1* Changes relative to V.1.8 -- last changes: 07/06/2010
2 - New entry available in JET and TAUJET: the number of calotower that are contained in the jet
3 - LHE warning: the file should already be hadronised by an external software
4 - ETmis now take into account the presence of muons
5 - new: b-(mis)tag algorithms
6 * pt/eta dependence for b-(mis)tagging ;
7 * now also for gluon-jets
8 * related changes in the datacard:
9 deleted parameters: BTAG_b, BTAG_mistag_c, BTAG_mistag_l
10 new parameters: BTAG_func_b, BTAG_func_c, BTAG_func_g, BTAG_func_l
11 - new: Isolation: SumEt & SumPt added for muons & electrons
12 NB 'SumPt' was before 'IsolPt' in muon collection only
13 - datacard: change of several variable names!!!
14 old name -> new name
15 ISOL_PT -> ISOL_trk_PT
16 ISOL_Cone -> ISOL_trk_Cone
17 ISOL_Calo_Cone -> ISOL_calo_Cone
18 ISOL_Calo_ET -> ISOL_calo_ET
19 ISOL_Calo_Grid -> ISOL_calo_Grid
20 - new: Vx, Vy, Vz: real vertex location for tracks
21 - bug fix: EtRatio for muons, now similar to LHCO standards
22 - new: ./configure for the installation
23 - update: default jet algorithms have change in data cards
24 - update: adding some missing "#include" statements due to a loss of
25 permissivity in recent g++ compilers.
26 - update: by default, both 1-prong and 3-prong tau jets are stored.
27 It was only 1-prong before.
28 - bug fix: bad distribution in associated number of tracks in jets
29 - vertex coordinates available in the track collection (Vx, Vy, Vz)
30 - track reconstruction efficiencies can now be floating numbers
31 - minor addition in the $(SHARED) target rule of the Makefile
32 - bug fix: the charge of the electrons in the Analysis. Electron collection
33 was the opposite of what it should have been
34 - bug fix: idem for muons in Analysis.Muon
35 - bug fix: adding some #include statements in classes in src/*, for compatibility
36 with recent versions of g++, which are less permissive than in the past

39| 16 August 2009: release Version1.8 |
40 \-----------------------------------------/
41* Changes relative to V.1.7b
42 - LHE files were not processed correctly (empty Analysis/Trigger trees).
43 Now LHEFParticle derives from TRootC::GenParticle as it should.
44 - additional data in the logfile : run date/hour + all names of used input files
45 (input event files, detector card, trigger card, beam files, particle table)
46 - bug fix: it is now possible to read "delphes root files" as an input for Delphes (GEN tree)
47 - bug fix: number of events to process is correct event if multiple files in the inputlist
48 - updates in Resolution.cpp & Resolution_ATLAS.cpp
49 - new method "invisible()" in PdgParticle, needed for invisible particles BSM
50 - new : calorimeter endcaps. DetectorCard have been updated; however, 100% backward compatible
51 - bug fix: btag was not properly working for (mis)tag efficiencies below 1%.
52 - bug fix: misplaced "#" character in the DetectorCard for ATLAS (calorimeter resolution).
53 - moving to ROOT::TRandom3 for random numbers

103
104 * Changes relative to V.1.4beta:
105 - implementation of the energy flow
106 - calotowers are first merged then smeared
107 - photons are based on these calotowers: conservative approach
108 - electrons are separately smeared according to the calotower
109 resolution.
110 - new: list of calorimeters ; CaloUtil added

112 - new: GenParticle class
113 - ParticleUtil changed into D_Particle
114 - tracks and Taujets have now a charge

126| 09 February 2009: release Version1.4beta |
127 \-----------------------------------------/
128
129 * Changes relative to V.1.3beta:
130 - new overal header and program output to screen.
131 - new trigger cards ATLAS and CMS-like
132 - new detector card ATLAS oriented
133 - New input parameters in the datacard for very forward detectors
134 - Modification of the Resolution.cpp code to run on the output of Delphes directly
135 - #include statements have been cleaned ; more include paths
136 in the compilation, leading to easier #include statements.
137 - extensive use of 'valgrind' for the search for memory leaks.
138 No more explicit leak is in the code. The only leaks left are
139 related to ROOT, to mcfio dependecy and to Hector.
140 This implied the systematic addition of copy-constructor,
141 operator= and correct destructors in Delphes classes
142 - update of the BField simulation; still in the case of B = Bz only
143 - JetsUtil* files renamed to JetsUtil*
144 * Private modifications in dependencies
145 - memory leaks removed in FROG (applied on Frog v1.106)
146 - systematic change of by-value parameters to "by-const-reference"
147 in Hector (applied on Hector v1.3.1)
