jonathan Walsh)
96-- 0.3.1: Added anti-kT seeds as option
97-- 0.3.1: Fixed bug in minimization code with R_cutoff (thanks Chris Vermilion)
98-- 0.3.1: Added getPartition() and getJets() functions as helper functions for
99 Chris Vermilion. (JT)
