12| 7 May 2009: release Version1.6 |
13 \-----------------------------------------/
14 * Changes relative to V.1.5:
15 - improved identification of input-data format (based on filename extension)
16 - bug found and corrected in the "side" variable of ZDC/RP220/FP420
17 - HepMC interface for input data
18 - new converter to read HepMC events
19 - new namespace TRootC
20 - HepMC 2.04.01 used

23| 12 March 2009: release Version1.5 |
24 \-----------------------------------------/
25
26 * Changes relative to V.1.4beta:
27 - implementation of the energy flow
28 - calotowers are first merged then smeared
29 - photons are based on these calotowers: conservative approach
30 - electrons are separately smeared according to the calotower
31 resolution.
32 - new: list of calorimeters ; CaloUtil added
33 - new: constants moved from SmearUtil.* to D_Constants.*
34 - new: GenParticle class
35 - ParticleUtil changed into D_Particle
36 - tracks and Taujets have now a charge
37 - output available as a LHCO (text) data file, in option
38 - extensive test and correction of the Bfield
39 - using now an exact computation, assuming solenoidal field
40 - about 20% faster than iterative approach
41 - charged lepton isolation: IsolPt available
42 - data cards
43 - default names have been changed
44 - more parameters for more flexibility

48| 09 February 2009: release Version1.4beta |
49 \-----------------------------------------/
50
51 * Changes relative to V.1.3beta:
52 - new overal header and program output to screen.
53 - new trigger cards ATLAS and CMS-like
54 - new detector card ATLAS oriented
55 - New input parameters in the datacard for very forward detectors
56 - Modification of the Resolution.cpp code to run on the output of Delphes directly
57 - #include statements have been cleaned ; more include paths
58 in the compilation, leading to easier #include statements.
59 - extensive use of 'valgrind' for the search for memory leaks.
60 No more explicit leak is in the code. The only leaks left are
61 related to ROOT, to mcfio dependecy and to Hector.
62 This implied the systematic addition of copy-constructor,
63 operator= and correct destructors in Delphes classes
64 - update of the BField simulation; still in the case of B = Bz only
65 - JetsUtil* files renamed to JetsUtil*
66 * Private modifications in dependencies
67 - memory leaks removed in FROG (applied on Frog v1.106)
68 - systematic change of by-value parameters to "by-const-reference"
69 in Hector (applied on Hector v1.3.1)

71 /-----------------------------------------\
72| 29 January 2009: release Version1.3beta |
73 \-----------------------------------------/
74
75 * Changes relative to V.1.2beta:
76 - Cleaning of non necessary comments
77 - Removal of the minimal transverse momentum applied on tracks and calotowers when the magnetic field is simulated
78 - Correction of the FROG interface
79 - Addition of a new standalone code to run FROG on the analysis output ROOT file
80 - New magnetic field algorithm: exact computation in case of magnetic field having a Bz component only
81 - Time performance monitoring
82 - Cleaner tarball
83 * Known limitations of this release are:
84 -Work is currently being done on eta/phi variables leading to some uncertainties on these quantities when the magnetic field is switched on

89| 18 December 2008: release Version1.2beta |
90 \-----------------------------------------/
91
92 * Changes relative to V.1.1beta:
93 - Reconstruction of jets: the number of defined cell
94 towers is now correctly taken into account by the
95 jet algorithms
96 - Input for jet reconstruction: calotowers instead
97 of generated particles
98 - Input datacard parameters now taken into account by
99 the jets, very forward detectors, magnetic field
100 propagation steps

102
103 /-----------------------------------------\
104| 13 December 2008: release Version1.1beta |
105 \-----------------------------------------/
106
107 * Changes relative to V.1.0beta:
108 - Addition of a class that run the FROG code on the
109 reconstructed events to perform visualisation of
110 events and detector geometry
111 - Addition in the datacard of flags to switch on/off
112 magnetic field, very forward detectors, trigger and FROG
113 running

117| December 2008: release Version1.0beta |
118 \-----------------------------------------/
119
120 * First available release
121 * Includes
122 - Classes that perform
123 - Conversion of HepMC, LHE and root file conversion
124 - Simulation of charged particles into a magnetic field
125 - Smearing of the energy of undecaying particles
126 according to some applied resolution functions
127 - Reconstruction of jets using the FastJet package
128 - Simulation of very forward detector selection
129 - Application of a trigger selection
130 - An input datacard that permit two easily change running
131 configuration of the detector simulation (e.g. data/DataCardDet.dat).
132 - An input trigger datacard to apply a selection of events
133 with user defined trigger bits (e.g. data/trigger.dat).
134 - An example of user code to run on the output root file of
135 the DELPHES program.
136 * Known limitations of this release are

138 towers not correctly taken into account by the jet algorithms.
139 - Reconstruction of very forward detectors not entirely completed.
