Line 
1* Changes relative to V.1.8

5| 16 August 2009: release Version1.8 |
6 \-----------------------------------------/
7* Changes relative to V.1.7b
8 - LHE files were not processed correctly (empty Analysis/Trigger trees).
9 Now LHEFParticle derives from TRootC::GenParticle as it should.
10 - additional data in the logfile : run date/hour + all names of used input files
11 (input event files, detector card, trigger card, beam files, particle table)
12 - bug fix: it is now possible to read "delphes root files" as an input for Delphes (GEN tree)
13 - bug fix: number of events to process is correct event if multiple files in the inputlist
14 - updates in Resolution.cpp & Resolution_ATLAS.cpp
15 - new method "invisible()" in PdgParticle, needed for invisible particles BSM
16 - new : calorimeter endcaps. DetectorCard have been updated; however, 100% backward compatible
17 - bug fix: btag was not properly working for (mis)tag efficiencies below 1%.
18 - bug fix: misplaced "#" character in the DetectorCard for ATLAS (calorimeter resolution).
19 - moving to ROOT::TRandom3 for random numbers

57 \-----------------------------------------/

68 \-----------------------------------------/
69
70 * Changes relative to V.1.4beta:
71 - implementation of the energy flow
72 - calotowers are first merged then smeared
73 - photons are based on these calotowers: conservative approach
74 - electrons are separately smeared according to the calotower
75 resolution.
76 - new: list of calorimeters ; CaloUtil added
77 - new: constants moved from SmearUtil.* to D_Constants.*
78 - new: GenParticle class
79 - ParticleUtil changed into D_Particle
80 - tracks and Taujets have now a charge
81 - output available as a LHCO (text) data file, in option
82 - extensive test and correction of the Bfield
83 - using now an exact computation, assuming solenoidal field
84 - about 20% faster than iterative approach
85 - charged lepton isolation: IsolPt available
86 - data cards
87 - default names have been changed
88 - more parameters for more flexibility
89

91 /-----------------------------------------\
92| 09 February 2009: release Version1.4beta |
93 \-----------------------------------------/
94
95 * Changes relative to V.1.3beta:
96 - new overal header and program output to screen.
97 - new trigger cards ATLAS and CMS-like
98 - new detector card ATLAS oriented
99 - New input parameters in the datacard for very forward detectors
100 - Modification of the Resolution.cpp code to run on the output of Delphes directly
101 - #include statements have been cleaned ; more include paths
102 in the compilation, leading to easier #include statements.
103 - extensive use of 'valgrind' for the search for memory leaks.
104 No more explicit leak is in the code. The only leaks left are
105 related to ROOT, to mcfio dependecy and to Hector.
106 This implied the systematic addition of copy-constructor,
107 operator= and correct destructors in Delphes classes
108 - update of the BField simulation; still in the case of B = Bz only
109 - JetsUtil* files renamed to JetsUtil*
110 * Private modifications in dependencies
111 - memory leaks removed in FROG (applied on Frog v1.106)
112 - systematic change of by-value parameters to "by-const-reference"
113 in Hector (applied on Hector v1.3.1)
114
115 /-----------------------------------------\
116| 29 January 2009: release Version1.3beta |
117 \-----------------------------------------/
118
119 * Changes relative to V.1.2beta:
120 - Cleaning of non necessary comments
121 - Removal of the minimal transverse momentum applied on tracks and calotowers when the magnetic field is simulated
122 - Correction of the FROG interface
123 - Addition of a new standalone code to run FROG on the analysis output ROOT file
124 - New magnetic field algorithm: exact computation in case of magnetic field having a Bz component only
125 - Time performance monitoring
126 - Cleaner tarball
127 * Known limitations of this release are:
128 -Work is currently being done on eta/phi variables leading to some uncertainties on these quantities when the magnetic field is switched on

141 of generated particles
142 - Input datacard parameters now taken into account by
143 the jets, very forward detectors, magnetic field
144 propagation steps
