Also the standard ROOT file libNew.lib is now automatically renamed to libNew.lix
in the Ralice windows installation script mklibs.bat to prevent linking with
this libNew.lib which is inconsistent with the binary ROOT executable release.
+09-feb-2005 NvE New class AliTimestamp introduced to support timestamp information for
+ astrophysical research (i.e. Julian dates etc...) without the restrictions
+ of class TTimeStamp.
+10-feb-2005 NvE AliEvent modified such that it is derived from AliTimestamp.
+ This will allow events to be synchronised with astrophysical phenomena without
+ the restrictions imposed by TTimeStamp.
+ All existing user functions have been kept to provide full backward compatibility
+ in usage. However, a side effect of the new structure is that when reading data files
+ containing the old event structures, the original date/time stamp information is lost and
+ replaced by the date/time at the moment of reading the data.
+ This implies that to restore the original event date/time, the data files have to
+ be re-created. This I/O backward incompatibility could not be avoided in the
+ effort of eliminating the TTimeStamp restrictions.
+04-mar-2005 NvE Installation scripts named amdgcclib.sh introduced in all /scripts directories to enable
+ shared library creation on AMD 64 (Athlon and Opteron) machines.
+31-mar-2005 NvE AliObjMatrix derived from TNamed instead of from TObject to allow specification of
+ a name and title for this class.
+13-apr-2005 NvE New memberfunctions SetFitDetails and GetFitDetails introduced in AliTrack
+ to enable a versatile facility to store details of various fit procedures
+ for a certain track. This new facility is based on the original idea of Adam Bouchta.
+ Destructor of AliSignal modified to remove the corresponding AliSignal instance
+ first from all related tracks before deleting the link matrix area.
+14-apr-2005 NvE Functionality of ShowDevices extended in AliEvent. Also memberfunction HeaderData() modified
+ to prevent long output lists when many devices (and/or tracks) are present.
+ New memberfunction ShowTracks introduced in AliJet and memberfunction Data() updated.
+18-apr-2005 NvE New memberfunction GetTracks introduced in AliJet to provide various track selections.
+19-apr-2005 NvE Memberfunctions GetNtracks and GetTracks of AliJet extended in functionality.

+10-may-2005 NvE Support for timestamps introduced in AliTrack and AliPosition.
+ Memberfunction GetX introduced in Ali3Vector for easy component access.
+ Picosecond support and calculation of time difference introduced in AliTimestamp
+ to enable investigation of both very short (i.e. time of flight analysis in
+ particle physics experiments) and very long (i.e. astrophysical phenomena)
+ time intervals.
+17-may-2005 NvE Functionality of AliTimestamp extended w.r.t. treatment of time intervals and
+ accuracy bug fixed in the calculation of time difference.
+19-may-2005 NvE AliTimestamp* pointer arguments supported in AliTimestamp::GetDifference for convenience
+ when investigating e.g. TOF or trigger times for tracks and/or hits in analysing
+ AliEvent structures.
+ Also GetMJD() invoked in GetDifference to ensure to always have updated Julian parameters.
+22-may-2005 NvE Class AliMath extended to provide full distribution functions of several standard
+ distributions (e.g. Binomial, Poisson, Gauss) and key statistics (e.g. Chi-squared,
+ Student's T, F-test) in view of analysis using Bayesian logic.
+ The various distributions are provided as TF1 objects.
+ In addition, functions to provide the P-values of the various key statistics are also
+ introduced to allow a classical frequentist analysis as well.
+25-may-2005 NvE Declaration of unused variable pi removed in AliMath::StudentDist and explicit double
+ specification of integer first argument to pow() in AliMath::FratioPvalue in order
+ to prevent messages from the gcc compiler (thanks Dipo, Philippe and Peter).
+02-jun-2005 NvE Bug fix in copy ctor of AliPosition and beginpoint etc... setting of AliTrack.
+ In AliTrack all points are now set after first deleting the existing AliPositionObj
+ object instead of using the Ali3Vector::Load() memberfunction.
+ The bug arose because of the extension of AliPosition with the possibility to
+ store an AliTimestamp. This made AliPosition differ from Ali3Vector w.r.t. datamembers.
+ Also "cout << endl;" introduced after the Pylist() call in AliCollider in order to
+ separate the Pythia event listing from subsequent output due to the mis-interpretation
+ of Fortran carriage-control characters on some systems.
+17-jun-2005 NvE New class AliJob introduced to provide a flexible (physics) analysis environment.
+ Bug (forgotten ps transfer in AliTimestamp::SetTJD) fixed (thanks Federico Carminati).
+22-jun-2005 NvE Specific job folder recursively removed from the generic AliJob folder environment
+ in the AliJob destructor before actually deleting the specific job folder itself.
+ Also main object pointer updated in case of a match with removal of object(s) from
+ the specific job environment.
+23-jun-2005 NvE Creation of specific job folder made optionally in AliJob.
+24-jun-2005 NvE Selection/overruling of specific job folder creation introduced in AliJob::ExecuteJob
+ and the AliJob (derived) instance explicitly removed from the ListOfTasks to prevent
+ ROOT crashing when closing after execution.
+02-aug-2005 NvE Support for explicit (de)calibration functions introduced in AliAttrib.
+03-aug-2005 NvE AliSignal::GetSignal has been extended to support various (de)calibration facilities.
+ Printout is now also provided in AliSignal::List when only calibration data exist
+ for AliDevice (or derived) objects.
+05-aug-2005 NvE Typos fixed in AliAttrib::GetCalFunction and AliAttrib::GetDecalFunction which
+ erroneously always returned a null pointer.
+10-aug-2005 NvE AliSignal::GetSignal extended with mode=8 to support dead flag of parent device
+ in conjunction with the dead flag of the signal itself.
+07-oct-2005 NvE Support for the extended AliSignal::GetSignal (de)calibration facilities
+ introduced in memberfunctions SortHits, GetExtremes, Displayhits and SortDevices
+ of classes AliDevice and AliEvent.
+ Note : For DisplayHits this new signal correction mode replaces the marker style
+ specification parameter.
+ Also new memberfunction GetDevices introduced in AliEvent.
+11-oct-2005 NvE SetMJD invoked at the end of AliTimestamp::Add instead of just updating the
+ various datamembers. In this way the TTimeStamp parameters are brought in sync
+ with the (modified) AliTimestamp values.
+20-oct-2005 NvE Directory /macros introduced and ROOT macro makedocs.cc added in /macros
+ to provide a generic method to auto-create the html class documentation
+ on all supported platforms.

+ for Ali4Vector.
+ Also memberfunction SortJets introduced in AliVertex.
+ Misleading comment modified in AliDevice.cxx.
+29-oct-2005 NvE Forgotten angular unit setting fixed w.r.t. begin point etc... in AliTrack::ListAll
+ ad begin point etc... info also added in AliTrack::List.
+ Memberfunction SortTracks introduced in AliJet and comment corrected in AliVertex.h.
+07-nov-2005 NvE Macro makedocs.cc in directory /macros modified (i.e. ";" changed by ":") to make
+ it generic so that it works correctly on all platforms (thanks Axel Naumann).
+08-nov-2005 NvE Sorting memberfunctions in AliDevice, AliVertex and AliJet optimised to save
+ CPU time. In case two values are identical no swap is performed.
+ Basically the test "val1 < val2" was replaced by "val1 <= val2".
+09-nov-2005 NvE DisplayHits memberfunctions in AliDevice updated to fully support all
+ (de)calibration modes of GetSignal for displaying (and skipping dead) hits.
+14-nov-2005 NvE Hit access by name introduced in AliDevice.
+15-nov-2005 NvE Support for opening angle calculation between a 3-vector and the 3-vector part
+ of a 4-vector introduced in Ali4Vector.

+14-mar-2006 NvE RemoveTracks() facilities introduced in AliJet.
+17-mar-2006 NvE Support for marker of track starting point introduced in AliHelix.
+ This allows observation of moving direction in event displays.
+ Also support for ignoring track endpoints introduced in AliHelix to
+ allow correct display for very long tracks together with observed hits.
+18-mar-2006 NvE Support for display of selected track array introduced in AliHelix.
+ Also copy ctor of AliHelix made complete for new datamembers.
+22-mar-2006 NvE Line attribute selections for displays extended in AliHelix.
+20-apr-2006 NvE Several small modifications to prevent gcc warnings.
+10-may-2006 NvE Distance determination between tracks and/or jets introduced in
+ AliTrack and AliJet.
+ Also compiler warnings activated for overloaded virtuals in installation
+ script for AMD Athlon in the /scripts sub-directory.
+22-jun-2006 NvE Linear track storage facility introduced in AliSignal to enable
+ a lightweight signal <-> track backward linking facility instead of
+ the elaborate signal slot related links.
+ Also the functionality of AliTrack::AddSignal extended with specific modes.
+ Double_t replaced by Double32_t in Ali3Vector.h, Ali4Vector.h and AliBoost.h
+ and fDresult suppressed for I/O streaming. This will reduce the produced
+ output filesize.
+21-jul-2006 NvE AliSample extended for computation of median.
+12-sep-2006 NvE Memberfunctions GetNslots and AddNamedSlot introduced and various
+ modifications made in AliAttrib and AliSignal to overcome a ROOT
+ feature which always sets the size of TArray objects to a default
+ of 16 when reading these objects back from a file.
+ The modified AliAttrib and AliSignal don't rely on a GetSize()
+ anymore, but determine the number of stored values from the
+ actual array contents.
+19-sep-2006 NvE Accuracy problem solved in Ali3Vector::GetOpeningAngle.
+20-sep-2006 NvE AliSample::GetMedian corrected for empty or single value arrays.
+25-sep-2006 NvE AliSample extended with memberfunction GetSpread() and also
+ support for providing minimum and maximum values introduced.
+12-oct-2006 NvE New memberfunction GetNsignals introduced in AliJet and jet
+ ordering w.r.t. number of signals added in AliVertex.
+19-oct-2006 NvE AliJet::GetNsignals modified to prevent double counting of
+ multiple occurrences of the same signal.
+24-oct-2006 NvE AliJet and AliVertex extended with ordering w.r.t. charge.
+26-oct-2006 NvE Energy/Momentum scale indicator introduced in AliTrack and AliJet
+ and support for chi2 and ndf datamembers removed from AliTrack.
+ The latter can be achieved in a more flexible way via the fit
+ details facility of AliTrack.
+07-nov-2006 NvE Default unit scale changed from cm to meter in AliPosition
+ and support introduced for user selectable unit scale
+ in retrieval of position coordinates, errors and distances.
+08-nov-2006 NvE User selectable unit scale introduced for retrieval of
+ physics parameters and distances in AliTrack and AliJet.
+ Also the track and jet sorting memberfunctions of AliJet
+ and AliVertex have been updated to use this new feature.
+ Also AliHelix has been updated to use this new feature and the
+ default meter metric scale.
+09-nov-2006 NvE AliCollider updated to use new standard 1 meter metric units
+ and generator parameters stored in a device named "AliCollider".
+ Also beam/target datamembers removed from AliEvent and storage
+ of these beam/target parameters performed via a device named "Beam".
+10-nov-2006 NvE Bug fixed in AliHelix.cxx such that the original reference point
+ of the track itself is not modified when the user had specified
+ a different scale. Also GetLastPoint() used in AliHelix to obtain
+ the index of the last point instead of relying on the dimension
+ of the points array as obtained with GetN(). This increases the
+ accuracy of extrapolation (and drawing) resuls since no undefined
+ points are now used anymore.
+01-dec-2006 NvE AliTimestamp::Add() updated to allow specification of large time differences
+ also by giving e.g. only a certain number of seconds instead of explicitly
+ giving the time difference in elapsed days, remaining elapsed seconds etc...
+ This is very convenient by time manipulations based on GPS data.
+ The extension has been realised by just replacing the relevant if()
+ statements by while() loops in determining the remaining fractional counts.
+ Furthermore, some modulo operations have been introduced to prevent
+ integer overflows.
+08-dec-2006 NvE Memberfunctions SetUT introduced in AliTimestamp to provide convenient
+ ways to set a specific UT date/time.
+20-jan-2007 NvE AliMath extended with Nfac(), LnNfac() and LogNfac() facilities.
+08-mar-2007 NvE AliSample extended with Median and Spread calculation for 1D histograms.
+15-mar-2007 NvE AliTimestamp extended with Sidereal Time and Besselian Epoch.
+ Date/time retrieval via epoch specification introduced and UT time made
+ accessible even for cases which fall outside the TTimeStamp range.
+ As such, the UT and GST info will always be provided via the Date()
+ memberfunction.
+16-mar-2007 NvE Uniform data format introduced for printout of AliTimestamp::Date().
+17-mar-2007 NvE AliTimestamp extended to allow local time printout for a specified offset
+ and addition of a time difference specified as (fractional) hours.
+ Also bug fixed in the fractional hour conversion facility.
+20-mar-2007 NvE Support for retrieval of Local Time (LT) and Local Sidereal Time (LST)
+ introduced in AliTimestamp.
+22-mar-2007 NvE Support introduced for setting of timestamp parameters based on Local Time (LT)
+ in AliTimestamp.
+25-mar-2007 NvE AliTimestamp extended with Apparent Sidereal Time.
+27-mar-2007 NvE Test on date/time validity corrected in AliTimestamp::SetMJD to prevent
+ crash in TTimestamp invokation for very future dates.
+ Also more accurate calculation introduced of the change (dpsi) in
+ ecliptic longitude due to nutation in AliTimestamp::GetGAST.
+28-mar-2007 NvE AliTimestamp::Date extended to provide apparent sidereal time via
+ specification of negative "mode" parameter.
+29-mar-2007 NvE New memberfunction Almanac() introduced in AliTimestamp to provide a
+ central place for calculation of astronomical observables.
