3| 12 March 2009: release Version1.5 |
4 \-----------------------------------------/
5
6 * Changes relative to V.1.4beta:
7 - implementation of the energy flow
8 - calotowers are first merged then smeared
9 - photons are based on these calotowers: conservative approach
10 - electrons are separately smeared according to the calotower
11 resolution.
12 - new: list of calorimeters ; CaloUtil added
13 - new: constants moved from SmearUtil.* to D_Constants.*
14 - new: GenParticle class
15 - ParticleUtil changed into D_Particle
16 - tracks and Taujets have now a charge
17 - output available as a LHCO (text) data file, in option
18 - extensive test and correction of the Bfield
19 - using now an exact computation, assuming solenoidal field
20 - about 20% faster than iterative approach
21 - charged lepton isolation: IsolPt available
22 - data cards
23 - default names have been changed
24 - more parameters for more flexibility

28| 09 February 2009: release Version1.4beta |
29 \-----------------------------------------/
30
31 * Changes relative to V.1.3beta:
32 - new overal header and program output to screen.
33 - new trigger cards ATLAS and CMS-like
34 - new detector card ATLAS oriented
35 - New input parameters in the datacard for very forward detectors
36 - Modification of the Resolution.cpp code to run on the output of Delphes directly
37 - #include statements have been cleaned ; more include paths
38 in the compilation, leading to easier #include statements.
39 - extensive use of 'valgrind' for the search for memory leaks.
40 No more explicit leak is in the code. The only leaks left are
41 related to ROOT, to mcfio dependecy and to Hector.
42 This implied the systematic addition of copy-constructor,
43 operator= and correct destructors in Delphes classes
44 - update of the BField simulation; still in the case of B = Bz only
45 - JetsUtil* files renamed to JetsUtil*
46 * Private modifications in dependencies
47 - memory leaks removed in FROG (applied on Frog v1.106)
48 - systematic change of by-value parameters to "by-const-reference"
49 in Hector (applied on Hector v1.3.1)

51 /-----------------------------------------\
52| 29 January 2009: release Version1.3beta |
53 \-----------------------------------------/
54
55 * Changes relative to V.1.2beta:
56 - Cleaning of non necessary comments
57 - Removal of the minimal transverse momentum applied on tracks and calotowers when the magnetic field is simulated
58 - Correction of the FROG interface
59 - Addition of a new standalone code to run FROG on the analysis output ROOT file
60 - New magnetic field algorithm: exact computation in case of magnetic field having a Bz component only
61 - Time performance monitoring
62 - Cleaner tarball
63 * Known limitations of this release are:
64 -Work is currently being done on eta/phi variables leading to some uncertainties on these quantities when the magnetic field is switched on

69| 18 December 2008: release Version1.2beta |
70 \-----------------------------------------/
71
72 * Changes relative to V.1.1beta:
73 - Reconstruction of jets: the number of defined cell
74 towers is now correctly taken into account by the
75 jet algorithms
76 - Input for jet reconstruction: calotowers instead
77 of generated particles
78 - Input datacard parameters now taken into account by
79 the jets, very forward detectors, magnetic field
80 propagation steps
81
82
83 /-----------------------------------------\
84| 13 December 2008: release Version1.1beta |
85 \-----------------------------------------/
86
87 * Changes relative to V.1.0beta:
88 - Addition of a class that run the FROG code on the
89 reconstructed events to perform visualisation of
90 events and detector geometry
91 - Addition in the datacard of flags to switch on/off
92 magnetic field, very forward detectors, trigger and FROG
93 running
94
95
96 /-----------------------------------------\
97| December 2008: release Version1.0beta |
98 \-----------------------------------------/
99
100 * First available release
101 * Includes
102 - Classes that perform
103 - Conversion of HepMC, LHE and root file conversion
104 - Simulation of charged particles into a magnetic field
105 - Smearing of the energy of undecaying particles
106 according to some applied resolution functions
107 - Reconstruction of jets using the FastJet package
108 - Simulation of very forward detector selection
109 - Application of a trigger selection
110 - An input datacard that permit two easily change running
111 configuration of the detector simulation (e.g. data/DataCardDet.dat).
112 - An input trigger datacard to apply a selection of events
113 with user defined trigger bits (e.g. data/trigger.dat).
114 - An example of user code to run on the output root file of
115 the DELPHES program.
116 * Known limitations of this release are
117 - Imperfect reconstruction of jets: the number of defined cell
118 towers not correctly taken into account by the jet algorithms.
119 - Reconstruction of very forward detectors not entirely completed.
