2* Changes relative to V.1.7b
3 - LHE files were not processed correctly (empty Analysis/Trigger trees).
4 Now LHEFParticle derives from TRootC::GenParticle as it should.
5 - additional data in the logfile : run date/hour + all names of used input files
6 (input event files, detector card, trigger card, beam files, particle table)
7 - bug fix: it is now possible to read "delphes root files" as an input for Delphes (GEN tree)
8 - bug fix: number of events to process is correct event if multiple files in the inputlist
9 - updates in Resolution.cpp & Resolution_ATLAS.cpp
10 - new method "invisible()" in PdgParticle, needed for invisible particles BSM
11 - new : calorimeter endcaps. DetectorCard have been updated; however, 100% backward compatible

17* Changes relative to V.1.7
18 - small typos in "cout" removed
19 - Nevents implemented in DetectorCards

21 - bug removed with calotowers(BinEtaPhi) : now use the middle of the
22 tower and not its lower edge in eta and in phi

24 the options -Dmacos/-Dlinux/-Dwindows are automatically added
25 in CXXFLAGS when required
26 - 3 bugs removed in BField (omega*gammam ; units in r ; z_max).
27 Bfield validated.
28 - new headers in each file with full references

47 \-----------------------------------------/

57| 12 March 2009: release Version1.5 |
58 \-----------------------------------------/
59
60 * Changes relative to V.1.4beta:
61 - implementation of the energy flow
62 - calotowers are first merged then smeared
63 - photons are based on these calotowers: conservative approach
64 - electrons are separately smeared according to the calotower
65 resolution.
66 - new: list of calorimeters ; CaloUtil added
67 - new: constants moved from SmearUtil.* to D_Constants.*
68 - new: GenParticle class
69 - ParticleUtil changed into D_Particle
70 - tracks and Taujets have now a charge
71 - output available as a LHCO (text) data file, in option
72 - extensive test and correction of the Bfield
73 - using now an exact computation, assuming solenoidal field
74 - about 20% faster than iterative approach
75 - charged lepton isolation: IsolPt available
76 - data cards
77 - default names have been changed
78 - more parameters for more flexibility
79

81 /-----------------------------------------\
82| 09 February 2009: release Version1.4beta |
83 \-----------------------------------------/
84
85 * Changes relative to V.1.3beta:
86 - new overal header and program output to screen.
87 - new trigger cards ATLAS and CMS-like
88 - new detector card ATLAS oriented
89 - New input parameters in the datacard for very forward detectors
90 - Modification of the Resolution.cpp code to run on the output of Delphes directly
91 - #include statements have been cleaned ; more include paths
92 in the compilation, leading to easier #include statements.
93 - extensive use of 'valgrind' for the search for memory leaks.
94 No more explicit leak is in the code. The only leaks left are
95 related to ROOT, to mcfio dependecy and to Hector.
96 This implied the systematic addition of copy-constructor,
97 operator= and correct destructors in Delphes classes
98 - update of the BField simulation; still in the case of B = Bz only
99 - JetsUtil* files renamed to JetsUtil*
100 * Private modifications in dependencies
101 - memory leaks removed in FROG (applied on Frog v1.106)
102 - systematic change of by-value parameters to "by-const-reference"
103 in Hector (applied on Hector v1.3.1)
104
105 /-----------------------------------------\
106| 29 January 2009: release Version1.3beta |

108
109 * Changes relative to V.1.2beta:
110 - Cleaning of non necessary comments
111 - Removal of the minimal transverse momentum applied on tracks and calotowers when the magnetic field is simulated
112 - Correction of the FROG interface
113 - Addition of a new standalone code to run FROG on the analysis output ROOT file
114 - New magnetic field algorithm: exact computation in case of magnetic field having a Bz component only
115 - Time performance monitoring
116 - Cleaner tarball
117 * Known limitations of this release are:
118 -Work is currently being done on eta/phi variables leading to some uncertainties on these quantities when the magnetic field is switched on

131 of generated particles
132 - Input datacard parameters now taken into account by
133 the jets, very forward detectors, magnetic field
134 propagation steps
